There is no such thing as perfect from a camera or even a high priced laser 3d scanner. The results usually have many many flaws.

Also, the printers are so slow at this time it would cost you $200 for a plug. They are great for creating very difficult to machine parts, jigs etc.
They have a long way to go. Would be great to have one to make plugs for molds though.
