Scales for Spyderco Lil' Native Foliding Knife
Description
**Think this is cool? Please click on LIKE.** This is a file for printing your own scales for the Spyderco Lil' Native folding knife. The design of these scales follows that of the originals pretty closely, though I plan on offering additional versions with other features and differences later on. Unlike my [Spyderco Para 3 scales](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6423659), though, these are .5mm thicker than stock because it was needed for strength around the bolts. I've printed with 3 different manufacturers' PLA, as well as in PETG, and they all fit fine, but you might have some issues with fit if your printer is not as calibrated as mine (or if it is better calibrated than mine...), so you might need to make minor adjustments with a knife (which, presumably, you have already). **Please post some photos if you print them and use them - even if only temporarily.** You can easily get away with printing at 30% infill, like those scales in the photos, but I'd recommend 100% infill once you have verified that the scales fit when printed from your printer. The "Show" scale is the side where the Spyderco logo is on the blade, and the "Back" is where the clip is found for right-handed users (though in the photos the clip is configured for a left-handed person). *No matter which way you print these, you will need supports. With Cura 5, at least, 45% zig-zag pattern regular supports (not tree) worked out well, as they were easy to remove. This is very important if you print flipped over 180 degrees so that the exterior of the scale is facing up. I typically print with the scales facing down, which means few supports are needed.*
