Speed loader was designed around a Glock 17 9mm double stack magazine.
- Recessed panels are provided to customize the speed loader--both with grip nubs and without. Giving the user the options to have extra grip or a flat surface plate choice. I encourage you to print them all - install them dry without glue to determine your preferences. Then glue them in to assemble.
- Files are set up for user to change the colors of the plates and logos--if so desired under the object's settings in slicer.
- Fuzzy skin was added to exterior surfaces of the speed loader for extra grip. Do not put fuzzy skin on inside of magazine slide or panel recesses as tolerances are fairly tight and may interfere with ammo loading operation or the assembly of the plates.
- Glow in the dark logo was chosen to help locate speed loader in low light environments if dropped. However, you can change to whatever color sequence you desire.
- PLA was used for the logo panels because more color variety were available and I thought the Glow filiment looked better and brighter than PETG offerings.
- PETG-HF was used for the speed loader for durability and strength.
- E6000 glue is used to bond and secure the logo plates to the speed loader--afterwards.
- Smooth PEI plate was used. I've also successfully used a Textured PEI plate to create these designs.
- I've tried to print the logo plates face down on smooth plate. They turn out ok. However, to achieve the best-looking surface appearance for the logo plate finish product--I used the ironing feature as it slows down and smooths the top surfaces out nicely.
