An outstanding 3DPD10 Build Guide video is now available for those interested in building your own PD10 Pistol. Mr. Snow’s video guide covers all the details involved in assembling the 3DP10 slide and frame. Mr. Snow is a well known leader in the world of GunCad and was involved in the development of the official 3DPD10 frame file. The file was made available to private gun makers by Avidity Arms through DefCad in early 2023. This was the first time that a traditional firearms manufacturer developed a 3D printable version of a frame for private gun makers. The file is free and has been remixed by several developers, including Krrawn, Macnay Arms, and Anonanarchist13.
The printable frame design differs from the traditionally manufactured production frame in a few key ways. The frame parts list is slightly different as well. The 3DPD10 Frame works with the same slide as the production PD10. Rob Pincus discussed the release the free 3DPD10 frame file with Out of Battery LIVE at SHOT 2023.
The 3DPD10 Build Guide video produced by Mr. Snow is intended to be used with the Frame File’s Readme.txt and the PD10 Owners Manual. Many private gun makers who have completed 3DPD10s have found the video very helpful.
YOU can build your own 3DPD10! Complete Parts Kits for the 3DPD10 can be purchased through JSD Supply, with or without a Gideon red dot sight.
