Z-MAG for First Strike T15 Marker - Remix

This is a homage to the superbly designed T15 5 round mag from Donutmaster34 - check out his original here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2466296 where he has an excellent video. Please see his other versions which achieve some of the aspects I've worked on here and may be a better solution for you potentially.

My focus was on speed of print, total weight, fit and simplicity.

Thi version includes:

Original with a cavity inserted in unused space, this reduces weight and print time significantly, however at the cost of strength to some extent.

A debranded version of the above, which decreases print time.

As above but with the bottom slope of the mag reduces significantly, this takes away from the aesthetic somewhat but gives the fastest printed version.

Finally, a longer version, I haven't counted how many shots it takes but should be 10 rnds or very close.

I have also included an updated follower which is slightly larger so has less play, I'd suggest using the one named 'Larger' although there is an 'Even Larger' if you need it.

As for construction, if you use a 0.7x5x15mm spring for the latch you no longer need to use a pin / nail to pivot, simply heat the spring lightly with a lighter and then press on to the pin on the lever then cool quickly under a tap or similar, this will retain the spring and gives plenty of force to hold the latch.

This prints fine in PLA at 10% infill, print it with the end that the rounds are inserted down and if your machine is configured well you won't need supports on anything apart from the lever.
