I’ve been excited for a long time for this build – an FGC-9 MK2. This firearm is a hybrid 3D printed firearm, meaning the majority of the housings and complexities are 3D printed, and the barrel, bolt, firing pin and springs are not.

Brace I used has been removed from Thingiverse but was called the “Shorkwerve Blyade”. I unfortunately do not remember the designer’s name – I apologize.

Hi, do people still use the Keybase group? I tried to post messages showing the failed prints but Keybase does not seem to work anymore – has the supprt group moved? thanks
I haven’t built my mk1 yet but I have the stuff does the mk2 use all the same parts and hardware or do I need to get all new stuff?
What printer did you use?
I would highly recommend using a propane torch, liughter or some such, to flame polish the PLA, as its perfect at retouchin surface imperfections.
Just keep exposure short, as you only want to melt the top layer.
…and only do it if you have 3 or more outer layers.
can i use an ender creality 3d to print the mkII?
RIP JSTARK
is stl available for purchase?
I am having trouble removing support from buffer tube. Please give me some advise.
There's no link in the description for your book. Actually there is no description it just says age restricted.
Curious as to your base settings for the polymax pla? I’ve already made an fgc with a mix of abs and esun pla+. Started a few parts and didn’t like how everything was looking. Seems as if I have to print this slower than I print my esun pla+.
What are your opinions or speed and temperatures used
What type of 3D printer do you use and how steep was the learning curve?
WD-40 is penetration oil, not a lube.
What printer do you use?
Printing mine now, the file came with pre made codes for the ender 3. Omg it's beautiful. Just level your bed, and load the code. Using orange pla+ and it just works!
RIP jstark

The creator of the FGC-9, JStark, has passed away. RIP
Very impressive 3D PG. Thank you for taking the time to record, edit and share your work with those of us who appreciate your efforts. Look forward to watching more of your videos on this subject. Cheers brother
Try to ECM a barrel out of the “barrel” of a Dewalt P1000 powder actuated nailgun it has a 18mm OD 8.7mm ID ChroMo tube thats about 3inches long and the whole thing costs 30$
where can I find the stl file? thank you very much, great project
some of these errors seem like they stem from stability issues with the printer… mayber adding some sort of rubber mat under the machine would help… im assuming it picks up on every vibraation… its liquid
do you know if the first one and the mk2 can use the same lower? they look exactly the same.
