3D model description
angled adapter for TM hi capa 5.1 gas mag to m4 mags, only tested with PTS EPM1 and EPM1S mags. tested on tested on TM 5.1 gas mags and WE 5.1 hi capa mags. no guarantees for fitment of other mags, I don't have any on hand to try. steep angle for snake players, relatively low profile, and easily accessible and DURABLE mag release. won't break from getting shot once, lol.
doesn't come with the number 13 on it by the way, that's just my team number. comes completely blank
tested and functional, link to video here:

works perfectly, STRONGLY recommend staying under 100psi though, just to be safe. has bb retention, only drops 2 bbs per reload.
picture guide instructions above, writeup below. it's pretty simple.
ANY FAILURE OR DAMAGE CAUSED IS NOT MY FAULT, use the files at your own risk. HPA can be dangerous, take it seriously, go slow, and make sure you print it STRONG and airtight.
3D printing settings
tested in overture pla+, printed at 230C 50mm/s, 0.4 nozzle, 0.2mm layer height, 15walls, 15 top/bottom layers for airtightness in the main body. small parts don't need as many layers. recommended to put supports on highlighted area in image. print SLOW and HOT to ensure airtightness. infill % does not matter, but keep it below 80%. fitment issues should be resolved with some sanding or proper printer tuning.
place all small parts flat side down, ideal orientation in image attached.
assembly instruction pictures attached, writeup at the bottom
PARTS NEEDED:
foster 22-2 fitting (air adapter)
1x 10mm long m3 or 3mm self tapping screw (feedtube screw)
1x 10mm long m2 or 2mm self tapping screw (mag catch screw)
1x spring, 4-5mm OD, 10-15mm long. doesn't matter too much (bbcatch spring)
1x spring, 6mm ID, 8mm OD, about 15mm long. (mag catch spring)
1x 17mm ID x 21mm OD 2mm thickness O ring (can use old Oring from mag baseplate)
optionally, teflon tape to seal up layer lines underneath o ring
silicone oil
TOOLS NEEDED
screwdriver for the screws
soldering iron to heat set the fitting in place
INSTRUCTIONS
take out the long screw under your mag's baseplate. make sure it's empty of gas and bbs first though. instructions for primary adapters or monk adapters on youtube should be the same for this step and the last step.
heat up the foster 22-2 fitting with a soldering iron, then slowly press it into the hole seen. allow it to slowly cool down. this ensures airtightness,
place spring into hole as shown
place the stick looking piece into the rectangular piece. make sure that they're in the correct orientation.
place the 2 pieces into the slot shown, making sure that the curved piece lines up with the hole for the bbs
place feed tube over the bb catch parts, then screw it in. make sure to press on the bb catch, it should spring back into place. you may need to sand a little, depending on your printer's tolerances.
assemble mag release. should be very self explanatory.
slide single stack adapter into mag's bb slot.
wrap a layer of teflon tape on the top of the adapter, then place the Oring over it. teflon tape is optional but highly recommended. helps seal up the layer lines.
take long screw from the baseplate and slide it into the hole seen in the last picture. make sure you have the small o ring on it. oil up both o rings, oil up the inside of the mag shell, then screw it together. DO NOT cross thread it or you'll break your mag. NOTE: you may need to remove the feedtube to gain access to the screw hole, do that if you have to. after that, should be good to go!
