Replica Bunker Fittings

[TomGun]

Hi all, I've just started a company that specialises in replication, designing and 3d printing small objects. some of my first pieces were German bunker fittings as my Dad runs Festung Guernsey so I cut my teeth replicating some bits for him. these are a great alternative for small parts that are required in bulk or single parts that are simply too hard to come by or too expensive to risk permanent display. here is a small selection of pieces I've made, I hope you enjoy.

wauw! 3D printing is one of the things i'm fantasizing alot, but to expensive for me to buy a good one. i draw lots of bunkers in 3D with sketchup which we measure in detail on the terrain, especially German bunkers from the ww1 era in the AOK 4 (Flanders) and AOK 7 (Laon) regions. it must been fantastic to print them sometimes in 3D on scale.

Very nice projects of yours!

Very cool Tom. So these are all intended for plastic 3d printing?

Arthur,
it is Tomgun who has started a company with plastic 3D printed bunker parts.

If you want it is nice to see how things looked like. I think it is not usable in a practical way. I mean a bakelite light switch may look nice but you can better buy one and use it to put on the light.

Yes it’s very rewarding, especially when I see them fitted and they look perfect

Yes I have several printers myself so I print them too

That looks really nice!
As you say, a good solution to use in stead of original rare parts on the more "theft sensitive" places..

Good idea maybe it is possible to share the models here?
To make some kind of 3D library for these parts.

Are these working parts, do the switches work?

Hello,

I agree with Wim.We are several spreading efforts in modeling standard bunker fittings. It's a kind of waste.

[der bunkermann]

In case of light switches.. my own experience is that you DONT want to have working examples in your exhibition rooms/ bunkers..
This can cause dangerous situations in your museum!

Copies of these are still made if you would be considering using working switches.
