I know the FMDA and several others that use P80 parts are Gen 3, but are there any frames for Gen 4? Overall, what are the best options currently?

Just pulled the trigger on a P1S and got quite a few filaments to test. What's some other good projects I should start with?

I believe the still in beta #beta.aveees.DDxx.3 rails/lb are gen 4/5 compatible. I haven't tried them out cause I get free gen3 slides from work and most all aftermarket focuses on gen3.

edit: if you're just getting started, ignore gen4 and print ddxx.2 projects, 17 or 19, just use gen3 parts. It's the current meta for a reason. Very well established, huge aftermarket for the ecosystem. Not to mention the biggest market in the states is CA and gen4/5 is a no-go there. That means most free states prioritize gen3 production.
