The Ark @fosscad.io Advice

I’ve been lurking on this sub for a bit, I don’t do any 3D printing of any kind but I think it’s super cool. That being said I’m wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction.
I’ve got a Springfield xdm 10mm that I hate but refuse to sell, I want to get a threaded barrel for it and throw a can on in but in addition to that want some sort of chassis system for it similar in style to the flux raider. This is where any advice this community might have comes in.
I know they make the micro roni or whatever but I’m really not a fan of the aesthetic. And as we all know. Looks are the most important thing when it comes to firearms.
Just wondering if yall knew of a shop or someone that prints these sorts of items and sells them, ideas or just whatever. Thanks in advance.

Tuned the trip a bit more. Live round testing is producing dead triggers after a single round fired, but with the occasional two round burst.
Obviously too much bolt bounce, but that was expected.
Currently designing bolt weight.
The Ark @fosscad.io Newbie here: help printing a Nub for my 2011 Safariland ALS?

Hey guys, I’m gonna be ordering a printer later this week and have been busy day dreaming about the things I’m gonna print. Top of the list is a NubMod for my 2011 ALS. There are a ton of files for the more standard levers that come on the Glock, SIG, etc., but haven’t found any for the 2011, which has a different shaped lever.
Can y’all educate me and ELI5 how I go about modeling this part? Would the 3D scanning apps like Kiri Engine be the right tool to use? Finally does it really matter if I use basic PLA for a part like this? There isn’t gonna be any hard impacts since it’s basically tucked between the holster and my body.
Thanks.

The Ark @fosscad.io Stock infill?
Originally posted by u/HaonSyl at 2025-06-10T23:32:43Z
As I print these thin pieces with all walls, I am slicing up the stock of the Volksstubbgewehr. I'm curious as to how much infill is necessary. It's not the receiver, but it will be taking the recoil. Is 20-30% gyroid enough? Anyone more experience have insight so I don't have to find out by testing? My 30% infill AR stock has worked so far.

Finally picked up an uncoated upper from Aves and it’s testing fine with snap caps. Can’t wait to get this to the range! I am once again using Sunlu Transparent PLA+ 🫡

The Ark @fosscad.io The Layman's Guide (Nylaug V1.1 Update)
Originally posted by u/GPU-depreciationcrtr at 2025-06-10T21:24:15Z
I have made great progress on the shorter and simpler guide. I have removed 26 pages worth of stuff that either wasn't necessary to 99% of builders, or simplified explanations that dragged on saying the same thing over and over again.
In addition I have fixed most of the issues with the original guide. (Listing parts that aren't ever used, listing stl's that aren't in the final release, no random cutoff reference photos, updated the parts list to include updated components, etc...)
I even added a comment page at the end in regards to the project as a whole.
I am just waiting on u/m70b1jr to give the guide a quick once over to fully ship it in an update.

. Are there Chairmanwon Glock 26 frames that work with G5 slide lock springs? Or will I need to have a standard G27 slide lock spring if I want to do a Chairmanwon frame for my G27 build?

Where has everyone been sourcing their Glock DB Alloy kits? I see the Sten mag kits but none specifically for the Glock magazine model?

The Ark @fosscad.io Printer size
Originally posted by u/jjohnisme at 2025-06-10T18:27:21Z
Wanting to start printing some parts, curious what size printers the community uses, maybe even what models are most effective for the more exotic/durable filaments.
I see a lot of 250mm^3 , but if I want to print a large rifle stock, what are my options besides a custom height Ender 3?

They recently released a "kit" where everything is included. So much better than buying an upper and bolt and realizing it doesn't come with a charging handle when you open the package 😂😂
