Because the scales of my Victorinox Huntsman got messed up in the bottom of my pack :(
I did an experiment today.. 3D Printed new scales at work (Ultimaker S3)
3D model is from Thingyverse

result:

It's the plus scales, so need to hunt down a pin and pen to fit in them too :D

They're press fit, just like the originals

I did't get a perfect flush fit, maybe I didn't remove the support material far enough from the mounting holes.
Happy with the result though :D

I'd be nice to see more printed scales collected in this thread if you guys have some :D
If possible include a link to the model and your thoughts on the outcome.
