These are just ones that have an integrated turntable. The Artec and other handheld can just point at a turntable, move up and down and change angles. All of them show extremely high resolution "demos" which never seem to come out in reality when the mesh is finalized.

Never heard of it, but it looks interesting. It's currently selling for $1100 on Amazon, which (I believe) makes this the least expensive turntable based structured light scanner available.

I found this scan of a barcode reader on Sketchfab. It's mostly decent but there's some "bleeding" at the front where I'm assuming a clear lens would be and some glitches at the top-rear where it looks like LED lights are located. The trigger looks a little bumpy but I can't tell if it's a glitch or if it's designed that way. The mesh looks mostly clean.

I'd consider it for sure if I wanted to scan small objects. An 8x8x8 inch cube is too small for my needs. I'd without a doubt pick this over the similar but much more expensive NextEngine 3D scanner and their overpriced software upgrades.
Something like this is what i was thinking:https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00O2O5SS4/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B00O2O5SS4&linkCode=as2&tag=3dpricom-20&linkId=UEA3ZTI4YOUT6UKD
There are a few options but I haven't tried any. I want to though as I want to make a Fallout diarama piece using a bunch of minis from Wasteland Warfare. But like most wargames, they've super overpriced their minis and I need a ton of ghouls. So it's scan some of the ghouls I bought and copy them or do silicon molds and resin to make copies.
Unless you're printing with a photon or similar resin printer though, you probably won't get manufacturer quality.
There are some cheaper options for scanning now from the look of it.

And there's supposedly a smartphone app that will take in pictures to build a 3d model. I really wanna try that.

But for the best quality reproductions you're best bet is still a Smooth-on mold and casting with resin.

The long list but you list even a toy Makerbot Digitizer
I ask about real competitors but not about fake :-/
Do you have real experience with Einscan-SP $ 2500? Can you please show a few scans made by you.
