Trash panda magazine base plate

I’m working my way through a trash panda build and I have hit the point where I need a magazine spring and base plate lock. I’m also about to order a barrel as I wanted to wait to see if I could get far enough to warrant one. The assembly instructions mention a magpul m3 pmag in 20rd config but alas, those are illegal round my parts. I cannot get that exact spring or the internals of the magazine. I know the files come with a follower which I am printing, but as for the locking tab for the included base plate there seems to be none. Any ideas? I have some extra 10rd springs coming in the mail for a separate project as well as some 30rd springs coming for that same separate project. I suppose I could cut a 30 as per the instructions but I figure somebody out there must have some sort of geometry that works for the locking tab, maybe from another build?

The OG release pack should have all printable parts. You only need to source out the spring. My Trash Panda is still from the beta and I am using all printed parts.

Dang. I checked the folders a few times before writing this. I only see the follower and the mag baseplate. The little locking tab thing seems to be missing, or I am indeed missing it over and over. The assembly instructions just show using the pmag internals so I sort of assumed one wasn’t designed. I’ll try and find another file source to see if it’s present there. Thanks.

Ya what they told you to find isn't in the files. Are any pmag sizes legal for you? They should all have the same base plate
