This downloadable file includes the STL for the G43 SS80 Frame (Lower), designed by FreeMenDontAsk. It’s recommended to print at 99% infill and position the model upside down with supports for optimal structural integrity. Detailed build instructions are also accessible via a PDF guide at the provided link for a step-by-step assembly process.

Consider using durable materials like PETG or ABS to ensure the frame withstands the rigors of use. Some hand filing and fitting are required during assembly, so patience and precision are key. This design assembles similarly to a standard SS80 G43 frame, making it approachable for those familiar with Glock builds.

Printer Compatibility & Settings

This G43 SS80 Frame is compatible with most FDM 3D printers capable of handling high-infill prints and support structures. Recommended materials include PETG or ABS for their strength and durability, crucial for a functional firearm frame. PLA is not advised due to its lower impact resistance.

Print settings should be set to 99% infill for maximum strength, with the model oriented upside down and supports enabled to maintain accuracy in critical areas. Ensure your printer bed is leveled and adhesion is strong to prevent warping during long print sessions. Always double-check your printer’s capabilities and test small sections if unsure about material compatibility.
