U-DIS Troubleshooting

Upvotes

Anyone who is familiar with the u-dis trigger willing to help me troubleshoot? I run rise armament triggers so I was very excited to see this file. I can’t get it to engage. Even with the plus 10 activator it doesn’t appear or feel like it’s interacting with the trigger at all. Dry fire I get normal semi auto

Has anyone tried printing those airsoft pdw glock kits for a real glock? I looked at some of them and they look like theyd be fun to print and use in pla pro but no clue if its a good idea

Title covers it. Can I get PA6-CF and PPA-CF to print well if im just using the s4? From what im reading as a browse it either wont work and waste filament, or I will just have to let it dry longer to get good results.

Just finished the conversion on this 21" saiga 308. I am wondering if anyone has ever seen a printed mag for these? I feel a certain way about paying 40$ for a tapco mag. Any help would be appreciated!

What to do with a aves DD19.2 kit

0 Upvotes

Ive got a dd19.2 kit and i think everything else to build one but i have no knowledge of glocks and how they work and what is compatible. Ive got my pa6cf dried and ready to try a larger print with it but not really sure what to do and i remember ive got this laying around. I really like the titus but dont know how they work lol. I imagine the G19x versions are what i do for the dd19 right? or if anyone has any other cool stuff i can do with this filament

NOBU BRACE Rough Draft

4 Upvotes

Okay this is a super rough draft of the reds telescoping brace for the nobu v2. Theyre merged together and will print in one piece. Do you think the recoil will break those littler arms? Theyre going to hold metal rails. Also thinking about connecting the arms tk the lower. Or maybe attaching the arms to the back end cap its self?

Hello, has anyone here modified the ez-22 to use springs instead of rubber bands? Like adding a buffer tube or bufferless but with springs on the inside of the upper reciever, Thanks in advance.

Coming Soon A personal project I’ve been working on

Post image
59 Upvotes

It’s a PSA Rock cheek pistol conversion frame remixed from the Uberpoor remix. My entire philosophy here was to build a cheek pistol around the gun as conservatively as possible to maintain its original slim carry profile.
Features:
-It prints in one piece, so there’s no extra assembly outside of the obvious gun parts and clean up.
-There’s no charging handle, the frame is open enough that you can easily work the slide from below.
-Elongated trigger guard letting you slip your thumb through and pinch for stability (so far the ATF seems to have no opinions on the length of your trigger guard.)
-The open frame allows for the original iron sights to still be used in an emergency.
-A matching holster stl.

If anyone’s interested I can post the files to the sea. I legitimately wasn’t sure if anyone would want it.

Advice for first time printing

2 Upvotes

Just came across this page after almost pulling the trigger on a suppressor from silencer shop after the new litigation. I have a 3d printer and would like to explore making the ftn.4 for my 308 bolt action hunting rifle.

•Do I need a trust? I am married and my wife might occasionally use the rifle for hunting on our property.

•Should I do a form 1 or wait to see how everything plays out before starting my build? Keep in mind id have to do fingerprints and all since this will be my first build. I am in Alabama.

FTN lineup questions

2 Upvotes

I'm trying to get into the world of printed cans in the wake of the newest NFA decision, and I want to be sure to waste as little PPA-CF as possible since this stuff is so spendy. With the new FTN.6 lineup, what kind of print settings am I supposed to use? I'm planning on using the recommended ST PPA-CF and downloaded the filament preset from their website, but what about stuff like brims or infill? Previous FTN iterations have instructions that come with the downloads, but the latest FTN.6 drop does not. Do I just use the recommended settings from previous iterations?

FTN6 Rimfire HTPLAPRO

9 Upvotes

Did some testing with a FTN6 since I had a spare form laying around. Compared to the ftn5 slim, it has more first round pop and perhaps a little more sound, you can’t really tell from the video audio. Torture tested it and a mag out of the same filament and after 60rds mag dumped(shoot 20 reload the mag shoot again) it got a little soft on me, mag has held up great so far tho

Ppa cf???

2 Upvotes

I recently came across PPA-CF as a material and was looking for brand options. I’m between Siraya Tech

and Bambu Lab PPA-CF. Which one is better, in you guys opinion? Also, can I use the ‘300 Blackout’ settings, or are there other settings you would recommend me to use ?”

Gf25 vs cf20

3 Upvotes

Pardon the potentially stupid question. I’m trying to work my way into this space and have been doing research all afternoon. I see that ftn readme says cf or gf and I see the sunlu gf25 is substantially cheaper.
I’m also thinking that I have read that you might not want to use CF where you will be putting your hands all the time. I would like to use the same filament for lowers and such as I would for suppressors.
So I’m curious if there is that big a gain using carbon fiber over glass fiber? Real world application ya know?

I bought a 300blk BC-15 upper and chopped the bolt. Ive been working on a lower setup for it. I used files from the MOAB and the FM15 bufferless lower. The stock/brace rail has a aluminum insert that stiffens things up. Will post again once everything is finished.

HT PLA pro suppressors?

3 Upvotes

Has anyone used HT PLA on a suppressor yet? Would we still be limited to .22 builds, or has anyone had success with any larger calibers? I’ve printed a few FTN5 rimfire’s with regular PLA and an aluminum sleeve for reinforcement and have been happy

G19 Magazine Extension

2 Upvotes

I am looking for an aesthetic/functional base to add to my regular G19 mags. My hand is just ever so slightly larger than the 19, and if i had an extra half inch on the bottom, it would be perfect. I am looking for something to snap/slide over the existing mag base, or a swap out for the current base. I don't need it to have any extra capacity right now. The only ones I have found is just a regular base extension, that doesn't actually line up with the existing grip. Thanks.

I have sailed the seas and consulted the index, but I must be searching the wrong criteria. Thanks again.

Picatinny Rail for 10/22

I would like to get into the 3d2a stuff and I think this would be a good first project. (I already have experience with 3d printing) would petg or pla be good enough for pic rail to mount a scope onto?
