3D-printed 12 round magazine (or 14?)
« on: April 15, 2016, 06:06:30 PM »
Hola

A couple of my friends bought 3D printers. Been experimenting with magazine plates.
This is a CZ 97b 12 round magazine. It fits 14 rounds but with 13 or more rounds the follower will exit the metal frame and jam on its way up - so I will shorten this by 10-15mm. It's a kind of trial-and-error process. My goal was to have a 12 round magazine, twelve being the maximum that will still hold the follower inside the metal frame.

I will post updates as things progress. At the moment my cz's magazine catch is broken so no updates for a week or two.

I will also make a +0 magazine plate that gives the spring 5mm more space so I can actually use the 10 rounders as 10 rounders.

latest version loaded with 12 dummies. Lacks the locking mechanism - which will be the simplest I could come up with.

Downloadable STL file: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/5461508/cz97b-plus2-v8%20copy.stl

This will be printed this week.
The locking mechanism is: a paperclip. There is a slot that snugly fits a standard'ish paperclip. It will block the magazine body from exiting.

The design is near-final
Paperclip as a lock works.
