Imperial Troop Transport Cannons

thingiverse

If you have this Kenner Imperial Troop Transport from 1979, it probably has a broken cannon or at least a bent cannon if it even still has the cannons.. Here's a replacement I modeled from scratch to emulate the original design but with improvements. It has a larger shaft and some strengthening fins to prevent future breakage. I printed this on it's back (guns pointing up) with supports touching buildplate. 0.12 layer height looks great, but 0.20 is more than passable. I use a brim of 3mm to keep it from popping off the buildplate or curling from cooling since it's pretty small. It should just snap into place in the original turret. If your turret is old and the 'locking tabs' in the dome are worn out and the cannons are just flopping around, try printing a new one from here: Imperial Troop Transport Turret Gear - https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5868446
