Description

PDF

This is a 25%, or quarter scale model of a set of MG131 machine guns, with mount and feed chutes.  I designed this for a friend, who was building a scale RC FW190.  

 

Most of the parts will print fine without supports, but the mount will require them.  The gun receivers and barrels print in halves, which must be glued together.  Afterward, the guns and feed chutes need to be glued to the mount.  I used superglue, and it worked great.

Depending on how well calibrated your printer is, you may need to scale the dowels up or down slightly to get a good fit.  I designed them with very little clearance, to require almost a press fit.

PrusaSlicers organic supports worked very well on the gun mount.
