Scale making and 3d printing... Thoughts?

[Seg85]

Hey all! Been reading some of the posts created by very talented fellas who managed to get their first scales and I was wondering, has anyone tried to 3d print scales for easy pinning practice?? Would love to hear everyone's input. Cheers.

Cheers!

3D printing de chasse

Bonjour, voici un projet de chasse à réaliser par impression 3D. La matière est de l' ABS (le même plastique que pour les Lego) couleur crème, pour ne pas dire

There is a member here who has 3d printed some scales and has them on a couple of razors. They look fantastic. I received a couple pairs from him and they feel great. I just have not put them on a razor. But this question reminded me that I need to do that.

What would you print in PLA ,ABS, or something exotic? Additive printing or stereo-lithography ?

Hello @Straight up !! I am checking in with the mate that actually owns the printer as I've no idea about that Thanks!

Have you thought about C'n'Cing wooden scales?

I didn't even know CNC machines were a thing until I googled your answer. They seem really cool!!! I don't know anyone with one though and one of my mates does have a 3d printer!

Depending on what country you live in, you might be able to access a hacker space and use their equipment for a very low price. Sometimes Universities also allow people to use their equipment for a small price.
