Mantic Armada Bow/Aft Canon Firing Arc Templates - (Updated: 012/11/23)

UPDATE: (12/11/23)

A lot of prints using the built in tab system work, but can cause other parts of the model to lift. Therefore I have decided to replace them with tabless models because of this. You can still use brims, rafts, Cura corner tabs or tabs plus if you need to.

UPDATE: (01/11/23)

I have upgraded the models to include built in brim supports (where needed). These create not only extra bed adhesion, but also help prevent the model warping at sharp corners. All you need to do is print the model(s), then snip/cut off the corner tabs using a knife, clippers or burr removing tool. There is a 0.4mm stem attached to the corner(s) of the model, which in turn is linked to the circular brim tab (which does not touch the model itself, therefore a full brim is not required, so less filament is used overall with less print failures). I have also changed the shape of the lugs to help it adhere better.

UPDATE: (16/10/23)

I have added a screen grab of my TinkerCad model with parts in a general colour. You can use this as a guide to painting your final print if you wish.

These are Bow/Aft Canon Firing Arc Templates (6 variations) for use with Mantic Games Armada. Other items will come later (As I make them).

There is a Standard Canon, a Standard Canon with Smoke and a Short Canon (2 of each versions with different water effect bases A/B). I have used the word ‘Front’ in the filenames, but these can be used for Bow or Aft. There are also lock in tabs on the bases so you can slide them up against the ship base and it will fit in place.

I have no photos for physical prints yet, as I have run out of filament and will not be getting any until the end of October. I will then print the models and upload them here. This means the models are untested at the moment, so I don't know if they will work as intended until I print them.

I primarily made these for use with their MMF Campaign of 3D printed models, but they are the same scale as the physical shop bought models, so should work with those too.
