Cry 'Havoc!', and let slip the dogs of war
Added 2018-07-13 16:58:44 +0000 UTCThis week, we've got four engines of war!
The first is a simple two-man regular 'ol ladder. The ladder comes in a pre-made size but can be made longer by printing modular sections.
The second is a rolling ladder platform, that troops push up to the wall then can swing the ladder up for ascent. This one has rolling wheels designed to be attached with filament rivets (cut filament to length, insert, melt end with lighter and press it flat). Like the other ladder, this one is available in a fixed size or modular sizing.
The third is a standard cannon, a derivative of the one Devon created for the Forest of Oakenspire Kickstarter. Evan modified the design slightly, added some wheels, and sliced it to print in two pieces with no supports.
The fourth Evan has fondly nicknamed "the Thumper". It's a horse/donkey drawn unit that packs a heck of a punch. Just remember to unhitch the horse before firing! Note that the Thumper is quite large (as seen in the pics) - you can scale it down to ~85% or so if you want a smaller, more realistic portable sized cannon/mortar. This prints in 2 pieces with no supports as well.
Grab the ladders and cannons on Thingiverse and let us know what you think in the comments!
