Nice piece of work, Ken. Just how big is the model? What kind of 3D printer do you have?

Thanks.

The model is 1/4 scale, so each gun is about 12 inches long.

My printer is a Voron 2.4 than I just built a couple months ago. Check out Mika's thread "Voron 2.4 building", in the 3d printing subforum. I posted a couple pics there back when I was building the printer.

I've owned and used a Flashforge Creator Pro for five years, and it has been a good, reliable and easy to use printer, but just makes projects like this way too hard, since the part has to be printed in so many peices, then glued together.

The Voron 2.4 is a hot rod. It was a very, very challenging build, but worth the effort.

I started a thread on Hobby Machinist when i started the Voron build. There were three of us that started building them, and so far I think i'm the only one who is finished. It's up to about 40 pages, but covers pretty much the woes, hiccups and headscratchers, from the beginning.


The Linux stuff sucked. That was like learning a new language, trying to get all the software working.

Luckily, between Hobby Machinist, Voron Discord and TeamFDM, I was able to figure it out.
