What is the Glock 17 (FMDA DD17.2) ?
The DD17.2 is a highly regarded 3D-printable Glock 17 Gen 3-compatible frame developed by FMDA (FreeMenDon’tAsk). Developed by the community (notably Ivan the Troll), it’s become the benchmark for DIY Glock builds. Ideal for DIY firearm builders seeking full control over their builds.
“Think of it as the P80 for makers — stronger rear rails, no screw installs, and more frame grip options.”
What You’ll Need (Not Included):
3D printer (recommended: Ender 3 Pro, Bambu Labs P1P)
PLA+ or ABS filament (brands: eSun, Polymaker, Novamaker)
Ivan the Troll’s STL/DD17.2 files (found on trusted 3D firearms communities)
Slicer software (e.g., Cura, PrusaSlicer)
Finishing Tools (220-grit sandpaper, files)
Note: This kit provides all the firearm components needed to complete your frame build; printing materials, printer, and digital files are not included.
Printing & Build Instructions:
1. Preparation
Before printing the FMDA DD17.2 frame, you should ensure that you have all the necessary materials and equipment. Here is a list of what you will need:
3D printer
Filament (preferably ABS)
DD17.2 STL files
Slicer software (e.g. Cura, PrusaSlicer)
Sandpaper (220 grit)
Files (round, flat)
Once you have gathered all the materials and equipment, you should start by ensuring that your 3D printer is properly calibrated. This is important because it will ensure that the final product is accurate and free from any defects. It is also recommended that you print a test object to check the calibration.
2. Post-Printing
After printing the FMDA DD17.2 frame, you will need to perform some post-processing to ensure that the frame is smooth and free from any defects. Here are the steps to follow:
Remove any support structures using pliers or a knife
Sand the rough areas of the frame with sandpaper (220 grit)
Use files to smooth out any remaining rough spots
Test fit the frame with the slide and other components to ensure that they fit properly
If necessary, make any adjustments to the frame using a file or sandpaper
Once you have completed the post-processing, your FMDA DD17.2 frame is ready to be assembled with the slide and other components.
3. Assembly:
Assembling the FMDA DD17.2 3D printed Glock frame is a straightforward process that requires minimal hand fitting of parts. The frame features a stronger, easier to install rear rail system that eliminates the need for screws. The P80-style grip angle of the frame is compatible with Glock/OEM style holsters.
To assemble the frame, you will need the following components:
To begin the assembly process, you will need to install the trigger housing assembly into the frame. This involves inserting the trigger spring and safety plunger into the housing, then sliding it into the frame and securing it in place with the locking block pin.
Next, you will need to install the magazine catch and spring, followed by the slide stop lever and spring. These components should be installed according to the manufacturer’s instructions for your specific lower parts kit.
Once the lower parts kit is installed, you can install the slide assembly onto the frame. This involves aligning the rails on the slide with the rails on the frame, then sliding the assembly onto the frame until it clicks into place.
Finally, you can install the barrel and recoil spring assembly into the slide. This involves inserting the barrel into the slide and securing it in place with the barrel lug, then installing the recoil spring assembly onto the barrel and into the slide.

Compatible with standard Glock 17 holsters (P80-style grip angle)
