GOTY SPACEMINI 19

GOTY SPACEMINI 19 Features

The GOTY SPACEMINI 19 is a meticulously crafted stippled Glock frame that stands out for its improved design and compatibility. Drawing from the FMDA DD19.2 update, it addresses previous weak points like screw-in rear rails with refined dimensions for smoother assembly.

Key highlights include:

• Enhanced Durability: Updated design eliminates common weak points for a more robust frame.
• Compatibility: Works seamlessly with G23 uppers, offering versatility for various builds.
• Community-Driven: Incorporates over a year of user feedback for optimal performance.

This frame also supports integration with quality rail vendors like Avesrails.com and Riptiderails.com, making it easier to source reliable components without starting from scratch. It’s a practical choice for anyone seeking a custom Glock 19 frame with a professional finish.

Difficulty & Build Time

• Skill Level: Intermediate
• Estimated Build Time: 1-2 days (including printing and assembly)
• Required Experience: Familiarity with 3D printing, basic firearms assembly, and safe handling practices

Hardware and Tools Required

Required Hardware

• Glock 19 compatible upper components (e.g., G23 uppers)
• Quality rails from vendors like Avesrails.com or Riptiderails.com (if not crafting your own)
• Standard Glock frame assembly hardware (springs, pins, etc. as per FMDA DD19.2 tutorial)

Recommended Tools

• 3D printer with compatible settings (see below)
• Screwdrivers and Allen keys for assembly
• Sandpaper or finishing tools for post-processing
• Calipers for precise measurements during assembly

GOTY SPACEMINI 19 Parts

The GOTY SPACEMINI 19 file includes the STL data for printing a custom stippled Glock 19 frame, inspired by the FMDA DD19.2 design. For best results, print the frame rails up or down as advised by ChairmanWon, avoiding the 45-degree angle for optimal quality. Recommended materials include durable options like PETG or ABS to withstand the rigors of assembly and use.

Special considerations include using a close support interface gap (not larger than 0.15mm) to ensure clean prints. Post-processing may be required to smooth out stipples and ensure a snug fit with other components. Refer to the provided assembly tutorial PDF for detailed build steps.

Printer Compatibility & Settings

The GOTY SPACEMINI 19 is compatible with most FDM 3D printers, including popular models supported by slicers like Cura and Prusa Slicer. Recommended materials are PETG or ABS for their strength and heat resistance, crucial for a functional firearms frame.

Specific print settings include:

• Nozzle Size: 0.4mm
• Layer Height: 0.16mm
• Temperature: 215-230°C (hotend), 60°C (bed)
• Infill: 100% for maximum strength
• Walls: 8 for structural integrity
• Supports: On/full, use tree supports (or normal if slice times are long); Support X/Y Distance at 1.3mm to avoid supporting stipples
• Cooling Fan: 20% normal, 50% on bridges, off for first 3 layers to prevent warping
• Additional Notes: Enable Z hop on retract; in Prusa Slicer, set Detect Thin Walls to off

These settings ensure a high-quality print tailored to the unique stippled design of this frame. Adjust other parameters based on your printer’s known performance for best results.
