Xbox 360 Kinect and Scanect software will cost you 40 bucks and does pretty good scans. Google it.

I've had a go with the Kinect and while it does a decent job of large objects and people, it's pretty poor with smaller things. It just doesn't have the resolution for it.
Plus, in order to export STLs at a decent resolution, you need to buy the Pro version at about £90.
Having said that, I was thinking about going the Xtion Pro Live/Skanect route. It has a higher scanning res than Kinect apparently.
I'm torn between that and the BQ Ciclop. I might hang off to see how the xyz scanner pans out.
Sorry for getting a bit off-topic.

With them not making money off filament Im sure the price will be much more. But I tell you this it can't be over $1k because no one would buy it. So I think they really are in a hard place. They have to prove themselves.
