Background
After using the original design by YazidMalek for many years, while printing additional barrels, there were a few aspects of the design that I decided I'd have done differently. I embarked on designing my model from scratch with the various thoughts I had. There are a few options available to print the model on different machines and with different outcomes as explained below.
The model files are as follows:
Barrel-Single: This file is for a single-color barrel that can be printed on most standard FDM printers. The model can be used to make a dual-color barrel with a single-color printer with a pause/filament-change at height option (you can select the layers you wish to change filament at in PrusaSlicer in the preview tab).
Barrel-Ring-Change-At-Height-MMU: This file is the same as Barrel-Ring-Change-At-Height but is intended to be used with an MMU-enabled printer where the color changes are automatic.
Barrel-Ring-Change-Rivet-MMU: This file is intended to be used with an MMU-enabled printer, where the rings are implemented as a color change at specific heights, but the rivets can be printed in separate colors. The main reason for the rings at different heights is to significantly reduce the print time and wipe tower wastage as compared to a complete MMU print.
Barrel-MMU: This file is intended to be used on an MMU-enabled printer, where all the components of the model can be printed as you please.
Print Settings
I mostly print the barrels in PETG and ABS, but PLA would be perfect too. The print settings are just a guideline, you can use any other settings as you please:
Layer Height: 0.3mm,
Walls: 2
Infill: 20%
Supports: None
Additional Info
A Barrel-Single takes around 3hr30min and the Barrel-Ring-Change-Rivet-MMU takes around 4hr45min on my Prusa MK3s, at a layer height of 0.3mm with a 0.4mm nozzle.
If you have any issues or recommendations, please feel free to let me know.
