Artillery/AA Emplacement

thingiverse

<h3>Description</h3> This design showcases three different artillery/anti-aircraft guns that share mostly interchangeable parts. Created by me and intended for <a href="https://reddit.com/r/GreenDawn">r/GreenDawn</a>, this fine piece of engineering features ball jointed legs and feet, allowing it to be placed on any terrain and even secured to walls or ceilings with blue tack. <h3>Info about different parts</h3> Included in this Thing are parts to make one artillery gun and two styles of AA guns. The base, legs, and feet are universal between all three models. There is also a jointed variation of the legs that features a "knee" in each one. Attaching legs is optional but recommended for stability. The artillery legs file includes a short artillery barrel, which can be used as an attachment point. Both artillery barrels are technically compatible with the type 1 AA turret, although it may look unusual and point out instead of up. There are two variations of the turret portion of the AA gun that connects on top of the base and rotates. Type 1 has two ball joints, allowing the barrels to connect as separate pieces. The T1-S1 (type 1 style 1) and T1-S2 (type 1 style 2) barrels are both compatible with the type 1 turret. The type 2 turret only has one compatible barrel file, which features style 2 barrels connected together at the attachment point. <h3>Printing Directions</h3> <ul> <li>The base should be printed with a thicker bottom layer, 2mm recommended, to prevent punctures.</li> <li>All turrets should be printed upright with supports. The type 1 AA needs supports everywhere, not just touching the build plate.</li> <li>Supports on legs are completely optional.</li> <li>Supports on barrels are not optional and must be used to maintain muzzle hole integrity.</li> <li>It's recommended to print the feet solid for added stability.</li> <li>Joints should press fit together, smoothing out over time.</li> </ul> <h3>Other Tips</h3> <ul> <li>I highly recommend joining r/GreenDawn to help us protect the planet from the tan menace.</li> <li>These things look really cool when attached to a remote control car.</li> <li>They would likely be even cooler if you could attach them to a drone without crashing.</li> <li>Blue tack is one brand of poster putty, usually used for posters and other decorative items. A colorless brand may be preferred to avoid staining walls and ceilings.</li> <li>If you're bored in quarantine, try hiding an artillery piece behind something and see how long it takes your housemates to notice.</li> <li>Bringing artillery through TSA is not recommended.</li> </ul> Made in Tinkercad using algebra 2.
