[New Files!] The Z-6 Rotary Cannon is here!

Added 2025-06-20 15:00:16 +0000 UTC

Added to the already stellar June Specialist rewards, these files are some of the best work we've done here at Galactic Armory! Be sure to watch for our build video releasing tomorrow!

It's been a dream of mine for years now to design a functional Z-6 rotary cannon and thanks to the work of those much smarter than myself, we have it! It includes working lights, sounds, and spin - with the lights timed to individually go off at the proper position and timing. We've collected everything you need to make it yourself, sourcing all the parts from easily accessible places, while on a budget.

The files include:
- Both Functional and Static versions, separated into 47 and 36 parts respectively
- PDF Tutorial Build Guide
- Parts Shopping List
- Wiring Diagrams
- Arduino Code
- Sound Clips
- Fusion360 file - in case you need to edit anything!
- Bambu Studio Project Files
This build is being ranked 5 out of 5 difficulty due to its requirement using an electrical diagram, extensive soldering, tight tolerances, and general mechanical knowledge base

I'm incredibly proud of how the team put this all together and I hope that comes across in the files! This has been something I've wanted to make since back in the Big Baby days and I'm so happy with how it's come out.

Hope you all enjoy! Build video out tomorrow!
