Description
3/31/25 Version 2 is out! Realizing that you might not have the exact size screw you need, I made 2 versions using a M4x12 or M4x16 screw, depending on what you have in stock. Put the screw length above the screw hole. Added slots for increased cool factor.
I found most of the Glock magazine floor plate tools you print are pretty flimsy and the punch thingy would break off. Even one with a mod for a 3mm screw seemed pretty thin, so I created one that is more ergonomic and uses either a M4x12 or 16 screw instead of a plastic punch. I printed this one out of ABS, but it should work with any type of filament you want to use… possibly even TPU if you used a heavy enough infill.
Print it on the side with at least 4 walls and strong infill. Screw a M4x12 or 16 screw in the top, and use the screw as a punch. Insert it in the bottom of the mag in the hole, then pry the floorplate loose a bit. Then you can pull the floorplate off with your hand, but made sure you have your thumb over the bottom of the mag to keep your spring from flying out!
