I dried my Bambu PA6-CF at 70C for 24 hours in a Sunlu S2, then fed it directly out of the dryer into my P1S with hardened .4mm nozzle, and printed this rails down. I had to add a lot of loops to the support to keep it stuck to the textured PEI plate, and I used more support than I generally would, but my first print failed after about 30 minutes because the supports didn't stay adhered to the bed.
 The frame is the G17 SuperTactical V5 from Cults3D, finished with Aves rails, OEM G17 locking block, Strike Industries LITESLIDE with an OEM Glock slide parts kit and a Combat Armory barrel that I've had laying around for the better part of a decade. My cheap eBay FCG wouldn't reset in any frame I tried it in, so in went an Arsenal Democracy SWiTCH FCG that I had sitting around. I had to do some fitting on the top of the frame for the slide to clear everything, but everything is telling me that it should run. I plan to give it a try tomorrow. |

FNG here.
This is how you print a FCG9   Tossed the PLA buffer tube with a metal FCG9 buffer tube adapter and went with a metal magazine catch. Parts bin AR-15 parts with a AUG flash hider. Standard Ender V3 with a .6 hardened nozzle. Japanese characters mean WASP added in by myself. Emergency tag has a chamber flag when it goes to the range otherwise it lives on the swing swivel. |

I printed this 26X frame rails up out of the same Bambu PA6-CF that the double thumb rest G17 was printed from and the results are far superior. I had always seen people recommend rails down, but every time I print rails up I have a much more functional print. This one took zero fitting.

I'm getting close to finishing my 3D printed grail gun. I stumbled upon a guy that had some CZ scorpion parts and I bought them for a killer price.
This gun is what got me to buy a 3D printer. When I saw this I knew 3d printing had come a long way from the liberator days. Just need the components for my bolt I ordered back in December. I'm probably going to print a grip and brace next.

  Attached FileThe green is a bit translucent, but turned out well. Need to do some smoothing out, or reduce layer height. |

Ok i get that the bolt locks to the chamber.. and the direct impingement system means hot gas is not hitting hard like a piston.. but once that chamber opens i just dont see that lasting.

Not my thing, just reposing from those nuts on Reddit to show what's being worked on. I did not think the BCG would be very successful given the clearances needed for proper function. The designer was just trying things, he said he was getting more than a few shots. I would like to see the video from SOTAR reviewing it. |

Finally finished my CZ Scorpion. I've wanted one ever since I saw it and it's what made me pull the trigger on a 3D printer.

For those of you still worried about printed things that are normally metal, you can make your own flamethrower! (just build pics, no video)

 Attached FileMade this guy a while back but the trigger kept giving me problems. Finally spent some time and redesigned the trigger to work better and so i thought i should actually test it lol. Actually shoots surprisingly nice.  Attached Filemodified on left - different ramp and height of the part that holds the striker, as well as a spring element which acts along with the spring element the frame to reduce the overall difficulty of moving the trigger rearward. |

That's what I was doing also - made a whole batch of them just in case. 3" barrel on that one, and the rest with the stock size to save on materials cost. |

Can you share your trigger? ETA, did you nix the drop safety? I've had very good luck with them. But I'll try it out since I actually like shooting them  She's Cheap Easy and Fun |
