General Discussion

Tested the white pla pro one only a little doesnt feed great very picky for the mags. This one is pa6cf .6 nozzle 9 hour print. annealed for 14 hours will test soon.

just got a kimber micro 380 slide with the whole LPK and was wondering how peoples tiny-11 builds were going so far? seems like this will be one of my fav builds and first 1911. i know the tiny-11 is very new but whats some round counts out there?

Since we can actually talk about shit like this here (fuck you Reddit!) -- who do you guys like to use for your AR LPKs? I wanna stay with shops that support 3D2A if possible.

Has anyone tried a law tactical style adapter? Pretty sure it couldn't be made all that sturdy considering the stresses on the component. I'm making a sl9 and was tempted too make it as short as possible.

Over 100 rounds have been thrown through the ARK so far. Brass, steel and subs. Only a couple jams still breaking in but functions great.

I have a large collection of small springs. What size spring will work as a Gen 5 takedown spring ?

Waiting on my Hoffman Tactical Lower kit but the dry fit looks epic! 300 black out- CMC 2.5 flat trigger, Fl_eggs brace, Wraith 8” handgaurd, SL-15 lower PSA 8.5 upper.

Hey, fosscadtoo is gone and to be respectfully honest it doesn’t need to come back at least not on that awful site, 🗣️SO SPREAD THE GOSPEL BRING THE WARY AND LOST SOULS HERE MY BROTHAS

Reddit sucks. GCI forum is the way.

I'm looking for a printable hook style brace but I don't want the hassle of a folding one. Im just looking for a simple fixed brace that attaches to a pic-rail

haven't seen anyone talk about this so i figured id make a post here.

I built a G3 With a FMP Parts kit on a PTR91 Receiver, the trigger on the OEM trigger pack is absolute dogshit, there's so much mush. I wanted a AR15 trigger for my G3 but i couldn't find any Designs actually meant for a G3. so I printed a Full Size PTR Leber V2. Installed a normal push button safety. i also had to profile my AR15 hammer so it would clear the bolt, i used the meatballbanana jig to profile it.

it makes this gun so much more enjoyable, the ergos are way better with the Leber, i can actually reach the mag release on the side unlike with the OEM trigger pack. if you have a G3 this is a great upgrade

so... i expect a surge of new members joining this forum ?

What did we/they do this time???

Hello, I'm noob here...currently tryng to make a DOGO replica using my 3d printer. this mini UGV can shoot using Glock 26. is it still in this forum's scope? or OOT..? :D

Imma air rack this eventually

This is Orcbolg. Fully DIY .380 ACP pistol. You may seen it on reddit 3D2A few months ago. Now time to test it. As I live not in land of the second amendment, for me it not so easy. But I did possible for me at this moment and can claim Orcbolg can handle at least 20 shots. About pistol: Not fully printed, but no gun parts, only simple metalworks like drilling and cutting. Slide are composite of printed liner and metal square tube, JB-weld together. Breech face metal too. FGC-9 like barrel. If you feel yousel able to help this project - email me Sgt.Butters@proton.me If you have any question - feel free to ask here. At this moment I am trying to make minimal instructions. As it will be done, i'll start sending instructions and STEP files for everyone who care.

Anyone have success using sten mags printed in PLA+ ? It seems the magazine(15rd lower) cant firmly hold multiple rounds without rounds just popping off the magazine. Im guessing 100% printed magazines arent ideal. Maybe I should try STEN mags but with the RR metal inserts.

Thoughts ?

I want to build a box that i can test fire into that will reduce the noise considerably so i can test fire into my garage. Has anyone built something like this. Is it feasible im thinking something i can insert my hand and pistols into that will catch the bullets and not disturb/alert my neighbors. Any ideas of what would be required Im thinking something similar to the “ftn shut your trap” but not something that sits at the end of the barrel something that encompasses the entire gun like a mini soundproof room

Based off the Fair Deal Magazines by General Custer (great work). Will be compatible with Black Dog Machine springs as well as the OEM Z-springs. Two sets of followers for each spring type. Z-springs can also be found on AliExpress and I will provide the dimensions on release.

I might be going crazy, but I didn't see a CAM listed in the BOM for this or the AWCY 3DP90. Does anyone know which/what this design calls for?

Also, any idea if BB is still working on this? I've been trying to take notes as I go but unsure if they'd be of any help...

EDIT: Answer is the file(s) are found in the .STEP compilation, and need to be exported to stls. Minor oversight I imagine.

Hey just wanted to know if anyone knows of any Glock frame (doesn’t matter which model) similar to mischief machines frames

I was wondering if there is consensus in the community on the PA6-CF printing temperature. Manufacturers seem to cap at 300 (280-300 range). There is a user on other resource advocating for 320c for printing Fiberon PA6-CF citing good layer adhesion. How much merit does this theory actually have ?

Is there a limit after which temperature become detrimental ? Doing some quick searches looks like injection molding of nylon is using standard 280-300c temperature so that leads me to believe that printing hot may not be a good idea unless we do actual layer adhesion tests and not just "it looks better"

Hey all new to this, came over from the other site that likes to ban. Is there a recognized favorite iOS app for use with this Lemmy thing? I see two or three in the App Store but wondering what the favorite is? Still trying to figure this all out..

Thanks in advance!
