Difficulty & Build Time
- Skill Level: Intermediate
- Estimated Build Time: 8-12 hours
- Required Experience: Familiarity with AR-15 assembly and basic 3D printing knowledge recommended
Hardware and Tools Required
Required Hardware
- AR-15 fire control group components (specific compatibility as per design)
- Vz61 bolt assembly (for proper fitment)
- Standard fasteners and pins for receiver assembly
Recommended Tools
- 3D printer with compatible settings for detailed prints
- Screwdrivers and wrenches for hardware installation
- Sanding tools or files for post-print finishing
- Drill (if minor adjustments are needed for fitment)
The SSSzar V3 Parts
The SSSzar V3 package includes STL files for the reinforced Vz61 receiver, designed for precise 3D printing. These files are tailored for hobbyists looking to create a robust and functional component with a focus on fit and finish. For optimal results, print with high-resolution settings to capture the intricate details of the design.
We recommend using durable materials like PETG or ABS to ensure the receiver withstands the rigors of assembly and use. Pay attention to layer adhesion and infill density (suggesting 50-70%) to maintain structural integrity. Always double-check the fitment with your AR-15 components during test prints to avoid misalignment.
Printer Compatibility & Settings
The SSSzar V3 is compatible with most FDM 3D printers capable of handling detailed designs, such as Ender 3, Prusa i3, or similar models. For materials, PETG or ABS are highly recommended due to their strength and heat resistance, crucial for a functional receiver. PLA is not advised as it may lack the necessary durability for this application.
Suggested print settings include a layer height of 0.2mm for detail, a nozzle temperature of 230-250°C for PETG (or 240-260°C for ABS), and a bed temperature of 80-90°C. Ensure proper cooling and support structures for overhangs to prevent warping. A well-calibrated printer is essential to achieve the tight tolerances required for AR-15 fire control group integration.
Conclusion
The SSSzar V3 offers an exciting blend of innovation and practicality, making it a must-have for 3D printing and firearms enthusiasts eager to build a reinforced Vz61 receiver.
