Ha, my bad, sorry. I’m 1/2 awake propped up in bed! I found this one online, seems like a straight forward design. I’ll play around with making something like this next week and report back. But before I march off do you have any ideas, designs, types you prefer?

I’ll play around with it next week and ping with results. I have a few different 1911 mags so I’ll be able to test as well.

Large layer heights, slow speeds and high temps help a lot.
You are looking at maximizing layer adhesion on the part that compresses the mag spring
I haven't tried this one but it is designed to try to address the issue
1911 Speed Loader .45ACP by GlowingEmbers
1911 Speedloader. Remixed into two pieces. As with the original, print the frame upside down.The press piece takes a lot of force and with the original, fails inevitably.Think about it, the only thing holding it to the frame is a single layer adhesion.By separating them and printing the press...

Let me know how it works - I might model one up with a a flared base for a better grip

LOL I was just thinking this would be much better with a flared base!!
Slice with minimal infill, pause the print at appropriate times, pour in iron filings or play sand (Iron is preferred because you can clean it out of the printer with just a magnet)

It’s a little long. You could take 1/2" off and still be nice. Or make a flare using that space

A Friend of mine printed my some snap caps. The .22lr ones wear out the RI pretty fast.
What plastic? One of the more exotic plastics might hold up better.
Best option is the "insert" design, print the insert in Orange PETG, drop it into fired brass.
I agree. I made some for a few people and the problem with the all plastic ones is that the extractor would crack the rims fairly quickly.

I've done TPU 22lr dummy rounds - didn't run them to failure because I didn't want to screw up my firing pin or barrel.
PLA bullets work very well for dummy rounds - could probably print a TPU primer that takes enough strikes to make printing them worth it.

have anyone tried this material -
i have not looked for an year now at anything new in carbon enforced nylons - is there anything new there that is worth its price?

The glass filled polymide from Polymaker was the strongest last I checked and they also have cf, depending what direction you want strength in.
Most of the cf nylon was too brittle and crap

not sure, if you talk about PolyMide™ PA6-GF - i did read about it that is is not holding even 100deg C - deforms while boiling.
as it goes at $100 per 2kg - i did not want to experiment with it after reading that.
Where did you read that
some forums, probably on reddit most likely, a while ago. you think it`s BS?

I will drop my Glock frame in boiling water and let you know. I think there’s a more than solid chance that is complete horse shit.
so, any results? is it a bs or had material sagged?
Had a visitor, haven’t had a chance

I just boiled it for a minute, def no sagging. It gets warm as I’d expect but no sagging or bending.
i am using for quite a while - 3 months - rooted k1 max that has standard klipper interface, slicing with orca - works amazingly well, and nothing proprietary needed at all.Original Prusa 3D printers directly from Josef Prusa
