I'm not sure what you're really looking for? All printed Glock frames have to be designed to take one of the common rail designs (PY2A, FMDA, P80, etc.) or there's no way practical way to mount the slide.

To expand on this cause I'm not sure OP is aware of this, the stock rails are embedded into the injection molded frame. Any 3dp lower will require "certain rails" as there is no stock rails to use.
I just want to play around with designing my own that revolves around the G100 chassis I have. The nice thing about the G100 platform is that they have a downloadable boolean negative to make it easier to design around. I've been playing around with other designs but I'd like to start with the closest thing to an actual gen 5 frame.
I feel like there should be a repository of OEM only reference models.
I don't understand what you mean, the G100 is a fire control unit using Gen3 parts, not gen5.

G100.net says so right on the front page.
Do you just want it to look like a gen5?
I wanted a gen 5 model to start with so that I could fill in most of the internals and then use the G100 boolean negative to subtract away what I need to make it compatible with the G100 fire control unit. All that its really going to do is make it look like a gen 5 glock externally and also gen 5 mag release. I guess its not that important because I've already found a 19x file that was gen 3 compatible and modified it to accept the g100 chassis. I was just hoping that there was a gen 5 replica model somewhere to start with so I could make one more true to an actual gen 5 frame. I haven't tried printing yet but I modified this model the past couple days. The biggest hiccup was recontouring the back strap because the G100 chassis is really deep in the trigger housing area because it holds the trigger housing and then also has more material under it for a mounting pin. This makes it dangerously thin in the backstrap around where the pin is. So I added about 1mm more material to the backstrap while trying to maintain the same hump and contour.
EDIT: Its not letting me upload the images so I'll try again later.
I understand now, just a lookalike then. :D
