PWC9 and STEN Mags (forum.guncadindex.com)

Anyone have success using sten mags printed in PLA+ ? It seems the magazine(15rd lower) cant firmly hold multiple rounds without rounds just popping off the magazine. Im guessing 100% printed magazines arent ideal. Maybe I should try STEN mags but with the RR metal inserts.

Thoughts ?

reprint seems to hold up better.. functional tests with snap caps looks hopeful. i believe there is some shrinkage with bambu's pla tough+. so i switched to polylite pla+ heading to range(family farm) in a bit.. so will report back ..
