FMDA 19X.2 Parts

The FMDA 19X.2 Stipple Pack includes digital files for 3D printing a custom Glock 19 frame with detailed stippling patterns like the rose stipple. Recommended print settings include using PLA+, PLA PRO, or stronger materials, with most tested frames using Overture PLA PRO for durability. A layer height of 0.2mm or lower is advised, especially for intricate stippling details, along with 100% infill for maximum strength.

Special considerations include using a 4mm nozzle as the largest tested size for proven results, though smaller nozzles may offer finer details but haven't been strength-tested. Supports such as trees or organic supports are recommended during printing. For assembly guidance, refer to the provided video tutorial link for the FMDA DD17.2, as the process is nearly identical.

Printer Compatibility & Settings

The FMDA 19X.2 Stipple Pack is compatible with most FDM 3D printers capable of handling detailed prints and durable materials. Recommended materials include PLA+, PLA PRO, or stronger filaments like PETG for enhanced durability, with Overture PLA PRO being the most tested option. Print settings should prioritize a layer height of 0.2mm or lower and 100% infill to ensure structural integrity.

A 4mm nozzle is the largest tested size for reliable results, though smaller nozzles can be used for finer stippling at your own risk regarding strength. Ensure your printer supports tree or organic supports to manage overhangs effectively. Always test your setup with a small print to confirm compatibility before committing to the full frame.

Conclusion

The FMDA 19X.2 Stipple Pack is a game-changer for 3D printing and firearms enthusiasts, offering a blend of customizable aesthetics and functional design for Glock 19 builds. With detailed stippling, community support from the Black Lotus Coalition, and clear assembly resources, this pack empowers you to create a standout firearm frame.
