Thread: 3D Printed scales

That is awesome, I never would have thought of that! Do you have any printing in progress pictures? My friend just bought one of those printers, I need to see if his can do this.

Boker scales with the Tree emblem on them would be great to be able to make.

3D printers....aren't they a wonderful thing!

Can't wait to see what other kinds of scales yall make.

I'm thinking the Wade and Butcher arrow in white on black scales. Supposedly he can print text as well. The resolution is the only concern with text

There must be thousands of videos out there showing what people's products can do.

I found this very interesting.

I often wonder whether I would want a 3D machine or something like a laser engraver where you could carve your own media.

One of our guys, Oldblades ( Tim ) in Missouri has been doing the laser stuff for years. He would be a good person to ask .

I had a lot of fun and learning at this, at least for me, impromptu get together.

Overall I was impressed with the scales Animesh brought. I need to get me a couple of sets to play with.....

With only seeing a couple of examples out of many possibilities my first impression is of a modern celluloid equivalent. Horn Ivory and natural materials etc. cannot be reproduced but they can be sort of imitated in a relatively cheap utilitarian tool. And I didn't see an example but think you could even print a naked lady!

Lasers are fun. Did these awhile back, acrylic w/faux mop inlay.

I'm just going to assume that you mean on a set of scales.

You assumed right.
