  • My R5-D4 Astromech Droid is done! It took me just over a year to finish this build.
    Big thanks to Mr. Baddeley for the 3D designs I used for my dome, gripper arm, interface arm, and feet models. And thanks to Douglas Bickert for the zapper inspiration!
    Body is a wooden "Senna" style frame and legs with aluminum skins. Dome is entirely 3D printed. Feet, skirt and the majority of the bits & greeblies are resin and/or fiberglass casts from 3D prints and other mediums.
    Find out how to build your own at Astromech.net!

    R5-D4 has always been my favorite astromech. I’m so glad that Jon Favereau allowed him to shine in the Mandalorian series. You have done an amazing job with your build. Thank you so much for sharing.

    I have zero building skills and thus I come before you and offer my soul as payment to have it. :D This is amazing. I am one of those people that loves obscure characters - and R5 is one of the major ones that I've always loved! (I always use him in Star Wars RPGs, stories, etc) :-)

      www.kjmagnetics.com/proddetail.asp?prod=D44 - For the smaller stuff (Battery Boxes, Utility Arms)
      www.kjmagnetics.com/search-pn.asp?pg=1&stext=BX021 - To keep all the panels shut (and the motivator panel in!)

    If you could make a painting (or hole) (like those holes that the Astromechs use to hack into ships, cargo, and other droids) that can fit the interference arm, but I think this’ll take a lot of time and work for the unit to actually hack into stuff and turn off or turn on the lights.
