Description

This is a design for what is technically three different artillery/anti-aircraft guns that have mostly interchangeable parts. Designed for r/GreenDawn by me, built by me, and you best hope, not pointed at you. Hopefully it'll become part of the official shop if we ever get around to making it. This fine piece of engineering has ball jointed legs and feet so that it can be placed on any terrain, and even secured to walls or ceilings with liberal application of blue tack. These artillery and AA guns will keep you safe from the Tans from any angle.

Info about different parts

Included in this Thing are parts to make one artillery and two styles of AA gun. The base, legs, and feet are universal between all three models. There is also a jointed variation of the legs that has a "knee" in each one. Attaching legs is optional but recommended, unless you are attaching your emplacement to a very flat surface. The artillery legs file also includes the short artillery barrel. Both artillery barrels are technically compatible with the type 1 AA turret, but it looks funny and the barrels point out instead of up. There are two variations of the turret portion of the AA gun that connects on top of the base and rotates. Type 1 has two ball joints so that the barrels connect as separate pieces. The T1-S1 (type 1 style 1) and T1-S2 (type 1 style 2) barrels are both compatible with the type 1 turret. The type 2 turret only has one compatible barrel file, which has style 2 barrels connected together at the attachment point so that they always point the same direction. Style 1 is meant to look cool, and style 2 is meant to be more realistic. Most people I asked think style 1 is cooler. Sorry that was so dry, I couldn't think of another appropriately descriptive way to put it, and I didn't want to just leave people to their own devices to figure it out.

Printing Directions

The base should be printed with a thicker bottom layer, 2mm recommended. Otherwise it will have an extremely thin film that is easily punctured to reveal the infill.
All the turrets should be printed upright with supports. The type 1 AA needs supports everywhere, not just touching build plate. The rest only need build plate supports.
Supports on the legs are completely optional.
Supports on barrels are not optional. Build plate only is fine, otherwise it'll fill in the muzzle hole.
It's recommended to print the feet solid.
Joints should press fit together. It'll be a little rough at first but will smooth out in time.

Other Tips

I highly recommend joining r/GreenDawn to help us protect the planet from the tan menace.
These things look really cool if you attach them to the top of a remote control car.
These things would probably look cooler if you can attach them to a drone without crashing.
Blue tack is one brand of poster putty. It's sticky putty usually used for posters and the like. You may want to try a brand that's colorless so that you don't stain your walls and/or ceiling.
If you're bored in quarantine, hide an artillery piece peeking out behind something and see how long it takes your housemates to notice.
Bringing artillery through TSA is not recommended.

Made in Tinkercad. Made using algebra 2. (Who said you wouldn't use it outside of school?) CC license allows you to sell these. I won't charge for licensing, but if you do sell them, please donate so I can keep making these things.
