#### What you'll need:
* PLA (Optionally Nylon [645 is tested good], PETG). I recommend PLA, as it is cheap, easy to print, and is what I designed the mag in.
* A printer capable of printing PLA (or the plastic you choose to use). The Creality Ender 3 is capable of printing these mags, and costs only 200 bucks. A guide to dialing in your printer can be found here: https://jstark1809.keybase.pub/DetDisp_3D_Printing_Guide.pdf?dl=1
* An appropriate Glock mag spring - use factory-spec Glock mag springs (not PMAG springs). These can be had cheap from Amazon, The Official Glock Store (NOT Glockstore.com!!!), Wilson Combat, AliExpress (the springs usually come with a baseplate extension).

I recommend that you print in eSun PLA+, don't get too upset when you print it in ABS and it works poorly.

- Shells (aka perimeters) - 4 inner/outer (this may not be necessary, but works well for me)
- Bed prep - Gluestick, optionally on top of Kapton Tape.

### Troubleshooting
Mags may feed poorly at first. This is because the mag lips are reinforced beyond what PMAGs or Factory mags are.
Dry cycle (or live fire) a full mag through it if it has issues feeding. This will solve rough feeding issues.
Printed mags will wear out. Their rate of wear depends entirely on the user.
If you feed rounds into the mag in a manner that drags the round along the mag lips, you will cause excess wear on the mag lips, which will wear the mag out.
Testing has netted a mag that is good for at least 500. Make sure to load each mag carefully as to not scrape the rounds along the mag lips when loading.
