    Intriguing. The barrel bend is one of the most highly stressed parts on the entire cannon. I wonder how well this will hold up over time. At least the layers are oriented for maximum strength. Definitely worth an acetone vapor bath for hardness.

    This looks like a wonderful item I like the stacking barrel idea.

    just out of curiosity does the files open as a mesh for others? its rather blocky and lots of triangles not sure why fusion opened them that way. perhaps im used to creating files and things being uniform. not a master at fusion so it may be me but not sure. thanks for the input

    Well yeah, the files are in .stl format for 3d printing as-is. If you want the original CAD files for editing, you'll have to ask BigGunJeff. Or you can just reproduce the idea from scratch in Fusion360, it's not that complicated of a part to model.
