Ruger 22/45 MKIV Stock and Extended Magazine Base Plates

thingiverse

I designed this because I liked the look / style of the extended mag base plates for my Ruger 22/45 MKII and MKIII, but I did not like the look of the extended mag base plates for the MKIV, so I first duplicated the stock base plate, then padded it out from +0.10" to +0.25" in 0.05" increments. Now you can print stock or extended mag base plates in whatever color you want. [If you have a 22/45 MKII or MKIII, here are the models for those mag base plates.](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5661727) [Here are mag followers as well for the Ruger 22/45 MKII, MKIII and MKIV magazines.](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5661629) I highly recommend you print them in a vertical orientation so that the T-channel that the mag lips grab on to are printed as perimeters, and not layers. See the pic for what I am talking about if you are unsure. And use supports. And you should use a raft as well, especially if you are printing it rounded end down. I am using Atomic PLA - which is what the ones in the pics are printed in - and I love the colors, but I haven't found the right print temps to keep it from shrinking and deforming rounded shapes.
