Archived [ARCHIVED THREAD] - 3D printed mag issues
Posted: 7/2/2022 7:39:45 PM EDT
So i printed a glock 19 mag using the menedez glock mag files, for some reason half the rounds dont load all the way into the chamber they go like half way in, and on the very kast round in the mag it locks back as if it is empty, 1 bullet still in the mag, chamber empty.

What is the issue, how can i fix it?
I think theres an issue with the follower but im not sure.

Which files did you use, there are several revisions of the Mendez magazine

It just says v2

I took the follower into blender and lowered the height if the ledge that hits the slide stop lever and it seems to have fixed it.

It still feels horrible to load the 15th round in it. Im hoping thats just cuz its a new spring and everything needs to be broken in.

The 3d printed mags just take a bit of fitting, same with the firearms. Kind of like a polymer 80 firearm, sometimes you just have to play with it a bit to get it to work.
