76mmx583R Shell (17-pdr)

76mmx583R Shell (17-pdr)

This Shell was used in the M4 Sherman “Easy 8” and Firefly Tank.

It’s not 100% accurate but I think it’s pretty close. It's not meant to be a historically accurate replica, just close.

I thought that if you’re going to have a German 88mm (https://www.printables.com/model/372659-88mm-kwk-36-he-shell ) and an American 75mm (https://www.printables.com/model/388504-75mmx350r-shell ) you have to have an Easy 8 or Firefly 76mm as well.

I’ve created a projectile to fit this Shell using the same drawing.

I used a Brim with most pieces to assist with bed adhesion and a Skirt on the items with big flat bottoms.

Designed in FreeCAD.

Ender 3 v2, JAYO PLA+ Copper Silk (for the casing) and LONENESSL PLA Silver Silk (for the projectile), 0.4mm nozzle, 0.2mm Layer height.
