Summary

This is the 6-pounder field gun of 1841 as it was used in the american civil war.
I tried to model as accurate as possible but some parts had to be slightly changed to make them printable.
I scaled it to about 1:12 so you can use the same wheels as for the "Cannon from Castle of Buedingen" https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2546674

If you prefere to print the wheels in one piece you can take the Remix that was uploaded by "Intrudermax": https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2812424

The drawing below was used as a template:

Additional you need:

  • 3 mm x 190mm shaft from brass for the axle. You can flatten the ends with a hammer. Then drill a 1,5 mm hole.
  • Some nails and needles to fasten the fittings.
  • 3 threaded rods M3 x 40mm to fasten the cheeks
  • 1 threaded rod M3 x 18mm for the elevator
  • 1 threaded rod M3 x 22mm to fasten the stock
  • 4 theaded rods M2 x 10mm with nuts and washers for underneath cheeks
    In case you take metal hexagonal nuts better blacken them by heating and, if possible, file the M3 rectangular.

The two eye plates should be bowed about 45° to outside.
You can do it by warming them in hot water.
