JerryTodd Posted Saturday at 09:02 PM Author #92 Posted Saturday at 09:02 PM So, I've been printing cannons in between other things and have all the 18 pounder tubes I need, but only 15 carriages so far. and half the carronades with their slides.

Jsk Posted Sunday at 03:37 PM #93 Posted Sunday at 03:37 PM Speaking of time, how many hours of printing is that? They look great. --jeff In Process: USS Baltimore 1/200 Card, Skipjack Kathryn 1/72 Card (scratch build) Completed Builds: Slavic (Viking) Longship 1/72 (Falconet), US Revenue Cutter 1/72 Card (Seahorse),
JerryTodd Posted Sunday at 08:55 PM Author #94 Posted Sunday at 08:55 PM (edited) I can fit 5 carriages on the plate, angled at 45° takes about 2:25 hours 8 tubes at 45° are taller and take just over 3 hours. 7 carronade slides take 2:10 hours, and a dozen carronades are a couple of minutes take 1:56. "For those watching at home;" print time is based on layers, so the taller something is, the more layers it will have and the longer it takes (that includes the supports). Otherwise how much in on the plate (the blue box in the pics) has no effect on time; though it obviously effects the amount of resin used. The parts have to be angled to keep the surface area of each layer to a minimum or the wrong side will win in the tug-of-war between the plate/supports and the bottom of the vat.
