Changelog

Checkpoint… done.

Version History

Beta 1.16 update

Hardware:

  • Added flex connector geometry
  • Added display "wheel" geometry
  • Updated main power switch geometry
  • Slight update to display base to support final assembly with wheel. *If you have a prior display base model, simply cut the back half of the dovetail slot so the walls are vertical.
  • Aesthetic updates to the display housing
  • Aesthetic update to the grip module
  • Tolerance update to lower receiver (flex connector bolts)

Electronics

  • Updated to new revisions, fixing silkscreen

Firmware:

  • Updated round counter logic to account for the state of the chamber, which corrected an "off-by-one" error.

Docs

  • Updated BOM for hardware to include new parts for the electronics suite + earlier corrections
Beta 1.15 update
  • Added finalized (smart) magazine geometry
Beta 1.14 update
  • Added electronics BOM
Beta 1.13 update

Gas Port

  • Added little notch to HG top mid which should stop the gas port plug from wiggling out of place over time.
  • Updated gas port plug. Its a big longer now.

New Display Housing

  • Added display face geometry
  • Added display LCD backing geometry
  • Updated display main housing to fit new display face

New Button Board

  • Updated HG - Front Bottom to better fit the button board. If you have the old design still, you can drill out a small channel for the top wire to be in, or melt a little slot with a soldering iron.
  • Updated flashlight button geometry to fit new button board.
  • Updated compass mount to fit new button board.
  • Updated laser button to fit new button board.

Misc

  • Updated Barrel extension. Removed the need for the panel nut and nut cover, but added a new link to the thread adapter used. If you still need that old panel nut, its 1/2 x 28 and 1/8" thick.
  • Aesthetic update upper handguard sections (HG, top front & HG, top mid).
Beta 1.12 update
  • Updated E-Port housing to support a better, panel-mounted switch
  • E-Port box now fits and matched to finalized E-Port circuit
  • Updated Power switch to match finalized E-Port circuit
  • Updated tolerances of a lower bumper for easier fitment
  • Added safety/FRT plugs
  • Added preliminary display housing
Beta 1.11 update
  • The MA40 is now compatible with cam/lever style forced-reset triggers. This was a geometry change to both the upper and lower receiver
  • Updated gas port cover geometry for an easier fit
  • Fixed a regression where the wire channel on the lower receiver was broken / blocked
  • Updated the trigger linkage so that a shim is only required if you order the SCS metal part. The printed linkage no longer requires a shim
  • Added troubleshooting and FAQ sections to the build guide
Beta 1.10 update
  • Added documentation for PCBA of custom electronics. Good luck!
Beta 1.9 update
  • Updated cheek pad to accept a standard AR-15 dust cover
  • Added decal guide
  • Updated Upper receiver to host dust cover a bit better
  • Updated trigger geometry to only require 2 bearings while also better securing them. Should prevent them from falling out over time
Beta 1.8 update
  • Swapped FCG bolts for dowel pins. If you need the old M4 bolts for any reason, they're here.
  • Changed geometry of lower receiver- added notched cutout for milspec trigger. This fixes issues where the disconnector wouldn't fully release/reset after releasing the tigger.
  • Added 1mm extra length to the safety so the detent engages more reliably.
Beta 1.7 update
  • Added 38mm dowel requirement to fix dowels that might walk out over time.
Beta 1.6 update
  • Corrected lower receiver FCG pin placement, which should help alleviate some firing and charging issues.
  • Updated laser module housing so the tip matches the game's geometry more closely.
  • Updated top electronics "conduit" to not rely on another heat insert + widened the actual conduit hole.
  • Added laser button
  • Added terminal / housing for 18650 batteries
Beta 1.5 update
  • Corrected build guide step order for trigger / mag release (trigger install must come before mag release rod)
  • Adjusted tolerances for mag release rod
  • Added preliminary compass/laser housing
  • Added preliminary decorative wire conduit
  • Modified upper receiver geometry (back plate area) for increased strength. If you have already printed the upper, shaving off the space for the new back plate fillet with a razor knife is possible.
Beta 1.4 update
  • Added missing "Gap Fillers" files
  • Updated tolerances of stock plate bolts so the bolt heads don't stick out.
  • Added preliminary laser module housing
Beta 1.3 update
  • Added a sleeve to block the gas port.
  • Added printable decorative dowels for handguard.
  • Added printable safety selector.
Beta 1.2 update
  • The flashlight is now printed in two pieces and has a proper screw-on cap. This change also removed the O-ring requirement from the BOM.
  • The grip detent hole has been significantly widened for easier installation/uninstallation.
  • Added a printable shim to the trigger linkage to prevent it from jiggling out of place.
Beta 1.1 update
  • Removed 3/32 dowel requirement (replaced all with 1" 3/16 dowels). Affects all handguard parts and the side plates.
    If you still need the 3/32 dowels, find them here.
