Swifty, that is sweet! How long to print? Very nice Sir.
If i didn't have 9000 failed prints while i tried to figure out carbon fibre filament, it would be a build time just over 3 hours total
nice work you have done there!!! i'm sorry to ask but do you happen to have the cad file for this one? i would like to print one in bronze filament, but have been looking for this cad precisely.. bit short on time to draw one myself... which was what i was about to start doing after my next restoration project..
bronze would look pretty much like this cannon (i printed this a while ago) and would have a very decent weight for the handle :)

there was a cad file supposed to be on Jim's OSSB site, but it seems to be no longer availale :(
Jim is normally very responsive, i wrote last week so i guess i'm just biting my nails waiting for him to respond, but if you happened t have one i would really appreciate an email with it :)
thanks man!
What did you do for a stand?
Nothing special for the stand, unfortunately didn't have time to print one out.
Been a while since on the brushmakers alcove and to see this design done using both a printer and a machine shop is a treat!
Totally awesome!
I like glossy finish usually but this finish looks good too, also it highlights the fact that it was printed out.. which I think gives a certain novelty appeal.
On another thread it was brought to my attention that a certain "wax" could be used to set the plug into because it can be removed if need be. Maybe a consideration?
Thank you for this, opens up ideas on a method of fabrication of parts at home that I never thought of before.
Very useful!!!
Edit::: Anyone know which thread that was on about using wax or something else that can be removed easier? I can't seem to find it..?
Not exactly 3D printed but same base drawing. Machined on a CNC lathe in aluminium

Wow that's a beauty!
These threads got me thinking... I just watched a video of some companies developing metal 3D printing... CRAZY! Absolutely astonishing.
Way out of my budget and a little scary. Hehehe :)
The robots are coming, hopefully they allow us to continue wet shaving, otherwise I'm not sure I'm gonna like this new world!
:borg:
The metal 3D printing is wild pricing. I have had a couple of prototypes made via 3D Hubs in some type of plastic at 20 microns per layer, and they were great- even down to pretty good, working, threading. I use that process to verify my designs.
