Super Safe MP5 + MP5K Features

The Super Safe MP5 + MP5K package stands out with its comprehensive compatibility and user-focused design. It includes custom lower housings remixed by @meatbanana42069 for full-size/reverse stretch models and by @HertzofHeimer for K-size variants, both adapted from the original CETME housing by @unhappyarms.

Key highlights include:

• Multiple Lever Trip/Link Options: Designed by @hertzofheimer and @meatbanana42069, ensuring fitment across diverse MP5/MP5K setups.
• Recoil Buffer Innovation: Crafted by Nick B. at Armament USA, available in PLA+ and TPU for tailored performance.
• Regular Updates: With revisions up to 09/21/24, including enhanced TPU Recoil Buffer length and PTR-compatible housing, reflecting ongoing community feedback.

This release prioritizes durability with options like the Metal Link (17-4 Stainless Steel) for heavy-duty applications. It's a perfect blend of safety, functionality, and customization for your firearm projects.

Difficulty & Build Time

• Skill Level: Intermediate
• Estimated Build Time: 8-12 hours
• Required Experience: Familiarity with 3D printing, firearm assembly, and basic modifications like the Armament Removable Sear Trip Modification Service.

Hardware and Tools Required

Required Hardware

• Clip Trip: 3D-printable in PLA+ or PA12-CF for bolt carrier attachment.
• Hex Key Link: Requires a 3/32" hex key and Armament Sear Trip Modification.
• Metal Link: Must be printed in 17-4 Stainless Steel for durability.
• Recoil Buffer: Printable in PLA+ or TPU as an alternative to Armament buffers.

Recommended Tools

• 3D printer with compatible materials (PLA+, TPU, or metal printing capabilities).
• Basic hand tools for firearm assembly and modification.
• Hex key set (specifically 3/32" for certain links).
• Finishing tools for post-processing printed parts (sandpaper, files).

Super Safe MP5 + MP5K Parts

This package includes a variety of STL files tailored for different MP5/MP5K configurations. You'll find the Clip Trip.stl for a simple, clip-on lever trip (recommended in PLA+ or PA12-CF), the Hex Key Link.stl for setups requiring a hex key modification (PLA+), and the Metal Link.stl for robust, metal-printed durability (17-4 Stainless Steel). Additionally, the Recoil Buffer.stl offers a customizable alternative to standard buffers, with options for PLA+ or TPU materials.

For best results, print with high infill (80-100%) to ensure strength, especially for functional components. Pay attention to orientation and scaling corrections noted in revision history (e.g., K package updates). Special care should be taken with metal printing for the Metal Link to meet structural demands.

Printer Compatibility & Settings

The Super Safe MP5 + MP5K files are compatible with most FDM 3D printers for PLA+ and TPU components, while metal printing (for Metal Link) requires specialized equipment like DMLS printers. Recommended materials include PLA+ for standard parts, PA12-CF for enhanced durability on Clip Trips, and TPU for flexible Recoil Buffers. For metal components, use 17-4 Stainless Steel to ensure longevity under stress.

Print settings should prioritize strength: use a 0.2mm layer height, 80-100% infill, and adequate support structures for complex geometries. Ensure your printer bed is leveled and adhesion is strong to avoid warping, especially for larger housing files. Always refer to the included Read Me PDF for specific build instructions and updates.

Conclusion

The Super Safe MP5 + MP5K file package is an essential resource for firearm enthusiasts seeking safety and compatibility across MP5 variants. With regular updates (last on 09/21/24) and community-driven designs, it offers a reliable, customizable solution for your 3D printing and firearm projects.
