Actually it is fantastic for 3D scanning: cheap and does the trick. If you want to gift me one, feel free.
I have one but never used it for anything beyond the funky depth-camera visuals - how do you use it for 3d scanning?
I feel it is well explained here: https://all3dp.com/2/kinect-3d-scanner-easy-beginner-tutorial/
I'm sure at the 3d printing community they can provide a better guide though.
But the guist of it is having a 3d scanner allows you to scan an object that then later you can print (with some editing). This is fantastic for making that broken plastic piece of a machine that otherwise would be working.
