3d printed glock mag fail
Posted by Lazy_Honey6823@reddit | GunnitRust | View on Reddit | 8 comments
I am having trouble with my 3d printed glock mags.I am finally getting them to load all 17 rounds but the mag keeps they show a slight crack in them and if i apply enough force the mag will split further until it snaps.my initial problem was the slicer i was using,it was setting my wall thickness to 0.8mm and i could not get past round six.now that i switch to cura i reallized by default the wall thickness is set at 1.2mm.so now i am getting all 17 in but it shows a slight crack.can someone please offer me some advice?

Go to Hoffman tactical and read through his information. He helps a lot with printer settings.

Mags are one of the trickiest parts to design and print properly, you really need to get your basics right first.

What type of filament? Dry that and up the temp.
