I printed a gen 3 g17 slide in Petg-cf will it hold up?

where did you get this blueprint. I want it

let me get this one clear, you printed a glock 17 slide (a 9mm with ≈35000psi) out of petg-cf (probabily one of the worst filament for parts that need impact resistance) and plan to shoot it? people struggle to get 22lr slides printed and durable and you want to use it for a 9mm?? Please do your researce before getting into gunsmithing, youll seriously hurt yourself.

then i would highly advise to first print things for at least half a year to learn how the printer, the filaments and the slicer work. Mistakes can happen but not in 3D2A.
