Beer Keg Scale Model Standard US Half Barrel 15.5 Gallons

thingiverse

Scale model US 1/2 barrel beer keg, ideal for your diorama needs. This design was created from scratch in Fusion 360, following precise dimensional specifications of the standard 15.5 gallon US 1/2 barrel keg (23 3/8 inches tall, 16 1/8 to 17 5/32 at swells). When exported to STL, the dimensions were converted to millimeters so... "scale" of the STL as it is here is 1:25.4. "Full scale" size would be 591.82mm tall. To convert to 1:10 scale, all dimensions in your slicer should be scaled up by 254% (so height = 59.18mm). To convert to 1:12 scale, scale all dimensions up to 212% (so height= 49.32mm). To convert to 1:18 scale, scale all dimensions up to 141% (so height= 32.88mm). Sidewalls of the base and riser were thickened slightly for better printing at scaled sizes of 1:10 or smaller. The overall design is intended for 1:10 scale at a .20mm resolution, with a .40mm nozzle. At smaller scales, it's suggested to increase your print resolution to .15 or .10 layer height. The Keg1a.stl file contains a plain unlabeled keg. Keg2a.stl features a logo engraved in the side. The US Standard Keg 2.0.f3d is the Fusion 360 file for viewing how this was made or modifying it to suit your needs.
