Mike’s been busy these last few weeks (September 2022) building a static two legged Astromech for an upcoming display. He re-purposed one of his R2 domes for this project, used foot shells he hadn’t used, then made up a frame, legs, battery boxes out of wood. 3D printed details and then assembled everything together. Once painted it was time to REALLY weather him. He asked me if I could make some lights up, nothing perfect, just something to blink as this droid needs ‘fixing’. So I 3D printed off some of my own FLD (holed) units and got to soldering up some LED’s. Not bad soldering First set I only added two flashing LED’s as was all I had to hand. Ordered some more and these will go into this and the second set. Mike asked me to make up another motor shaft adaptor for his dome motor cog. This I machined out of Brass.
Lets Make a $20 Droid: Building your own R2d2 style astromech droid can get very expensive very fast and very complex to construct. I challenged myself to come up with a way to construct an astromech style droid that is both relatively cheap to build and you do not hav…

Célèbre production de la firme Industrial Automaton, le droïde astromech R2 fut le copilote de nombreux pilotes de X-Wing. R2-D2 devint même l'un des compagnons de route du Jedi Luke Skywalker.
The R3-series astromech droid was an astromech model developed and sold by the droidmaker Industrial Automaton (IA). The R3 came at the heels of IA's blockbuster launch of the R2-series astromech droid as the company rushed to capitalize on their new dominance of the maintenance and repair droid market. The R3's designers copied the R2's general aesthetic, including the bright, contrasting color trim on a white metal chassis. The obvious difference in the factory unit was its head: the R2's opaq

R2D2 - Dark Roast Edition: This instructable is finally complete with the now missing steps. The Dome and torso section coverage were a little sketchy the first time around as one of my SD cards went missing. It was since found when tearing out some floor molding in the kit…

Last years Xmas 2018 event was again hosted by Sam, making all the arrangements for the venue and assisted by early birds helping set things up. The event was live streamed for club members on FaceBook page. Link to some of the photos taken on the day, viewable on the club’s Facebook page: Fellow Bristolian Paul, offered to drive us up in his Transporter. So once loaded up, we set off on up to London way. Early arrivals had helped set up the test track (link to video posted up by Jedi News UK), that was seen at the 1st UK R2 Builders Weekend last year. There were quite a few droids in attendance as well as two stall's selling Star Wars related items. One of these was Amanda, with her amazing art work! Awardart (click for link). On with the photos..... This is the time trial test track. Purly for fun...although yes, it did get compettative lol If you've not clicked on the video link above. There are two sections of the course to complete. Each section has pressure pads which light up Green for a successful centre pad press or red for a fail. You then had to negotiate the course, not hitting the wrong sensor arms. The course returns back to the middle, under the clock timer, before carrying on to the second part of the course. The clock stops when you hit the last sensor arm. Oooooh what has Santa brought us lol. Well, on the far table was some of Michael Baddeley 3D printed work. He also did a presentation on the cad software he uses and demonstrated his work. If your into 3D stuff then check out his work at this link Mr Baddeley @ patreon.com . My table full of stuff, R0-D4 dome, R4-D4 dome, R5-D4 dome and body Ian's droid As part of the club's insurance, we carry out MOT inspections on the droids so that they are 'safe' for event's. This covers structual, sharp edges, electrical & transmitter fail safe operation. As part of the MOT crew, a few of these were carried out on the day, including WIP's & renewals. The benefits also extend to more 'interesting' oppertunities! Alden Ehrenreich popped in to say 'Hi' as he's an old friend don't you know.... lol. ......no it's not a cardboard cutout....it's really him!!! :D aaaaah forgot I'd posted this picture as well :D Just like old times...... ~~~~~ There was a special presentation of a charity cheque presented to fellow club member Mr Yates for the Menengitis Now. And finally there was the usual group photo. Half of the attending members were heading out for a booked meal afterwards, but myself & Paul had to head off. Another great day spent with a great bunch of people! Looking forward to the next event. Details coming soon.......
