Printed clean af. This was my first time printing at a 45 degree angle too rails up for a pistol and wow the internals are baby butt smooth and clean. The rest too. I might reprint and lower my z distance for supports as the interface wasn't as good as I wanted. Although it won't effect the gun function it's just cosmetic. I decided to just print the stipple Titus and not the rising sun one that you see a lot. I think this 19 and 17 are some of the best looking Glock frames I could find. I had a hard time deciding which version of Glock I wanted to print. Anyone with other high quality recommendations please comment!!

Annealed at 200f for about 40 mins total (data sheet says 30 but I wasn't up to temp as I thought at first). Will moisture condition while waiting for parts.

Can't wait to get a parts kit for this thing. Will be my first Glock as I've never been someone to want a Glock over some other pistols I got first. Love the variety of 3d2a stuff!!

So I 3d printed the SSSzar lower for the vz-61 build so I can use an ar15 FCG with the super safety in the lower. I built it all (using some metal parts for the super safety components I ordered, and it fires well enough in semi (I think I have some mag issues not always feeding but that's irrelevant right now as I can rip half or sometimes full mags in semi). I used a jig to cut my trigger so I don't think that's an issue.

What seems like is happening is that when it fires it recoils and I can feel the trigger fire but it seems like the lever isn't going back forward enough or hard enough to force reset. If I do it manually on the bench pushing the lever back then forward it resets and fires as expected.

Any help with this would be really appreciated as it's my first SS and I was beyond sad when it didn't rip rounds in SS mode.

Now I was using a regular ar15 super safety lever which the build guide says should be fine if it's in metal, which it is, but they provide a slightly longer lever in the files to print so I printed that to see if it helps but I haven't live fire tested it yet. It should work with the current parts though so not sure how to go about troubleshooting. There isn't much I can change.

Pics for any use that they might be.

My first time printing with a nylon like pa6-cf other than a benchy right before this started and it came out so fucking nice. I basically can't see any layers and it's got a nice texture finish from the carbon fiber material. I plan on printing few different versions of the frame just to have on hand as it's super easy to put together with the ar15 lower fcg parts. I do want to print the ATRH version to keep the stock parts too and will once the FRT comes out for it which is very close to being done!!!

I posted my PLA+ 2.0 printed lower a bit ago which was just for testing and I was honestly intimidated in printing this material but I read a lot and prepared my printer settings and it payed off. I should get my FFL and sling printed lowers for 200 bucks!! I do want to start a printing business for gun parts (non FFL stuff), custom pieces, or super safety parts, hand guards, etc etc. But we will see how things go.

I'll post some pics and video of this baby test fire in a few days or so.

To say I'm thrilled with the outcome is an understatement!!! Flawless print of the SSSZar V3 for my super safety vz61 build. I already had it in pla+ 2.0 for testing and finally sent it for the final build. Used Sunlu Pa6-cf on a Qidi Q2 with 300blk nylon settings with some small adjustments, the chamber temp to 65c and printed for about 15 hours total.

The pics without supports are after annealing and I'll be soaking it in water to moisture condition and then building this thing!! Can't wait to fire it!!

For anyone worried about pa6-cf being difficult I wouldn't be, as long as you got dry filament and a printer you know is working and prints well you should be good to go.

With the price and rarity of the metal lowers these days, I have decided to just print my own!!! I have recommended this to many others as it's so easy and comes out so nice. This was printed on the Qidi Q2 printer in SUNLU PLA+ 2.0 as this was meant to be a test frame and I'm going to print in PA6-cf for the final build.

This is the super safety lower that uses an AR15 FCG so the super safety can work with the gun. I ordered an all metal SS housing, trip bar, lever, and cam. I made a post about them in this sub a couple weeks ago, and although people shit on it, the parts fit PERFECTLY. I haven't quite got it built yet (will do tonight) but seems like all is good.

This one has the original stock adapter but there are options in the files to use a rail type adapter, top rail or no top rail etc and a few grips options. I'm going to do the original grip style but that fits onto this frame to keep the look the same.

Now if I just got my form 1 bullshit completed so I can actually put the stock on the thing. I'll update when I build and test shoot it as a pistol until my form 1 approves.

Shoot me any questions!!!

So I'm working on the SSSZar V3 super safety build and just got the first print done in SUNLU PLA + 2.0 and am very happy with the quality. I am going to print in PA6-cf but haven't tried that filament yet. The all metal super safety box, trip bar, lever, and cam all fit really nice in the frame.

I would like help with some settings regarding the support removal. is there something I can do to make it easier in some sports?. I had a hell of a fight with the back side of the print where the metal upper fits into a small channel. ESPECIALLY the corners. I had to exacto knife and pick the fuck out of it and kinda beat it up really bad. All the supports on the rest were fine. I just have them set as Tree (Organic), auto brim etc. Any help with what's better for an easier breakaway would be very appreciated.

Will update with complete build later!!! I love printing gun stuff!!!

This is an update to my post about a week ago regarding the ordering of the metal VZ-61 Super safety parts and hybrid cam (although I thought it was also metal, but their page does say hybrid I'm just stupid, although I'll be ordering metal one asap). The order has arrived!! They didn't ghost me like I thought, they were just very backed up for whatever reason and out of office for being sick they said, and took 10 days to get any reply to me after waiting a week for an order update email. They did send me some freebies (cheap red dot, balaclava, rubber grip thingy) as an apology which was nice I guess, Ill def use the stuff on some range toys so it's all good.

That being said the metal housing and parts I'm mostly satisfied with. As you can probably tell the cam is not straight and is kinda shit? I'm sure there is a reason for the hybrid design as it seems the metal part of the cam is right where the lever puts force on the cam, but this one isn't done well anyway. I sent them some pics, and they are going to send me a few replacements free of charge. Which is fair, although I'll be getting a metal one from somewhere else, but they are good to have I guess.

The pre pinned trip bar and housing are nice, sturdy and smooth all around. I haven't tried to put them into a gun yet as mine isn't ready, but I will be soon. There are only two options that I have found from metal SS housing parts for the vz-61, this one for the SSSzar build I am doing, and the other for the CZAR model, but that one doesn't come pre pinned and doesn't have a cam at all and is 10 dollars more, so for the options I'm glad I have this in metal that will last longer than printed parts. Although if you have access to something that can cut this out of thin metal and build it yourself or just print replacements to have on hand a lot, then it would probably be worth it to do instead.

Hitting the 600yd range for the first time tomorrow. (Edit I was joking guys, the sight looks ridiculous on this beast lol)

Rapco #23070 WWII Semi-Gloss Olive Drab for anyone wondering. It was between that or the #34087 Lusterless Khaki Olive Drab, but it didn't have enough brown in it for me to get close to the original color. The paint I picked seems closer to the original in real life than in these pictures, but it is a bit more green. I think it looks great though. Certainly give my praise to the Rapco paints, the website is straight Aids, but the paint is top-notch, feels great to handle too.

After ordering an "OD Green" wide hand guard from the LCT company that makes the airsoft one with the heat shield as I already had a black one and wanted to keep that for my all black loadout. Well, it didn't match anything I had on the gun already, not really surprising as 3 of 4 furniture pieces were all different shades. I spent WAY too much time deciding on what color to choose to match the OD Green stuff I got on my PTR-91 (torn between Rapco #23070 WWII Semi Gloss Olive Drab and #34087 Lusterless Khaki Olive Drab). I also tried to have the furniture scanned at a paint store for a color code but was unsuccessful to get anything to come back even close to reality. I finally went for it, first time trying to paint anything gun related. I think it came out really well and looks so good in person, I was also surprised at how nice the paint feels too.
