FTN.4 Suppressor Pack Parts
The FTN.4 Suppressor Pack includes essential STL files for printing components like the D Cell baffles and KVP Trilug assembly parts. Recommended print settings, as per the D Cell instructions, include printing as oriented with 2 walls and 100% aligned rectilinear infill, using a brim if needed for first-layer adhesion. Special considerations involve scaling the Spacer in the slicer to fit your tube and desired blast chamber size.
Materials such as PETG or ABS are suggested for durability under high temperatures and stress. Ensure proper alignment during printing to maintain structural integrity. For detailed assembly, refer to the provided PDF guide for step-by-step instructions.
Printer Compatibility & Settings
The FTN.4 Suppressor Pack is compatible with most FDM 3D printers capable of handling detailed prints with tight tolerances. Recommended materials include PETG or ABS for their heat resistance and strength, crucial for suppressor components. Print settings should align with the D Cell instructions: 2 walls, 100% infill, and a brim if needed for adhesion.
Ensure your printer bed is leveled and calibrated for precision. High-quality filament is advised to avoid layer separation under stress. For additional guidance, consult the build instructions PDF linked in the extracted content.
Conclusion
The FTN.4 Suppressor Pack is more than just a file—it’s the final chapter of a four-year journey, blending community passion with cutting-edge 3D printing technology. Its proven performance, free accessibility, and detailed instructions make it a must-have for firearms and 3D printing enthusiasts.
