Potato Cannon Rounds

thingiverse

These are some unique rounds I've created for shooting out of a potato cannon, using standard 2 and 3 inch PVC pipes. Some of the rounds work exceptionally well, while others did not. I've learned that mass plays a significant role in determining their performance. The lighter items tend to get blown around instead of traveling smoothly through the barrel. Most everything I printed with PLA. A few items I made with Ninjatek, such as the sealing gaskets and nose cone pieces. I aimed to make them easy to print without needing support materials. The rounds themselves do not seal against the barrel. Each round requires a gasket to be applied first, which I've included for each size of barrel. These gaskets are made from Ninjatek material. I've included links to the Fusion designs of these rounds. Feel free to experiment, make adjustments as needed, or ask any questions you may have.
