This post showcases the Solo-15, a custom-designed, 3D-printable mechanical representation of a single-shot trigger group engineered for the AR-15 platform chambered in 9mm.
The core goal of this prototype is to study the operating geometry of the AR fire control group using simplified mechanics. By locking the design down to a single-shot configuration, we can safely analyze layer line stress, component wear, and precise engagement angles without the complexities of semi-automatic cycling.
Key Features:
- Optimized Topology: Modeled specifically for additive manufacturing to ensure clean slicing and accurate print orientation.
- 9mm Platform Integration: Scaled and adjusted to fit standard 9mm AR-style lower receiver dimensions.
- Educational Utility: Perfect for mechanical study, visualization, and proving out DIY polymer concepts before moving to high-strength materials.
The Solo-15 prototype is alive! 🔥 Bench testing a brand new 3D-printed single-shot 9mm AR-15 trigger setup. Pushing the boundaries of DIY design and seeing how polymer holds up to mechanical stresses.
