I have a 1" split at a layer line on the lower, right above the safety selector. I was going to reprint but unfortunately I lost my remixed step files somewhere in the past 3 years and 2 new computers.
I've already put a handful of rounds through it without issues even with the crack. Just how stupid would it be to glue it and keep on keeping on? I'd rather not re-remix the step files for a new lower. Strictly a range toy that probably gets shot once a year.
First finished 3d2a build! I’m in love next build I wanna do is the czar :)
I'm curious if anyone has tested if superglue fuming improves strength of PLA+ prints. Theoretically, it would seal the print in a super thin layer of superglue. I would be curious if it would stick to the print, and if it would cause any deformation due to the exothermic properties of superglue. Any opinions welcome. I might test this if there is enough interest. A note: please dont attempt this without real ventilation and proper PPE, superglue fumes are extremely nasty and won't leave your lungs if inhaled.
I recently put together a PPPX using a Creed parts kit. I am getting light primer strikes and can’t figure out why. I have made sure the hammer is completely clear of the frame and not rubbing at all. Has anyone else run into this issue and figured out a solution?
Are there any suppressor designs out there that mount on an AR A2 birdcage flash hider? Tried searching here and on the sea, but it's kinda hard to navigate all the results.
it's all the way through in my slicer too so i can't really tell if it's supposed to be or not but i've never had this particular frame before so idk
Deez Nuts Tactical Super Safety. Grinded down the trigger and the measurements fit in the cam groove. When on SS the trigger won't pull and when I fire and pull the trigger back, then set to SS and move the lever manually the trigger never resets.
Anyone familiar with obtaining slides and barrels in Aus I find on here it’s mainly American based I miss shitonwheels and the other European hobbyists who help people like me I guess we still have just-in-case working hard like usual needs to be more builds like the fgc9 and the soon to be “not-a-glock”
Sick of being limited to the harlot and the songbird
My beach pigeon and elratto are on pause due to parts 😢
I've been slowly starting to source parts to fix my old Walther P99, and i've slowly delved into the 3d printing firearm world as i recently bought an Ender 3.
The top retainer on the original magazine bent after dropping it, and cracked upon bending it back.
I'm looking for a magazine that will work *long enough* so that i can test the firearm until i can source a genuine Walther mag set.
I searched far and wide but cannot find any magazines, for any firearm. Is this a legal issue? I already printed a couple bits and pieces that were easily sourced on websites like Cults. They turned out great. What's the deal with mags? Am i not looking in the right places? I've looked around on the Wiki and still can't find much other than lower's for p99's.
Has anyone made a G23 frame with a 21 upper? Looking for the 19/23 sized grip but chambered in 45ACP. I know there's the but the grip length falls just short for me. New here so please lmk if I'm asking this incorrectly. Thanks!
Is there any good reference models for an m16a1 stock? looking to make a removable m16a1 stock for a carbine buffer tube. So i can switch out between a car15 stock and a m16a1 style stock without removing and replacing the buffer tube each time.

PSA Lower, paired with a TNTE C7 A1 Upper. And a GP NATO can
Are there any files out there for a full size double stack .45 ACP, like EAA Witness?
I need some different glock 19 frame ideas.... I kinda scored some kits that need placement
