• Gen5 style spring setup (optional, for ‘G5Spring’ frame version)
• Standard Glock frame hardware (refer to the included shopping list in the tutorial PDF for specifics)

Recommended Tools

• 3D printer with compatible settings for detailed prints
• Screwdrivers and Allen keys for assembly
• Drill or Dremel for minor frame adjustments if needed
• Calipers for precise measurements during assembly
• Sandpaper or finishing tools for post-print smoothing

V2 Strike series & MarauderV3, 17 grip length Megapack! Parts

This megapack includes a variety of STL files for the V2 Strike series and MarauderV3 frames, all designed with a G17 grip length. These files cater to different build preferences, including the optional ‘G5Spring’ version for a simplified slide latch setup. Each frame is meticulously crafted to ensure compatibility and performance with Glock 17 and G22 uppers.

For optimal results, print these files with a high level of detail, using a layer height of 0.2mm or finer. PETG or ABS materials are recommended for their strength and durability under stress. Ensure proper bed adhesion and consider using supports for complex overhangs to maintain structural accuracy during printing.

A detailed build manual is also available as a PDF guide at: Digital Nimbus Labs Invader G17 Build Manual. This resource provides step-by-step instructions to streamline your assembly process.

Printer Compatibility & Settings

The V2 Strike series & MarauderV3 Megapack is compatible with most FDM 3D printers capable of handling detailed prints, such as Ender 3, Prusa i3, or similar models. For materials, PETG or ABS are highly recommended due to their balance of strength and flexibility, essential for firearm frames. Avoid PLA, as it lacks the durability needed for functional builds.

Use a layer height of 0.2mm or lower for precision, with an infill density of at least 50% to ensure structural integrity. A heated bed (60-80°C for PETG, 90-110°C for ABS) is crucial to prevent warping. Enable supports for intricate areas and maintain a slow print speed (30-50mm/s) to achieve the best results.

Conclusion

The V2 Strike series & MarauderV3, 17 grip length Megapack! is an essential resource for any 3D printing or firearms enthusiast looking to craft reliable, high-performance Glock-compatible frames.
