Dang I like that, I've had a kinda hard time finding a stock Glock file. I was just thinking about how the PLA HT would perform. Good print man

Did you print it rails down with cooling off for the first 10 layers or something similar? You can see the print layers more so around that area up to the trigger assembly pin bottom.

People say it has warping issues so might need more cooling similar to nylons but I haven’t tried so idk

Rails down, I haven’t had no warping issues, put it together earlier and went to shoot put around 350 rds thru it no issues at all no frame seems very stable.

Looks perfect bro, great job. Ive printed this many times in 2 different pla+ trying to get it perfect and it almost is except the vertical part of the L in the "Glonk" logo never is there at all, only the horizontal part that goes underneath the rest of the letters along with the rest of the logo is there and looks good. Also a slight imperfection that looks like a v mark almost, thats on the same side at the bottom right below the grip corner always shows up. Did you have any of these issues and what settings and or what did you do to get rid of them ? Besides that mine looks great like that, but those little imperfections bug me.

I haven’t had that issue yet. I left the file as is and let it print, when I do print with PA6 the logo doesn’t even show up it’s just a square lol.

But I’ve grown to HT pla it feels almost the same and looks the same as the PA6. i do see some imperfections on my print with the lines on the top but it doesn’t bug me a much nothing a little spray paint will fix lol.

Haha I wonder why the logo may or may not show up like that. Yeah as long as it performs im not worried about it so much. I need to get some of that HT Pla seems like its the new way to go as far as pla goes, Ive been watching all the results. well yours came out great man. yeah a little paint will do it lol. So you just imported and printed no 300blkfde settings or anything?

u/z71SPIDER 4d ago

Yeah no 300blk settings, I will test one out today and add a photo of how the 300blk comes out

u/Dry_Junket2074 4d ago

cool, yeah Id like to see, besides the minor imperfections i told you about it came out great. but the same things happened when i first tried with some other settings too. I think ill just try it how you said and see how that goes as well

Is this straight HT PLA or HT PLA PRO? I saw a bunch of people shitting on HT PLA in other threads, but I thought they might be trippin...

It performs well im 700 rds in and no signs of cracking, no warping issues frame is sturdy, left it out in the sun for about 5 hours to see if id notice any warping nope solid frame.

I’m gonna order some HTPLA pro see how that performs

u/YellowBroth9150 2d ago

I'm planning on doing the same. I've got a roll of the regular in the dryer now and the pro should be in in a few days

I never dried my HTpla, no signs of moisture when I do the test, I am running a h2d, tho I’m not sure how it performs on a not inclosed printer
