What should I avoid when creating *.stl files?
thibaultron replied to Jsk's topic in 3D-Printing and Laser-Cutting.
Most of what I see seems to stem from a insufficient number of supports. Here is an example of one of my typical cannons with supports, in 1/24th scale. What scale are your prints in?

On Ebay, you can save a search, and they will send you an Email when the subject is listed. I wanted a certain model of a railroad station, that had a limited run. It took a couple of years but a kit was finally listed. I paid too much for it, but not an unreasonable amount.

The siding looks great, don';t hide it under paint! By the way say "Hi" to your neighbor for me! -
Yes, thank you for all you do for us!

The STL files for the Brown Pattern Canons are available on the NRG web site.
-
The NRG has a collection of 3D STL files of various cannon types and sizes, that can be used for 3D printing.

3D Printing Cannons in Resin

Carronade Files Note: that they were Zipped using PeaZip, some other unzip programs give strange file extensions when used to unzipp the files. Carronade 1796-1815 Graphics.zip Carronade 1796-1815.zip Length Chart Of Full Sized and Scaled Cannons_002 with Carronades.xlsx -
3D Printing Cannons in Resin
thibaultron replied to thibaultron's topic in 3D-Printing and Laser-Cutting.
After I sent the files to the NRG, which they have added to the Resource section, I drew a set of Carronades. They have the files, but have not yet had a chance to add them. So, I'm adding them to the thread, in case someone needs them now. I'm also adding a new spreadsheet that has these added to the data. Here is a graphic of the 42 Pounder. The set includes 12, 18, 24, 32, and 42 Pounders. The STL files include a separate leveling screw. This allows you to adjust the cannon angle. The screws are over-long. They should be cut so a couple of inches sticks out when the cannon is horizontal on the carriage/slide. The screw top should be rounded. This graphic shows a drawing of a similar type, with the length of the screw depicted. Here is a photo of similar cannon. If you look at the right hand edge, you can just see the rounded top of the screw. The next posts will be the files.

Thankfully, in the 4 years of drafting I took (3 in middle school, one in college), I never had to do any of the drawings in ink!

3D Printing Cannons in Resin
thibaultron replied to thibaultron's topic in 3D-Printing and Laser-Cutting.
After reading the NRG link, I see one error. This project would have never been possible without Allan Yedlinsky! He came up with the idea and supplied the original 2D drawings that were the basis of the final 3D drawings. He encouraged me, as the project continued, and acted as a sounding board and reference as I found additional historic details to add to and modify the details. This would never have been possible without his input, and help!- 110 replies

Squadron is being resurrected .......

Yep, blew that one. I also forgot the lower rear boss. Sorry! I've fixed the drawing. Here are the corrected files. Cannonade 9 Pounder with Trunnions Full Size_002_1174_62mm.stl

Based on some upsetting past posts, this is a question. not a criticism. Is a sheet provided with the printed map and book pages, or copies we can download?
-
Yes, it can be done. To prove it I had to draw it, so here it is for everyone. Yes, I'm a terrible speller. Cannonade 9 Pounder with Trunnions Full Size_1174_62mm.stl

Chuck, if you are using LycheeSlicer, you might want to check out the "Raft" type base for the supports. The lip makes it easier to pry the parts off of the build plate.

3D Printing Cannons in Resin

I've updated many of the files in this thread, since they were posted. The NRG is in the process of placing all the cannon STL files in a database, that will be available on their web site, so stay tuned. -

Sylvan Scale Models has several HO and N scale ship and boat kits. https://sylvanscalemodels.com/HO ships new page.htm Most of them are freighters, but some are smaller models. They have a steam tug, a couple unusual small freighters, a lumber freighter, and a very small freighter, as well as a set of "Fish Tugs". The Fish Tugs were small semi-enclosed fishing boats, used on the Great Lakes. in the 1900s.

I double checked my Cannonade drawings and have this also. Similar to what you showed. PM me.
-
I've 3D CADed a similar loop for the Blomefield cannons, so getting one like you showed is doable.
-
Do a search on Ebay, and then save the search. Ebay will send you a notice, if the kit is ever offered again. It took 3 years, but I managed to get a rare HO limited edition model depot/station that way, as well as getting many other OOP items (with much shorter wait times), over the years.
