There's a number of options and I was a bit overwhelmed, is there a comprehensive write up, copypasta, or something of the like?

I have a Creaform MetraScan 750 at work. It's pretty neat, can get 0.005" accuracy or less out of it. We also have a HandyScan with single line mode for very small parts.

Granted, at $150k system cost, it is slightly out of the layman's budget range...

An OpenScan kit is something that's been high on my list for hobby purchases for a while. It looks pretty functional from the YouTube videos I've seen and my printer is fully capable of making the frame.
