...thereby sending a signal to those of us aware of this method that you are about to need a mag swap.I'm a 28 round guy. I just like it because its easier to positively insert a magazine on a closed bolt. I also load my magazine in an odd configuration with a few rounds from the bottom being tracers as a possible visual clue in a sticky situation that I'm about to run dry.
Thought this thread was about 3D printing...
My AK mags are topped off.
Three boxes = 2 mags. Evenly. What would I do with the other two or four cartridges?

Back into the vault.
I'm just too high tech, I guess, when I read the title of the thread, I was thinking "downloading files to a 3D printer to make magazines." Cool!
But no.
At a lower tech level, I have an AK, does not need downloaded magazines. So no.
To all the people saying that having a fully loaded mag does not wear on the springs, I don't believe you. My father has a Belgium made Browning Hi-Power that was kept with a loaded mag for 30ish years. Low and behold when he got back into firearms and we went to the range, that damn mag misfeed every single round. Other mag worked like a champ. Replaced the spring the mag that was kept loaded, works like a champ now. Thank god a snub nose 38 was his him home gun. Still scary none the less.

It does happen, I have had my EDC, S&W model 59 9mm, loaded since 1979, I take it to the range, and unload my
SD ammo, load my range ammo, and shoot .....
Go home, clean, load SD ammo, and put away, ready for next time .....
not replaced a spring yet ..... and carry it everyday .....
When you get home, do you jack your car up to take pressure off the suspension?To all the people saying that having a fully loaded mag does not wear on the springs, I don't believe you.
