Best 3d printer model to start printing with plastics?

[HoustonTradeTraining]

Could somebody recommend a good 3d printer model to print with plastics in multiple colors?
Not for mass production, just for using as a hobby.
Do any of these come with a 3d scanner?

Is this entry level? Budget $2k scanner extra . Look at :

https://ultimaker.com/

for range of materials and options. Colours limited.

This field is in its infancy and there are plenty of low cost FDM machines pretty much the same. I have a Replicator and cant recommend it.


Much more money gets you better quality of machine and build.

Thanks. I haven't seen that model before. I'm going to look into it.

If you want to print with multiple colors in the same part, then look for printers with multiple extruders ... That's a feature I wish I had in my printrbot+ (3 year old machine)

Does that Divinci 3d printer use a proprietary material for printing or can you use any standard 3d printing plastics with it?
