Danish cannons for 3D printing

[TJM]

Hi All,

 

Greatly inspired by @thibaultron's efforts to design and share 3D printable STL files for various series and times, I thought I would do the same for the very niche area of Danish Cannons. I am researching this for my own projects, and thought I would share with everyone. I will make occasional updates when I have new designs to share. 

 

 

For this first post, I have found a series of cannons from the period 1720-1750. They are from a Kaddet book and the scans cam be found here: https://www.arkeliet.no/sources/kadett_fm_1700/kadettbok1700t.htm

 

The series is one of the most complete onse I have found and includes: 3 pdr, 4 pdr, 6 pdr, 8 pdr, 12 pdr, 18 pdr, 24 pdr, 36 pdr and 42 pdr cannon designs, sometimes severel versions/lenghts of each.

 

I have started with just one lenght of each as can be seen in the table below.

 

 

Here are the drawings used:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here you can see the files, except for the 42 pounder:

 

 

 

 

And then I have versions with the monogram of King Christian VI, which should be appropriate for the period (though Frederik IV and Fredrik V could also be appropriate).

 

 

 

 

 

You can see some of these (8, 18 and 36 pounders) printed in 1/32 scale in @Beckmann's build log for Tre Kroner.

 

The STL files are in 1:64 scale, but are of course easily re-sizable to any other scale.

 

I will attach the STLs in the next few posts
