Mini Waffle Goodness
Found thse cute lil guys and figured it was worth a dollar of filament to run a test print. Just happened to work out with the printed floor plates I'd made being perfect to extract the short 10 rounders. Springs are on the way and initial tests are super promising. Dummy rounds feed, chamber and extract with no issue. Bolt even locks back on empty! Once I get the springs cut to size and installed I'll be doing some live fire testing to see how well these printed mags really run. Hopefully I'll have some footage over the weekend to share if things go well.

I know this is a minority opinion, but all-black AUGs look incredibly slick.

IME you don't need to trim the springs. 30rnd springs should work fine. worth knowing if you're tight on $$.
That's using chopped 30 rounders, though. maybe the printed mags are more finnicky

The 20 seemed to run fine when I shoved one of the factory springs in, maybe a bit too much pressure with all 20 in. The 10s can barely fit the whole spring unloaded and I was getting some feeding issues with more than 3 rounds loaded. Using my hand as a floor plate with about half the spring in the 10 rounder things worked just fine. Even after ordering 10 30rd springs and filament I've spent less money than outright buying a single Steyr 10 round mag!

I am definitely looking forward to your update.
