GC19x Parts
The GC19x file includes multiple STL components to bring your custom firearm frame to life. You'll find pre-designed stipple frames for immediate use and a blank lower for personalized stippling, allowing flexibility in your build. Each part is crafted to ensure compatibility with standard firearm assemblies, making integration seamless.
For optimal results, print these parts with a high infill percentage (around 80-100%) to ensure durability and structural integrity. We recommend using PETG or ABS materials for their strength and heat resistance, critical for firearm components. Pay attention to layer adhesion and avoid warping by using a heated bed during printing.
Printer Compatibility & Settings
The GC19x is compatible with most FDM 3D printers that have a sufficient build volume to accommodate firearm frame dimensions. Ensure your printer can handle detailed prints with tight tolerances for the best fit and finish. Popular models like the Ender 3 or Prusa i3 are great choices for this project.
For materials, PETG or ABS are highly recommended due to their durability and ability to withstand the stresses of firearm use. Use a nozzle temperature of 230-250°C for PETG or 240-260°C for ABS, with a bed temperature of 80-100°C to prevent warping. A layer height of 0.2mm and a high infill (80-100%) will provide the strength needed for functional parts.
Conclusion
The GC19x is an exceptional choice for 3D printing and firearms enthusiasts seeking a blend of customization and practicality. With its versatile frame options and user-friendly design, this file empowers you to create a firearm that’s uniquely yours.
