This downloadable file includes STL files for the P95 frame in multiple variants, ensuring compatibility with either OEM Ruger P95 magazines or Glonk magazines. Recommended print settings include printing the frame rails at a 30-degree angle with 4 or more walls and 100% infill for maximum strength. Use PLA+ at 220/60°C or adjust to your preferred material settings for optimal results.

Special considerations include printing the mag catch if opting for the Glonk mag version. Ensure your printer bed is leveled and calibrated to avoid warping during long prints. Detailed assembly instructions are provided in a PDF guide, accessible at the provided build instructions link.

Printer Compatibility & Settings

The People's Ruger P95 Frame is compatible with most FDM 3D printers capable of handling detailed prints with high infill settings. Recommended materials include PLA+ for durability and ease of printing, though PETG can be used for added flexibility and impact resistance. Stick to the specified settings of 220/60°C for PLA+ and ensure a stable print environment to prevent layer separation.

For best results, use a printer with a heated bed and good layer adhesion capabilities. High-resolution settings (0.1-0.2mm layer height) are advised for intricate details. Always double-check your printer’s calibration before starting to ensure dimensional accuracy for firearm components.
