It's time to add some more finishing touches! The gripper and interface arms! Read More...

Now that the 3D-printing portion of R2 is pretty much complete, it's time to put on some finishing touches. That means doors and lights! Read More...

After 13 months of work, R2 is finally on his feet! I am absolutely thrilled with the results. Every time I walk in the room and look at him, I think to myself, "I can't believe I built that!" I just need to finish the doors and then I can start to work on the electronics and the gripper and interface arms. Read More...

It took six months to complete the dome and the body, but only two months to complete the legs. I thought it would have taken longer, but the weather has been good to me so I've been able to get a lot done over the past few weeks. Read More...

I completed the center foot and the battery boxes. That's a milestone! Read More...

I finally finished the foot drives. It took no shortage of time, materials, and patience! Read More...

With the body and dome complete, it's time to start on the legs and feet. It took a little over two months to print all the parts. It was so much work! 175 pieces in total. Read More...

It took over a month the complete the dome. I still have to mount the holojprojectors, but I will do that later once I print the servo arms. For now, I'm calling it done. Read More...

With winter approaching, I was able to complete all the sanding and painting that I need to do to assemble the body and the dome. R2 is really looking awesome! Read More...

After two months of painting and sanding it's really starting to look like an R2! Read More...

This was the most complicated and stressful glue-up I've ever had to do with 3D printed parts! Read More...

Finally! After well over a month of printing and sanding, I have one piece ready for painting! Read More...

After more than 500 hours of printing, it's really starting to look like an R2! Read More...

I have wanted to built a life-sized, screen-accurate, R2-D2 for years. It's finally happening! Read More...

I found a really nice looking Beskar 3D model online and I thought it would be really cool to print a stack of them. Read More...
