How to 3D Print The FGC-9 MKII!! Settings to Reveal (Part 1)

ladies and gentlemen boys and girls welcome back to another edition of smokey shoot shoot my name's smokey mcgee you can call me jason either one works just fine today we are gonna go ahead and do the fgc 9 mark ii i did a little poll and you guys voted on technically the scorpion evo but it was pretty both ways on um the scorpion and the fgc 9 and i'm just going to do both we're going to do this video first we're going to get these prints out of the way hopefully we get another printer on the way so it will make printing a little quicker but we'll go ahead and jump into the settings this one's going to be a bit much and a little bit longer of a video only because of how many different pieces there are for the fgc 9. we're going to go ahead and hop on over to another screen and i will show you what i'm talking about so we're going to actually go ahead and start off with opening up the ftc guide i already have it in the background here it is just open as a pdf i'm going to minimize this so what i mean there are a lot of pieces i mean there are a lot of pieces to this build so we'll do a lot of the print we'll get all the print done and then we'll end up having to build this over the course of time but you're printing each individual one of these and each one kind of has its own particular sets of settings um we're gonna do these as a start because i like doing the lower receiver making sure that's right the upper receiver the buffer tube and then the stock at least that way i have a start on a bit on all the big prints because a lot of these other ones we can do with multiples but we'll go ahead and start off with these in particular and minimize that i'm going to go ahead and open up our file here downloads fgc stl we're going to go straight down until we see lower receiver open so we got it on the build plate we're gonna go ahead and go here we're gonna go supporting angle 85 degrees because that's what it wants we're going to do normal touching build plate support density this is where i change things i go zero percent density from here that should be it all we want touching we'll go everywhere and make sure everything else is right so i am going to be using a different type of material that i haven't actually used yet a company sent me this it's called duramic uh super solid i love the baby blue that is the the crayon blue that they sent me we're gonna go ahead and give that a shot we're gonna go 50 100 for infill temperature is 220 that's about perfect build plate is 60. speed on this we're going to go down to 50. we're not going to worry about the hop we are going to keep fan speed at 20 percent and it wants to do a brim so we'll do a brim i've never done a brim but that's what it calls for and we're going to go to spec on this and go here and slice we'll be right back when it's done all right it's done we're going to go ahead and save to removable this this will be done in one day two hours and 33 minutes oh not bad eject we're going to go ahead and get this loaded in to the printer get a time-lapse going and we'll get this first print started all right the fgc 9 lower is officially finished or the lower receiver it turned out super clean we did print it like this as seen in the time lapse we peeled off all the supports it's looking pretty nice except for right here which is going to just be a little bit of cleanup um let's go ahead and jump in to the upper receiver um so i already have it preloaded into kira um i want to show you something and we'll just go from there so when you load in the upper receiver this is how it loads in into cura now if you go to the readme portion of this it shows it as being printed like this i think um it doesn't actually say it just says generate support yes supporting overhang angle at 80 so we'll do 80 but i'm actually going to do this with tree supports and i want to see what happens so we're going to go here we're going to do all of my other stuff as normal so layer heights fine wall count we're going to keep us to density as 100 my prints temp that stuff doesn't need to change for this we are going to go over here and go 80 everywhere tree supports zero percent density still and we're going to leave it at a brim so we're going to press slice so this is going to be one day 18 hours what a print we're going to save to removable i'm actually going to click preview i want to see how this is going to look with the tree supports we're going to crop it all the way down i want to see the angle on this and with the tree supports it's just basically going to okay it's not too bad oh but it's only going to do touching base plate i should have done everywhere actually i shouldn't need to worry about that because the rest of this doesn't have much except for right here this could be a problem child so we're actually going to redo this we're going to go back up to settings tree supports oh do you know what that is everywhere we're not doing touching base plate yolo we saved a removable disk we'll go ahead and time lapse this if it screws up it screws up and we redo it all right so the upper receiver is completed it turned out really clean really nice i'm actually really happy with how this duramic pla plus is working out for me um so let's go ahead and load in the buffer tube next as our next set of print and go from there all right so close this this is how the buffer tube loads in at least it did for me in cura uh what i don't like about it is how this is all hollow now it's fine and dandy until it gets up here and then it looks awkward inside not like you're going to see it but in case there's actual things that need to go in there i want to make sure that it's as clean as i can possibly get it and then you have this little overhang here as well so recommended settings for this if we go to the little pamphlet book right here it says 50 speed which we're already doing 85 percent dirt 85 degree angle for generated supports um it still wants us to do a brim and it says something about keeping the rod with this part so i have a feeling that we're going to need that once we get done so we're going to minimize this this is how i printed the last one so we're going to go to normal support everywhere 85 zero percent still and everything else is we'll go back to brim everything else is the same as the last prints we're going to slice and time lapse and hop over as soon as it's done all right offer tube is done so i will let you know that you might not be able to tell from here but right here it almost looks like it had a slight offset on the print just barely i'm not gonna worry about it until we find out that it's catastrophic and i don't think it is i think uh slight millimeters on this will will be fine um but it's a little upsetting because it got all the way to the end and just barely shifted over um actually once this way and then once this way so yeah but either way um we are going to go ahead and start the next part of the print we are going to go ahead and do the front barrel retainer um let's go ahead and jump in and i'll show you what to do so we're going to go ahead and load in the barrel retainer just like so the reason we're doing this one is because i'm almost out of filament and this is the last large big piece that i think i can finish um with the amount of filament that i have we're going to go ahead and go to standard quality i'm going to use tree sports on this i'm i'm kind of tired using the regular supports street support is the way i'm going to go for the rest of all of these prints um so we'll we will find out i'm also changing my degree of overhang support angle to 75 to give me a little bit more support on it i'm still keeping the zero percent density and i am changing back to skirt because skirt is my most consistent way of printing or at least starting my prints we're going to go ahead and slice it and see what we got all right so we're looking at 19 hours and 58 minutes we'll save to our expandable and we'll our mini and we will go ahead and go from there time lapse all right so this is the barrel retainer all finished up cleaned up it turned out great i'm really excited um now this is going to have to be a two-part series i say that because this entire thing just took up 98 of an entire roll this is all 100 percent infill so it makes sense um we are going to go ahead and order another roll of the duramic pla plus again in the crayon blue um it just solid solid stuff and i'm gonna go ahead and finish this entire thing out in that one place we're still deciding whether we're going to do the welded version versus the part kit version but either way this thing turns out i think it's going to be pretty freaking cool if you have any questions about any of the print that you've seen so far let me know down in the comment section below if you haven't done it already and you want to keep up with the channel go ahead and hit the sub or hit the like poke a brother up can't hurt you can only help me um and on that note you have a wonderful night and i will see you later deuces
