This floor plate is used to color code magazines. It does not increase ammo capacity. It's a direct replacement for the original floor plate, and reuses everything else. The screws that hold the original aluminum floor plate can be reused and threaded directly into the plastic if the fit is loose. For a low torque application where the screws are not removed frequently heat set inserts are unnecessary. I recommend printing with 4 or more walls if you do intend to use the screws. On my Ender 3 with PLA+ the fit is snug enough the screws are unnecessary. These will not work for polymer magazines. I have another version for the polymer mags available here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4887524

I don't plan to make an extension for the aluminum magazines, but I have included the .f3d file which could easily be modified in Fusion to add capacity. I find the 15 round magazines function reliably up to 17 rounds, so an extension could probably increase capacity to 18-20 without issue.

These are designed to print without supports. I printed them in PLA+. I model in inches, so you may need to scale the .stl after importing it into your slicer. For most slicers, scale to 2540% to convert from inches to millimeters.
