MP5 Mag v1.0

MP5 Mag v1.0 Features

The MP5 Mag v1.0 stands out with its dual-capacity options, offering both a 10-round and a 30-round magazine design to suit various needs. Each version has been rigorously tested for compatibility and performance across multiple platforms, ensuring a broad range of usability.

• Tested Compatibility: Works seamlessly with platforms like AP5, KF5, H&K, PTR, and AR9s, though users of traditional H&K systems may face challenges loading with a closed bolt.
• Spring Recommendations: The 10-round mag pairs perfectly with a Beretta magazine spring, while the 30-round version excels with Glock 33-round springs or other 30-33 round springs from various platforms.
• Maintenance Tips: For optimal performance, apply a dry lubricant or light oil and cycle the follower multiple times to break it in.

Minor filing or modifications may be necessary, as is common with 3D printed parts, ensuring a tailored fit for your specific setup. This design prioritizes practicality and customization, making it a must-have for MP5 owners.

MP5 Mag v1.0 Parts

The MP5 Mag v1.0 file pack includes STL files for both the 10-round and 30-round MP5-patterned magazines, designed for immediate printing. All parts are saved in their suggested orientation to streamline the process. For best results, print with no fewer than 5 walls at a layer height of approximately 0.2mm using PLA+ material, as higher wall counts enhance durability and longevity.

Special considerations include ensuring your printer settings align with the recommended specifications to avoid structural weaknesses. Minor post-printing adjustments, such as filing, may be required to achieve a perfect fit. Refer to the included PDF guide for detailed build instructions, accessible at this link.

Printer Compatibility & Settings

The MP5 Mag v1.0 is compatible with most FDM 3D printers capable of printing with PLA+ material, a recommended choice for its balance of strength and ease of use. Ensure your printer supports a minimum of 5 walls and a layer height of 0.2mm to maintain structural integrity during use. While PLA+ is the suggested material, advanced users may experiment with other filaments like PETG for added durability, though settings may need adjustment.

Special requirements include proper bed adhesion and consistent extrusion to prevent layer separation, critical for functional firearm components. Always double-check the orientation of parts as provided in the file to avoid printing errors. This design is optimized for hobbyist and semi-professional printers, ensuring accessibility for a wide audience.
