The Regular 1022 Parts
The Regular 1022 package includes STL files for a 3D printable receiver and an optional buttstock, designed to work flawlessly with OEM Ruger 10/22 components. These files are crafted for durability and ease of printing, ensuring a solid foundation for your custom rifle build. For optimal results, print with a high infill percentage (50-75%) to maintain structural integrity under stress.
We recommend using a strong filament like PETG or ABS to withstand the mechanical demands of a firearm receiver. Ensure proper bed adhesion and consider adding supports for overhangs during printing. Post-processing, such as sanding or acetone smoothing (for ABS), can enhance the fit and finish of the parts.

Printer Compatibility & Settings
The Regular 1022 STL files are compatible with most FDM 3D printers, including popular models like the Ender 3, Prusa i3, or Anycubic series, provided they have a build volume sufficient for the receiver and stock components. For materials, PETG or ABS are highly recommended due to their strength and heat resistance, which are critical for firearm applications. Avoid PLA, as it may not withstand the stresses of repeated use.
Suggested print settings include a layer height of 0.2-0.3mm for a balance of detail and speed, a nozzle temperature of 230-250°C (for PETG) or 240-260°C (for ABS), and a bed temperature of 80-100°C. Ensure good ventilation if printing with ABS due to fumes. A brim or raft may be necessary to prevent warping on larger parts like the receiver.
Conclusion
The Regular 1022 offers a refreshing take on 3D printed firearm builds, combining a sleek design with practical functionality for Ruger 10/22 enthusiasts. With its free availability on Odysee.com and comprehensive build instructions, this package is an excellent choice for anyone looking to create a custom rifle with a modern edge.
