Magazine slide feature underway


I really want to see how the magazine sliding action will work out, and I had some ideas for strengthening the frame while making the gun easier to print.  I started by chopping off the front of the gun to save on time and materials.  I added a couple of bosses that will hopefully engage the slots in the magazine.  Actually, as I type this I have realized that I didn't measure the slot and picked an arbitrary value -- oops!  The small printed piece is intended to be glued to the bottom of the frame and act as the magazine keeper and extra guide.


I decided to kick off a fixed print so the frame has the right thickness.  Here's what the grip might look like eventually.
