MEGA GLOCK 19X

MEGA GLOCK 19X Features

The MEGA GLOCK 19X stands out with its innovative compatibility and thoughtful design tweaks based on extensive user feedback. Drawing from the updated FMDA DD19.2 frame, it addresses previous weak points like screw-in rear rails while incorporating dimensional adjustments for smoother assembly.

• Slide Cover Compatibility: Specifically designed for slides with an RMR cutout, with a confirmed perfect fit on Patmos Arms Revelation slides. Minor fitting may be required for other slides.
• Versatile Slide Files: Includes two slide file options—with or without interior chamfers—along with solid models for slide covers to simplify customization.
• Upper Compatibility: Fully compatible with G23 uppers, expanding your build options.
• Community-Driven Design: Leverages quality rail vendors like Avesrails.com and Riptiderails.com for enhanced durability and ease of sourcing components.

This design prioritizes both functionality and adaptability, making it a top choice for 3D printing and firearms enthusiasts seeking a reliable Glock frame project.

Difficulty & Build Time

• Skill Level: Intermediate
• Estimated Build Time: 10-15 hours
• Required Experience: Familiarity with 3D printing, basic firearm assembly, and minor fitting or sanding for slide compatibility

Hardware and Tools Required

Required Hardware

• Glock 19 frame components (based on FMDA DD19.2 specs)
• Compatible rails (sourced from vendors like Avesrails.com or Riptiderails.com)
• G23 upper (optional for compatibility)
• Glock Gen5 style spring setup (if using the ‘G5Spring’ frame version)

Recommended Tools

• 3D printer with suitable filament compatibility
• Sanding tools or files for fitting slide covers
• Screwdrivers and assembly tools for frame components
• Calipers for precise measurements during fitting

MEGA GLOCK 19X Parts

The MEGA GLOCK 19X file package includes meticulously designed STL files for the Glock 19 frame, inspired by the FMDA DD19.2 update, ensuring improved assembly and durability. It also contains slide cover files tailored for RMR cutout slides, with two slide variations (with and without interior chamfers) and solid models for further customization. For optimal results, print with a high-strength material like PETG or ABS, using a layer height of 0.2mm and at least 50% infill to ensure structural integrity.

Special consideration should be given to the slide cover fitting, as minor adjustments may be necessary unless using a Patmos Arms Revelation slide. A detailed assembly guide is available as a PDF at the provided link, offering step-by-step instructions akin to the DD17.2 frame assembly process. Ensure proper calibration of your printer to avoid dimensional inaccuracies during printing.

Printer Compatibility & Settings

The MEGA GLOCK 19X files are compatible with most FDM 3D printers capable of handling detailed prints, such as Ender 3, Prusa i3, or similar models. Recommended materials include PETG or ABS for their strength and heat resistance, critical for firearm components. Use a layer height of 0.2mm, a minimum of 50% infill, and enable supports for overhangs to maintain precision in complex areas like the slide cover.

Ensure your printer bed is leveled and adhesion is strong to prevent warping, especially with larger frame components. A heated bed (60-80°C for PETG, 90-110°C for ABS) is highly recommended. Test prints of smaller parts can help dial in settings before committing to the full frame.

Conclusion

The MEGA GLOCK 19X offers an exciting blend of customization and reliability for 3D printing and firearms enthusiasts, with its FMDA DD19.2-based design and RMR-compatible slide covers. Whether you're remixing under its open-source license or building a functional Glock 19 frame, this project provides the tools and flexibility to bring your vision to life.
