    Thanks! Bom is all the glock 19 parts plus m3/m4 hardware. Theres an optional but highly recommended 12 dollar barrel extender

    Other than typical glock installation, its just bolting a bunch of pieces together

    Its a pretty easy build




  • Petcf is a good filament… it prints beautiful and is very rigid

    However it gets outclassed by other filaments in certain properties.

    If you can print petcf, then you can print pa-cf and pa-gf which have much better layer adhesion

    Both pla and pa have better impact resistance

    So for a frame or other load bearing part, others do better. If creep is a big concern, then it may be a good option

    Mags are a good use of petcf for example

    Oh interesting. Theres been so many different solutions to this, never would have even thought of that

    It has been a harder project than I originally anticipated, which explains why magpul has struggled too.

    Also, thats why my solution is to bypass the problems, as opposed to address them head on

    It’s a perfect challenge of several loadbearing parts with no real estate to reinforce. Space extremely limited

    Front rails collapsing? Like the trigger guard?

    I heard there was some breaking at the hinge too.

    Ive taken a very different approach, the key is the arch.

    The grip disconnects completely and folds in front of the trigger. The trigger is oem and doesnt fold/move.

    The advantage is that the arch holds the grip by the rear and the trigger guards hold the grip in the front. The grip is “suspended” with constant traction from both sides. Works as a shock absorber since the grip is free floating.

    Fins on grips prevent side to side play

    Im up to 350 rounds and going strong on my current model. Some feeding issues im ironing out
