Description
I started trying to use the “Walther PDP Compact Magwell-Compatible Baseplates”, but was unhappy with the retention. It felt like the base plate could come off accidentally. I haven't retained any dimensions or design features from that design.

Strength Testing
I tested the strength of the models by inserting them halfway into the magazine and applying force until it snapped. The Walter PDP model above snapped on the layer lines above the slot. My model snapped across the whole width of the base plate, and took more force.
Print Details
I printed out of Black Polymaker ABS with a 0.4mm nozzle at 0.2mm layer height. As noted in the included picture I added support at the top where bridging was required. Those are just my defaults, other settings likely work.
