Pirate3D Design Competition
Blakely 500 lb cannon found in Real Felipe Fort in Callao, Peru, named "People´s cannon" because the people of Callao armed it in a full day and night. The design doesn't include rails and was made with a rough draft, not a blueprint, so I had to take some licenses and compare it to real pictures.
This is my first work for a 3D printer, I hope you find it interesting.
Please read the instructions on How To.
Instructions: The model has been split into a few STLs for printing purposes and needs to be armed: The barrel is separated in two pieces. The back of the barrel must be glued to the front of the barrel in the flat sides on both models. The back barrel has two indentations on a side of the "tail". The indentations must look downwards so the crank side bar fits on the indentations. The crank goes on the back, at the right side of the cannon´s tail. Its small horizontal bar at the middle must fit on the indentation. The crane goes to the left side of the cannon, on top of a vertical cylinder. The steering wheels go on both sides of the cannon, glued to the circular extrusion on the center of each side. The small circular top on each wheel faces outside. Print at 0.2 mm layer height, with 10% infill. This uses 28 g of filament and takes 166 minutes.
