Holster cho M&P 2.0 Compact 4" gắn TLR-7A

I needed a holster for my gun. The place I ordered from was taking a really long time, so I took matters into my own hands. This holster still has great retention and I drilled holes in it so I could use an UltiTuck clip. As always, treat every firearm as if it were loaded. Clear your gun and put the ammunition somewhere else while you're working with it. You are liable for your own safety. Be responsible :)

NOTE: This is not a replacement for a proper Kydex holster.

The model is 1.88mm high, the same as another holster I have. You can go for a little thicker, if you want, but it may affect the molding process. I printed this in PLA, but I'd probably use PLA+ in the future, for more rigidity.

In theory, this should work for pretty much any gun. You would just have to scale it to the dimensions you need. To make your own from scratch, just make a trace and import as a canvas, calibrate, and mirror when you're done modeling.

It's a really easy print.

I used Triangle infill at 15%. I wanted a pattern that would presumably be pretty even all around and strong and also look nice after a press. Triangle won my interest, but others should work fine. Maybe not Lightning

4 walls. Could have gone higher, though

2 bottom layers and 3 top layers. I used the Concentric pattern for the bottom. No ironing on the top, but it wouldn't hurt if you did. 

I also went with 1.5mm Brim to keep it from lifting on the edges

Once done, just line it up with your UNLOADED gun and use a hairdryer to soften the sheet. It took me 2 hours to get it right. Just take your time and you'll get it to where you want it to be. To do the press, I put the gun and the PLA sheet between two pads of foam. I had some foam acoustic panels laying around and I used the flat sides: https://a.co/d/3g2J9eX

Pro tip: a screwdriver was about the width I needed to make space for my front sights. It also makes a good leverage for your initial melt to get the shape you need and have it be level on both sides before putting the gun in. Didn't figure that out until like an hour into the process.

Be safe out there
