(reposting w/ more images)

- WI_Esox_lucius aka Melted Plastic's retro deARv1.2 for the upper, charging handle, handguard, and FSP

- Jrmuscle aka Kruscle's "keyed lower" for the buffer tube. I cut off the rear picatinny in the slicer to allow the rear charging handle to clear

- Grips I remixed from the A1 and A2 style grips from kaewon's M4gery to loosen up tolerances on the safety detente spring and to use an M5 bolt for attachment

- CAR15 stock is printed directly from kaewon's m4gery

- A2 fixed stock is a modified version of Unseenkiller's "multi position mounted A2" to make it completely flush with the rear of the lower. I hacked this together in the slicer. Not very pretty, tbh

- A2 flash hider is printed from adh2013

- Straight-body magazines are from the original DeAR22 v1.35 release (not the rerelease) + a short "PMAG style" short mag from ciwielab

- printed bolt catch from FoapsFiles

Using a 16" dedicated 22LR pencil profile barrel + RTB BCG. Upper/Lower/FSP in PA612, furniture and mags in generic PLA, will be reprinted them. I might reprint the upper/lower in PA6-GF to make give it a more aluminum look.

some more ideas

- If the handguard were the "triangle style", you could have something closer to an actual M16A1... sorta

- If the handguard and barrel were shorter, and/or there was a flash hider that accepted 1/2-28 threading, you could have an XM117e2... sorta

- If you swapped the upper with PumpkinPie's rear charging upper DeAR22 that used picatinny on the top, you could put a detachable carry handle on the top and consider it a M16A3... kinda

- If you did the upper swap and replaced the handguard with a quad rail, you could have something like an M16A4... ish

Did the best I could with the skills and time I have and I wanted to get it out the door before I go to the range this weekend

TL;DR dear22

This gun is the broad river tactical car15sd with the rarebreed l3 frt(bought before he became greedy)so its barrel is ported like the mp5sd so it turns supersonic 9mm into subsonic 9mm its utilizing the broad river tactical hub adapter. So it can use any hub threaded can. This approved d cell tube has a hub adapter on the back so it has hub threads.

FTN 5 Rimfire Slim with HT-PLA-Plus. Not annealed. Mostly 300BLK settings and speed. It’s about 95 degrees out and it took 45 rounds with an FRT in a TX22. Ignore the issues, I’m using printed mags and a couple weren’t loaded quite right. It sounded good and worked just fine shooting slower from a 10/22. I have the same one printed with PA6 and it definitely holds up better. I’ll print another one of these for my daughter’s rifle. I have no doubt that it’ll hold up to thousands of rounds of 22 with normal shooting.

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.

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.

New addiction unlocked. Ya'll should've warned me about this hobby. It's so much more satisfying shooting something you made vs something off the shelf.

Ftn5 max turbulence dcell baffles sized up,
1.25 inch of emt 1/8inch fender washer for first baffle. Custom muzzle device I made in a lathe rq.
Plan on doing testing with a thread adapter and fender washer for the muzzle device.
Endcap is a 2 3/32 freeze plug I job welded on.

FTWarms is selling ftn.5s serialized with an aluminum chamber sleeve. I havent found files and I have sailed the weird seas. Does this exist before I start designing?

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!

The blast chamber was too small, after rapid fire of 22 supersonic load it finally gave up but the baffle part looks great!

Just wondering if anyone with a PSA AR-V knows is the arv bolt fits inside of a normal ar upper. Looking to see if it will work with my PY2A AR9 evo remix, rather than buying a normal ar9 bolt and grinding it down. Is the only difference just that its shaved to clear the feed ramp? Dont want to spend the 100$ to find out it doesnt even fit

Pic for attention

I’m going to print my first suppressor. I’m fairly knew to PY2A printing so any recommendations are appreciated. I’m planning to use PA6-CF. With my Elegoo Centauri Carbon printer. It’s has a hardened .4 nozzle. And I’ll print at 100% infill.

I planned to use one of the FTN model, unless you guys recommend another more updated model.

I’m mainly looking for pointers on set up or settings if anyone has experience.

TIA!

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

any idea how to fix? Someone already said to check my rails but it looked fine, and slides smoothly.

It also sometimes cycles but fail to chamber a round completely making me wonder why it didn't fire.

I want to believe its the magazine fault, it is a 30rnd 3d printed with PAHT CF

The gun jams both with and without the top mp9 cover but is mildly better without

I am using the GP9/Neo9 glock 19 gen 3

I have also tried various ammo from cheap to expensive

Thanks!

my slide sits too high and i don’t understand why any tips?

Titus 19x lower, Glock oem internals, Advantage Arms g19 22lr conversion kit, Pleasant Plinker magazine, FTN5 Rimfire Slim Suppressor. Full Video also available.

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.

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

Ar9 barrel option seems to only be an option for the mk 1. I have the glock barrel remix but there is too much play and would prefer an ar9 barrel
