Beer Keg Scale Model Standard US Half Barrel 15.5 Gallons

thingiverse

Scale model US 1/2 barrel beer keg, for your diorama needs. This was designed from scratch in Fusion 360, following dimensional specifications of the 15.5 gallon US standard 1/2 barrel keg (23 3/8 inches tall, 16 1/8 to 17 5/32 at swells). When exported to STL, the inches were transposed as millimeters so... "scale" of the STL as it is here is 1:25.4. "Full scale" size would be 591.82mm tall. To convert to 1:10 scale, scale all dimensions in your slicer to 254% (so height = 59.18mm). To convert to 1:12 scale, scale all dimensions up to 212% (so height= 49.32mm) To convert to 1:18 scale, scale all dimensions up to 141% (so height= 32.88mm) Sidewalls of the base and riser were thickened a bit to be a good print when scaled to 1:10 and smaller scales. Overall design intended for 1:10 scale at .20mm resolution, with a .40mm nozzle. At smaller scales, suggest increasing your print resolution to .15 or .10 layer height. The Keg1a.stl is a plain unlabeled keg. Keg2a.stl has a logo engraved in the side. US Standard Keg 2.0.f3d is the Fusion 360 file to see how this was made/do with as you like.
