Simple Parameterized round turret

thingiverse

Experimenting with OpenSCAD to create a simple turret for miniature gaming. It is very basic, but I think it's a good starting point for some greeblie applications and paint. Parameter variables are hopefully self-explanatory. There are three main sections: The barrel, the turret itself, and a base for the turret to sit on. //barrel $barrel_length is the length of the barrel from x=0 going in X direction. $barrel_diameter_base is the diameter of the barrel at x=0. $barrel_diameter_muzzle is the diameter of the barrel at the far end of the length. $barrel_bore is the diameter of the opening in the barrel (depth of bore will go back until it intersects the turret wall). $shroud_backset is the distance from the end of the barrel to the end of the shroud. $shroud_diameter_base is the diameter of the shroud at x=0. $shroud_diameter_muzzle is the diameter of the shroud at the far end of the length. //turret $turret_height is the height of the main turret body. $turret_diameter_bottom is the diameter of the main turret body at the bottom. $turret_diameter_top is the diameter of the main turret body at the top. $turret_rounding_radius if set greater than 0 will round the corners using this value as a radius. //turret base $turret_base_height is the height of the turret base. $turret_base_diameter_bottom is the diameter of the turret base at the bottom. $turret_base_diameter_top is the diameter of the turret base at the top. While I'm calling this a complete thing, I do plan to build a square one, a version with more barrels (linear, rotary, stacked) and probably a hideously over-complicated combination turret builder with all the options in one file. Maybe with muzzle break options...
