First post, so go easy on me, but I'm wondering if there is any call in this community for a Glock compensator that doesn't suck. By that, I mean on that isn't overly huge, but still will work with PLA plus. If so, I could probably offer up a design Iade for myself so I could put something on the end of my invader V2.

Sorry for the bad pic, lighting isn't too great.

As someone with no 3d printing experience, but a lot of firearm experience, I'm surprised that PLA holds up as a comp.

It's one thing to have a printed frame of course, but comps are right past the barrel and get the worst of gas and heat (by design). Hell, I have a very heavy comp on my HK P2000, and it gets absolutely scorched.

Reverse experience and I am also surprised. Seems like the worst material for almost anything around a gun
