How I Designed This

I used the SketchUp program to create this project, but how I got the measurements is actually interesting. You see I used the World of Tanks game engine and made use of the 3D orientation camera to view the model. So what I did was I took a ruler and protractor and measured it off of the screen.

Instructions

Scale following parts at the correct sizes by adjusting the x-axis ONLY and pressing enter after typing the correct size. (Note these are scaled depending on how there oriented in the file B-C_155_58.thing)

B-C_155_58 part 1: 52.20mm
B-C_155_58 part 2: 13.52mm
B-C_155_58 part 3: 11.92mm
B-C_155_58 part 4: 103.38mm
B-C_155_58 part 5: 53.13mm
B-C_155_58 part 6: 53.13mm

IMPORTANT NOTES!!!!
(These are adjustments I found that would give the best results)

When printing for parts 2, 3, 5, and 6 make sure you have Infill Density set at 100% and the resolution set at High. Some of these parts can be really small, thin, fragile, and can extrude stringy filament.
Make sure you have the following turned on or checked
Rafts
-Supports
-Leaky Connections
If you are using a Replicator 2x printer adjust the build plate temperature to 130 degrees
Create metal pins using wire to hold the Gun, Gun mount, and Pistons together and cut the wire short enough to fit inside the Turret.
