Galeon Gun - Desk Battle Edition

Galeon Gun – the miniature galleon cannon ⚓💥
 

Bring the epic spirit of naval battles right to your desk! The Galeon Gun is a 3D model inspired by the cannons of historic galleons, recreated in tabletop size but with an extra twist: it’s not just decorative – it really works!
 

The entire project is fully 3D printable, including the internal spring-loaded mechanism that allows the cannon to launch its ball over 2 meters. No external parts or store-bought components required: just print, assemble, and you’re ready for action.
 

Operation is simple and fun: insert the cannonball, pull back the rear mechanism, and release… boom! A spectacular shot that makes it perfect both as a desk gadget to challenge your colleagues and as a mini-game for kids (always with a bit of supervision 😉).
 

The design evokes the atmosphere of a galleon’s deck, with compact dimensions and an eye-catching look. Easy to print, assemble, and ready to impress, it combines history, playfulness, and maker creativity in one unique project.
