SUPER SAFE GLOCK Parts
The SUPER SAFE GLOCK download includes STL files for the manual safety backplate attachment, ready for 3D printing. These files are not pre-oriented, allowing users to adjust positioning based on their printer setup for optimal results. For best performance, print with a high infill density (100% as recommended) and use supports as needed to maintain structural integrity.
Recommended materials include durable options like PETG or ABS to withstand the mechanical stress of firearm use. Post-printing, ensure a smooth finish to avoid any interference with the Glock’s operation. Detailed build instructions are available as a PDF guide at this link for step-by-step assembly guidance.
Printer Compatibility & Settings
The SUPER SAFE GLOCK files are compatible with most FDM 3D printers capable of handling detailed prints with supports. Recommended materials include PETG or ABS for their strength and heat resistance, ensuring the part can endure the rigors of firearm use. PLA may be used for testing but is not ideal for long-term functionality due to its lower durability.
Specific print settings include a nozzle temperature of 220°C, bed temperature of 60°C, wall count of 20, and 100% infill for maximum strength. Enable cooling fan at 50% after the first three layers to prevent warping, and use PVA gluestick or hairspray for bed adhesion. Supports are necessary due to the design’s geometry, and all other settings should remain at default or be adjusted based on your printer’s capabilities.
