prusaprinters

<h3>Idea</h3><p>As a designer and maker having a knife or a multitool is an absolute must for me.<br>In fact, I always have my swiss army knife in my pocket, but sometimes it could be uncomfortable or difficult to take it out of there.</p><p>I already saw a bunch of pocket clips online for swiss knives but found them a little bulky.<br>You also need to buy them.&nbsp;</p><p>What if I wanted to do everything at home in my studio? Well… I designed these scales with a pocket clip attached that you can 3d print at home in under 40 minutes.&nbsp;</p><h3>What do you need</h3><ul><li>Swiss army knife ( Huntsman or similar with 91mm scales )</li><li>2 little screws M2.3x6mm or similar ( screw holes are Ø2mm, 5mm deep // space for screw head is Ø4mm, 2mm deep )</li><li>A tutorial video if you have no idea on how to change scales on your swiss knife ( Just like me )<ul><li><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DzfB7OZ70sc">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DzfB7OZ70sc</a> ← This one is very well done and the guy is super fun to watch!</li></ul></li></ul><h3>Printing setting</h3><p>No support // No brim</p><p>I used <strong>0.35mm FAST</strong> // <strong>0.20mm 100mms</strong> profiles from PrusaSlicer and setting for Prusament PLA&nbsp;<br>I'm sure that your standard settings are good to go.</p><h3>Notes</h3><ul><li>There is a scale for the other side of the knife but you can print only the clip and scales for the clip.</li><li>Clip and scales are separated for convenience if you want them in different colors as I did.</li><li>Try to use a top/bottom fill pattern ( Hilbert curve has a really nice look )</li><li>As base curve and model, I used .step files from this designer → <a href="https://www.prusaprinters.org/social/118090-3dprintedman/prints">https://www.prusaprinters.org/social/118090-3dprintedman/prints</a></li></ul>
