  • RXM Bending

  • a press is relatively inexpensive so using one should be the ideal route for DIY purposes.

  • ok.. well hopefully a DIY solution is figured out sometime soon.

  • Giving up on the Franken 9

    Jump

  • dont think thats the main issue. the main issue as i read it, is the frame has some inherent design flaws. but im not op, so i dont want to speak for him..

    but yeah to ops point.. i pretty much just put the thing in its parts bin and may just recycle parts for another PDW until USK releases his own blessed version.

    but for now, im printing the sporter2 xl parts.. putting together a 20+ build

  • do you mind releasing a step so i can try bending a flat using a hammer/press method ?

  • cool.. once i get my qidi plus 4 gears cleaned, i may try to print something in pps-cf.

    i may also try plain pps..

  • i see your posted STL hit the GCI.. printing this once my printers are free from the last bit of the sporter2 xl..

  • where did you get the STLs printed in your picture ?

  • Finished testing PET-CF; it sucks

    Jump

  • right... pet-cf prints pretty, but is not really functional/reliable for frames. i was on the pet-cf train and tried hard to make it work. but all parts and frames eventually just split on layer lines.

    id like to see more reports on plain ppa, plain pps... although i believe plain ppa is susceptible to creep.. as seen on amazon and r/ posts.

    would be good to have a community spreadhseet listing/rating he various filaments.. with fields for best application, ideal print temp, ideal drying temp/time, etc.

  • have you used the jigs to succesfully bend a flat ? or somewhat bend a flat? if so, are the STLs posted somewhere ?

  • the picture in your first post.. it there is a plastic print between the flat and the insert. what is that plastic print ? is it used to bend the flat ?

  • im new to this side of the community. where can one purchase a thread apapter ? specifically for the ftn5 rimfire device ? maybe amazon ?

    per the readme..

    "Assembly - Screw in a 1/2x28 to 3/4x16 thread adapter (you can epoxy it in if you want)"

  • RXM Bending

    Jump

  • cool.. well hopefully you and others can prime the wider conversation so the community can get started on documenting a complete build. even if it includes manually bending a flat to where it's 'good enough' to insert and then run.

  • Why is there a dorito in this 2011?

    Jump

  • its a remix of this frame.. same overall general concept ive built one using the ria 9mm ramped kit found at hgw or vendor site.

    Franken 9 Fixed - Build Complete

    ran out of same color bolts...

    also.. readme says to use m3 bolts for handguard and rails. i believe it should be m5.. at least the bolt and nut holes are sized m5.. or maybe i did something wrong.. will see later today.

    Chortex + Kaewon 10/22 Receiver

    Grip comes slightly loose.. just have to tighten it before range time.. Wish the chortex used a m5 nut insert like the galileo and USK PDW models.

    Anyway.. bullshit optic but works fine for 25yrd standup/free-hand shooting.

    USK - PDW Collection

    Clockwise from top left.

    R45 - cant get to feed properly. probably user/builder error

    Franken 9 - slide wont pull back - possible design issue.. still being determined

    R3 - Runs without issue

    PWC 9 - Runs without issue

    DB9-22 Conversion

    Anyone here built this yet ? Im guessing re-enforcement plates arent needed for a 22lr build(??) On a 22lr kick of late.. About to put together a 22" galilo.. :-)

    Franken 9 Question

    I cant pull back the slide all the way. The thing is completely built.. trigger pin, charging handle, etc. However, I cant pull the slide all the way back.. The slide fits onto both front/rear rails. I just cant pull the slide beyond that. I can take the slide down using the takedown button. So.. what am I missing here ?

    Ive built numerous glock frames.. so not a newbie..

    Thoughts ?

    PWC 9 - Sten Magazine Update

    So Ive been having feeding issues with sten mags printed in PLA. Ive tried various PLA+ types and PLA+ manufacturers. All magazines could not hold more than 5 rds as too many rounds would loosen feedd lips. Thus not allowing rounds to stay in place for the bolt to pick up a round. Also, the magazine would not last longer than say 50rds.. bolt cycling would wear down the feed lips again, causing rounds to fall out of place and out of the magazine. So I went against the grain, picked up a Sunlu E2 dryer, dried some stored PC(75 @ 12hrs), then printed a 15rd double catch sten magazine in PC. Without any metal additions, the PC printed sten magazine can hold max rounds and can last a whole day at the range. I have the 8 inch 9mm version and its dialed in at 25yrds.. thing is just punching holes in my 3inch splatter stickers. Im not one to just chuck rounds down range.. too type a for that.. I need tight and accurate groupings. Anyway.. With the PC magazine this build is freaking hummi

    22lr - Mostly Printed

    Is there something that uses a metal 22lr barrel and maybe a glock trigger.. but the rest is printed ? Or a 3dp g44 or something similar ? somthing that a takes a g44 slide ? I already have a advantage arms 22lr for g17 and g19.

    Menendez Feed Lips

    Is there a jig to cut feed lips ? or do you have to send the dxf to a place like SCS ?

    I understand bending must be done using a bending jig.

    PC And Other NON-CF Filaments

    So I have a spool of Polymaker PC thats been in the storage bin for a while. I picked up a Sunlu E2 dryer.. just takes the guessing game out of the equation.

    Anyway.. is PC a good filament for cans ? magazines ?

    What about PPS(non CF varient)

    I think there should be a community created sticky/FAQ that contains a table of filaments and their proper application.

    Table with fields like the below.

    Filament type Drying temp/time Annealing time Applications - frames, magazines, grips, etc Comments

    Grip Install And Heat Inserts

    Im trying to add heat inserts to my 10/22 chasis grip. However, Ive tried everything and I cant seem to get the heat insert to stay inserted. Any hints ? Or maybe theres a 10/22 chasis that usese a m4 nut instead.. like how you install a grip for the receission ruger. ??

    PWC9 and STEN Mags

    Anyone have success using sten mags printed in PLA+ ? It seems the magazine(15rd lower) cant firmly hold multiple rounds without rounds just popping off the magazine. Im guessing 100% printed magazines arent ideal. Maybe I should try STEN mags but with the RR metal inserts.

    Thoughts ?

    PWC9 Upper

    I see mac-11 uppers for sale at:

    1. Aves
    2. Parts Dispensed
    3. JC Arms
    4. MasterPiece Arms

    Since MPA only has the side charging upper immediately available, can I purchase a side charging bolt from another vendor ? I'm guessing MAC-11 is a specification as well, so parts should be interchangeable.If not, whats the opinion of the complete uppers from Aves ?
