Tossedman Posted August 15 Share #301 Posted August 15 Your 3D printing efforts look fantastic Chuck. Looking forward to trying some out. How hard would it be to a loop for the breeching tackle on carronade barrels?

thibaultron Posted August 15 Share #302 Posted August 15 I've 3D CADed a similar loop for the Blomefield cannons, so getting one like you showed is doable. mtaylor, Canute, Archi and 1 other 4 Ron Thibault Shipjack Carrie Price from Pyro kit, with upgraded detailing and history.

Chuck Posted August 15 Author Share #304 Posted August 15 I hope to have them in the future. Ron has sent me an Armstron Fredrick cannon stl he made and I will be printing those very soon. I am very grateful for that. Once those are done maybe another type of cannon or yes even a carronade. And if Ron has other files I would be thrilled to print those too should he want to pass them along. But all this does take time. Slowly but surely. I also have ships wheels ready to go and some other things. So lots of goodies yet to come.

Chuck Posted August 19 Author Share #305 Posted August 19 Here is a test print run of an Armstrong Fredrick which Ron (thibaultron) sent me. Its a lovely cannon and prints very nicely. Ron has posted the stl files for these for everyone to print in our 3D printing forum area. I am very thankful to Ron. I will be selling these in my shop with his permission to anyone who does not wish to go down the 3d printing rabbit hole. These are printed in Gray/black resin. They are hard to photograph but hopefully you can see the royal monogram on the barrels and vent hole. The trunnion pin is also extra long so it will fit any carriage. Just snip off the excess and sand it flat. I know you guys sometime buy barrels to fit the carriages supplied by the kits you are building. Just in case.

Chuck Posted August 20 Author Share #309 Posted August 20 Thank you Ron. I am now updating the guns on my Speedwell Carriages. These are the new 3D printed cannon from the file you created. They look fantastic. The surface quality is better than I could have ever expected. If you have a 3D printer it is well worth the 5 hours to print these. I have an Elegoo Saturn Ultra printer 12K. You guys should take advantage of Ron's hard work and generosity here.

Chuck Posted August 24 Author Share #319 Posted August 24 Yes i do but my supplier is in poland. The owner has switched his factory over to make munitions for Ukraine.

Chuck Posted August 25 Author Share #320 Posted August 25 This week I will be starting to make the darker "Swiss Pear" colored rigging blocks. If this is your preference then watch my store for the next few days as they start to appear. Same low low price as the natural "boxwood" and yes half the price of other after market blocks that quite frankly are not as good in my opinion. These are 5/32" singles and doubles. First batch of these off the printer.

AJohnson Posted August 25 Share #321 Posted August 25 These 3D printed blocks are a revelation Chuck, I can see these rapidly making all “mass” produce wood blocks redundant.

Chuck Posted August 25 Author Share #322 Posted August 25 Thank you…I will certainly be using them on my models and I consider myself a traditionalist. They look that good. They are getting crapped on pretty badly on the SOS forum by the usual bunch though. But I think that has more to do with who actually makes them. They keep deleting any pictures of them that my customers post over there which is kind of funny. But I think as folks use them they will come around.

Interesting to hear that they are editing your posts/pictures over on SoS. I didn't think comparison of products or being critical of products was allowed on SoS! A post of mine back in May 2013 was edited by SoS admins because I made a contrast, ironically, between Syren deadeyes and another company, which I mentioned by name... apparently a no-no. Keep doing what you are doing, Chuck! Being successful! 🏆 I'll be ordering a bunch of these new blocks and deadeyes in due time... Thanks, Chuck!

brunnels Posted August 27 Share #325 Posted August 27 I ordered a complete set of blocks and deadeyes a couple weeks ago for my next model, they are fantastic quality and they really do look quite good, I honestly forget they aren't wood when looking at them. I will probably use these blocks for all my models in the foreseeable future as the price to quality just can't be beat.
