Russian S-60 57mm Autocannon Shells

UPDATE: 30-3-24 (added HE projectile by request)
UPDATE: 12-4-24 (improved STL quality)

Full size imitation of the Soviet/Russian 57x347mm shell used in the 57mm AZP S-60 autocannon against aircraft, helicopters and ground targets. Many countries in the Warsaw Pact used these as well as allies or clients of the USSR or Russian Federation. They've seen a resurgence on both sides in the Russo-Ukrainian war, providing powerful fire support for infantry.

Comes with choice of two projectiles:

• UBR-281U armour-piercing projectile

• OR-281U HE projectile.

All the correct detail is present, including primer, imitation crimps, driving band and knurled fuze cap on the HE projectile (if you don't want the primer, there are optional files to print the cartridge with a solid base instead).

Prints in four major parts + printable hex rods to align and secure all pieces together (test fit, then add glue for permanent strength).

I have supplied the case as pre-split STL's with holes for the hex rod that joins them, but there is also a third STL for the complete case in case you have a very large printer or want to slice it yourself.

Approx. complete dimensions: 532mm (20.95") height and 96mm (3.75") max diameter.

Great for a modern Russian or Soviet/Warsaw Pact themed collection.

(Note: This is a cosmetic imitation only, it cannot function or be made to function as a real device. I am not responsible for any mis-use of the printed items. The renders showing paint colours and markings are for
illustration purposes only.)

Minimum 185mm Z-height print space required!

0.20mm layers and reduced infill advised to speed up printing time. If you have a slicer that supports advanced settings, I would recommend using the smallest layers possible for the top of the HE projectile with the knurled cap.

All parts pre-oriented in best printing position.

Supports may be required for the lower case STL as there's a small overhang in the recess of the base - depends on how your particular printer will handle it. The other parts do not require supports.
