Doom 2016 Gauss Cannon

About this model

This model was designed in FreeCAD - FOSS (Free and Open-Source Software) 3D parametric modeler. Source file is available.

It is not 100% accurate in details, but proportions are true to original. The length is approximately 1.8 meters. Most parts are printed in vase mode. Making this model requires additional materials, such as paints of your choice, primer and putty, sandpaper and files, glue, some sort of top finish. You will need about 6 spools of PLA in total.

Vase mode

This model was designed to take advantage of printing in vase mode. With some testing you can print vase-mode parts in 3x-4x speed.

Translucent parts here are printed in vase mode.

Assembly

The process of gluing parts together, sanding and priming, painting and so on, is difficult for me to describe accurately and easy to understand. I am not even remotely an expert on this so this is just some recommendations on how to assemble the model. Read this first and think how you are going to process it.
