It has been a while since I've posted here so I thought I'd share

It has been a while since I’ve posted here so I thought I’d share my latest printing project. I downloaded thingiverse model 505758, cleaned up the head, and printed it. Here are some progress shots. It is painted but I still need to weather it. The entire battle droid is 3d printed in ABS. Printed on two modified printers. One used to be a Solidoodle 3, the other is a variation of the Taz 4. Total print time was about 200 hours and consumed around 5-6 spools.

Looks great! Did you use filler, then sand to get that surface finish?

I have a tutorial I put together with my process :slight_smile:

@Andrew_Radovich_BadW , I believe I saw your latest solidoodle incarnation at #MRRF this year. The R2D2 is a fine piece. Very well done.

Thanks @ThantiK ​. It is modded even more now. Lol.

Wow!

Does he qualify you for the carpool lane?

I’m amaZed
Wow !!!
Words can’t describe.

@John-Paul_Hopman I think so. I have seen a picture of it in his car, and it fits really well. Maybe add a mask just in case.

Battle droid looks great. Did get excited thinking it was R2D2 though.

And here I am whining about a 4 hour print. :slight_smile:
Great work.

I saw this cced in another group. Could you expand upon the "two modified printers "? Is there any documentation on the modifications? TIA

@Ritchie_Wilson ​, I made the R2 as well but only the details are 3d printed. Which is actually a lot. Lol. 145 pieces to be exact. Lol

@greg_zapiec ​ I’ll try and put some info together

@Andrew_Radovich_BadW nice writeup about the post process!
