Made a defiance lower remix. I love this model. So many great upgrades to help mitigate prints weaknesses. (i.redd.it)

Which buffer tower did this one take? The gen 1 isn’t fitting for me. Gen 2 maybe?

Do you have a ship name or captain name for the sea?

What sort of improvement was made?

This looks like the green whisky remix which has the front takedown section as a separate assembly. He also made it compatible with Hoffman bushings for the hammer and trigger pins

I believe you are right. I got it from a post here a few days ago.

Search "Defiance Lower Remix" on Odysee. It's made by greenwhiskey, you're right.

I recognized it since I'm working on the same one lol. Waiting on those m5x60 screws to come in the mail

That and the ubar 3 are taking lowers to the next level and it really benefits the longevity of using pla +

Is the buffer tube/rear takedown pin section printed separately?

[–] noah@fosscad.io 1 points 1 month ago

u/East_Season7759 · 2025-06-14 20:10:02 UTC · score 3

Yes. Its designed to be printed in a different orientation for optimal strength.

Yes. The front takedown pins are also replaceable. I have them printed. But haven't put it all together yet. It's a really solid model. It feels much stronger than the other standard lowers I've printed.

Would love to see it using the hoffman reinforcement plates up front, got a kit I have been wanting to reuse
