Made for use in rough mountainous terrain the 12-Pounder Mountain Howitzer was a lighter and more mobile alternative to the standard field pieces. The initial design has a carriage which could be disassembled and packed by horses. However, for use in the plains, a more traditional carriage known as the 1st Pattern Prairie Carriage was also developed, which is the one included with this model.
This model is built part by part as the original pieces were, with as much detail as possible being retained through the process of optimizing for FDM printing. The model is full scale, allowing you to apply whatever scaling factor you want to achieve your desired size. It prints very comfortably on my Bambu Lab P1S at 1:4 scale (25%) with default settings and a .4mm nozzle.
This product listing is for the STL files to print your own model with your own 3D printer.
