Coleman Poultry House Lantern

thingiverse

This is a printable model of a Coleman Poultry House Lantern from the 1920's. This is not a 100% accurate model, I chose to omit many fine details in exchange for easier printing. There are four separate thing files, one which is the entire lantern in one piece, and three that are the model split in to 3 pieces so that less supports are needed. The model was originally designed in inches, using rough measurements to the nearest 1/16th of an inch. It was not scaled down or converted to metric when exported. As a result, you will need to scale the model as slicers are metric based. Keep in mind, if you intend to print this in inches at full size (scaled 2540%) it will be very large, at over 8.5 inches in diameter and 20 inches tall. I do not intend to print it at that size, which is another reason I left out many fine details. Because this is a stationary, non functioning model I chose to print with 10% infill to save on filament. I did use supports as there are several 90 degree overhangs. While I personally choose to print everything with a raft, I am almost certain this could printed straight to the bed with no issues. I would recommend using a program such as Meshmixer to add pockets for glue if you choose to print the separate pieces, though it certainly isn't necessary. Edit 4/29/2020- I have added a "v2" with the small radius cut out in the frame that goes over the filler cap. Edit 5/1/2020- I am currently working on an updated version with changes to the design of the valve to make it more true to life while also maintaining an easy way to remove supports with damaging anything.
