Super Safety Lever LR-308
Overview
Elevate your LR-308 build with the 3D printed Super Safety Lever, a must-have upgrade from Hoffman Tactical designed specifically for firearms enthusiasts tackling carrier clearance issues. This downloadable STL file empowers you to create a custom lever that seamlessly integrates with the Super Safety system, ensuring reliable performance on the LR-308 platform.
The primary purpose of this lever is to replace the original one when using the Super Safety on LR-308 setups, as the stock lever fails due to insufficient carrier clearance. Its innovative split tail design enables proper functionality, allowing for smooth operation and enhanced safety features. Key benefits include improved compatibility with trip-point carriers like the KAK LR-308, reduced creep risks with the right filaments, and the satisfaction of a DIY 3D printing project that enhances your firearm's reliability.
Super Safety Lever LR-308 Features
This Hoffman Tactical Super Safety Lever stands out for its targeted design that addresses common compatibility hurdles in LR-308 platforms. By incorporating a split tail mechanism, it ensures the lever functions correctly where the original cannot, providing a practical solution for carrier clearance challenges. The design prioritizes rigidity and durability, making it ideal for users seeking a reliable safety upgrade without compromising on performance.
- Enhanced Compatibility: Specifically engineered for LR-308 carriers with a trip point, tested successfully with the KAK LR-308 model—always inspect your carrier for compatibility to avoid issues.
- Creep-Resistant Build: Optimized for filaments that resist deformation, ensuring long-term functionality in demanding firearm applications.
- Seamless Integration: Requires the original Super Safety V4.4 release, available via Odysee or torrent, for a complete and cohesive setup.
This lever's unique focus on precision and platform-specific adjustments makes it a standout choice for 3D printing gun enthusiasts looking to customize their builds efficiently.
Difficulty & Build Time
- Skill Level: Intermediate
- Estimated Build Time: 2-4 hours (including printing and minimal assembly)
- Required Experience: Basic 3D printing knowledge, familiarity with the original Super Safety V4.4 design, and experience inspecting firearm carriers for trip points
Hardware and Tools Required
Required Hardware
- Original Super Safety V4.4 release (downloadable from Odysee or torrent: 37b78d35f20ce606ef4a782551095e128fca41be)
- Compatible LR-308 carrier with a trip point (e.g., KAK LR-308 for tested results)
- Rigid, creep-resistant filament such as Polymaker PLA Pro (avoid PA12-CF due to creep risks)
Recommended Tools
- 3D printer capable of fine detail printing (with 0.25mm nozzle highly recommended)
- Standard filament handling tools like pliers or cutters for post-print cleanup
- Inspection tools (e.g., calipers) to verify carrier trip point and ensure compatibility
- Basic assembly tools for integrating with the Super Safety system, as detailed in the build instructions PDF
Super Safety Lever LR-308 Parts
This downloadable file includes the STL for the Super Safety Lever LR-308, a single-piece design focused on replacing the original lever in your build. Print it using the settings from the original Super Safety release for optimal results, emphasizing precision to handle the split tail feature effectively. Material suggestions lean toward Polymaker PLA Pro or similar rigid, creep-resistant filaments to maintain structural integrity under use—special considerations include avoiding flexible materials like PA12-CF, which can lead to deformation over time.
For best outcomes, follow the provided build instructions PDF, which guides you through printing and integration steps to ensure a functional replacement part.
Printer Compatibility & Settings
This design is compatible with most FDM 3D printers that support fine nozzles, making it accessible for hobbyists and pros alike in the 3D printing firearms community. Recommended materials include Polymaker PLA Pro or other rigid PLA variants that offer creep resistance—steer clear of PA12-CF to prevent long-term issues. Use a 0.25mm nozzle for high detail, and apply the print settings from the original Super Safety V4.4 release, such as standard layer heights and infill for strength; no special bed adhesion or enclosure is mentioned, but ensure your printer handles precise, small-scale features for the lever's split tail.
Conclusion
In summary, the Super Safety Lever LR-308 delivers a reliable, DIY solution for enhancing your firearm's safety mechanism on the LR-308 platform, combining Hoffman Tactical's innovative design with easy 3D printing accessibility. Its focus on compatibility and durability makes it a valuable addition for enthusiasts aiming to overcome carrier clearance obstacles. Download the original Super Safety V4.4, grab your filament, and refer to the build instructions PDF to get started on this upgrade today—your custom build awaits!
