you are so amazing to be able to make this… It turned out really well. I'm jealous but then again proud of you for knowing how to do it and having the tools… And the skill. Yes Lola is amazing I wish I had it
Wow you did a great job! I hadn’t noticed the gold parts until you had mentioned it. This paint job is so clean. I printed mine today, but had a bit of a failure on the top piece and bottom piece, so now deciding if I want to use more resin (or if I even have enough) to reprint!
What a beautiful job you made of my files, thank you. There are some some internal details included now, you bought quite early but I love what you used too :)
Thank YOU for all of your incredible designs and sharing it with the rest of us so that we can have beautiful droids in our lives. I saw those, they look great! I have a feeling I might be making a couple more of these in custom colours to have around so I’m very much looking forward to using the new parts added.
It depends a lot of the type of resin you use. I mostly use Elegoo’s ABS like resin and yes, it does have a scent but it’s not too overwhelming. There’s also lots of ways you can minimize the smell like small charcoal air purifiers that you can stick in the printer shroud so that the smell is completely contained, etc. It’s definitely a very cool technology and it helps me out a lot with projects.
Thank you! Electronics really aren’t my strong suit but I’d definitely be willing to try making one that had servos in it if someone came up with at least a rough guide as to how to properly do it (I believe someone is actually working on this in the Droid Division FB group)
Thank you! Right now, unfortunately not. I thought I’d filmed a lot more than I did about it but I obviously got caught up with figuring everything out and filming took a bit of a back seat. I am highly considering making a couple more custom ones and I was going to make sure that that video would include any of the parts that I accidentally skimmed over in this, like the LED setup, antenna, etc. It really isn’t that complex of a setup; I bought some double coin battery holder packs that I then just soldered onto a couple of 5mm LED lights in a circuit.
@@MMsPropShop Sorry, I have 3 questions. What brand of Filament do you recommend? What brand of paint do you use with your air brush and is it water based? When do you know to use Resin instead of Filament?
It really depends on what you can get. I know that I’m somewhat limited in terms of options here in Canada so I’d recommend looking at reviews for different types that are available to you and go from there. Mostly I’m mixing up various acrylic craft paint with airbrush medium so yes, it’s water based. Typically I decide to use resin over filament when something has EXTREME detail that a FDM printer will never be able to print or when I don’t want to have to deal with all of the sanding and post processing on a piece lol. But really for me resin is all about clean details so any piece that has a lot of intricate detail I’d try to resin print.
Thank you! For primer it’s the Badger Air-Brush Stynylrez in the various colours. Paint is a mix of a bunch of different types; tamiya for the silver metallics, acrylic ink for anything else, and then it’s mostly various craft paint diluted with airbrush medium.
Yes! The battery pack is super easily accessible in the back and I also didn’t actually glue it down so if I needed to take it out to replace them that’s an option as well.
Yes, I used a bit of green stuff to fill in the drainage holes. It hardens up pretty well and can be sanded for a smooth finish. I also tend to add a bit more UV resin over it as well to assist with the smoothing.
This one was at 100% scale. I believe it was oriented on a slight angle across the build plate (corner to corner). I printed a couple of others at around 80% just because it seemed like a more accurate scale which were even easier to fit on the printer.
hello! I've seen your video and you've impressed me a lot... I've tried to do it in a sculptural way because I don't have a 3D printer and I would like to know clearly it's just a question, if you can sell it to me haha I love it !!!.. But obviously it's just a question if you can or not nice day bye :3
Thank you! The silver/gunmetal colours were Tamiya, the gold was Dr PH Martens acrylic ink and the metallic colours that I mixed into the main body paint were craftsmart matte metallic paints.
A tip for making masking lines straighter would be to paint over the seam between the tape and resin (or plastic) with the original colour, then use the second colour.
Resin printing looks good but i hate all the cleaning and safety like gloves and masks that has to be used, But cant a Filament 3d printer print the same results?
I get it. It seems like a lot of added work but I always think of it as ‘I can either spend time cleaning pieces up or 5x that time and effort to get the pieces looking maybe as smooth’. It really depends on what you’re printing. There are some models with such fine detail that the only way you going to be able to get that on your print is with a resin printer. Even with this particular project some of the detail might have been lost due to all of the post processing necessary to make the pieces as smooth as they’d ideally should be.
They both work so differently from each other that I’d say either one would be a valid option depending on what you’re interested in printing. I had FDM printers for years before I got my first resin printer and I don’t think the added experience with FDM gave me any advantage with learning how resin printing worked.
Bambu is pretty amazing. I bought the P1S just for the droid builder files. Note that I have a Photon M3 resin but Resin isn't as precise for fitting models together and FDM has PETG and PLA+ options for longer lasting harder plastic.
I paint miniatures and that metallic medium (which I'm assuming you used) is a revelation you can apply shadows and highlights with metallic paint which you could never do before
Lola looks fantastic, such a great watch.
Thanks!
Your droid looks great! I love the weathering details you put in, as well as the lighting. That was really fun to watch, thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much!
Nice droid model look very cool👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼💯
This looks great. Job very well done.
I hope you enjoy seeing the process of building the newest addition to my droid family! Thanks for watching!
you are so amazing to be able to make this… It turned out really well. I'm jealous but then again proud of you for knowing how to do it and having the tools… And the skill. Yes Lola is amazing I wish I had it
Your work is very professional and constructive, very beautiful works and very impressive and educational! Respect!👍🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀Good luck!
the lola droid made me think of the movie “batteries not included” from 1987
Really great.
Awesome! well done! Im glad someone did a 3d printed one!
WOw you are SUPER TALENTED / Looks better then two store ones I have. WAY Way BETTER!!!! 💯 ✔️✅👏
Excellent
Looks totally awesome!
Very cool! I’ve started one but plan on a custom color scheme - not sure what that’ll be yet. Mine is fdm, so lots of filling and sanding to do first.
Wow you did a great job! I hadn’t noticed the gold parts until you had mentioned it. This paint job is so clean. I printed mine today, but had a bit of a failure on the top piece and bottom piece, so now deciding if I want to use more resin (or if I even have enough) to reprint!
Thank you! Oh no! Print failures are the worst 😩
You are super talented!!
Wow cool factor 100%😎 looks amazing 🤩
Fantastic job!
Gr8 Job!

This is sick! I hope your channel gets a lot more views. Quality content.
Really cool!
Dang very entertaining. I love seeing you do this stuff. Great video 😊
Thank you!
Wow that's awesome❤
wow, that is a very nice build !! i build some droids and robots myself and i really like yours. It is beautiful
Wow, awesome job….
Wow so beautiful, I am yet to try resin, but scared if it smells etc, but wow looks beautiful, well done

Wow this is such a great quality video how do you only have 400 subscribers
That was amazing! You really made it look just like the one in the show!
Thank you!
Looks fantastic 👏 it's crazy that you don't have more subscribers... All your projects are top notch.
Thanks so much!
Great video ! Best build I’ve seen yet !! You should make a male counterpart , Lo-La’s brother in blue metallic colors !
Thank you! That colour scheme would be right up my alley!
Beautiful work. Have you thought about making another one with arduino controlled wing servos?
Thank you! Electronics really aren’t my strong suit but I’d definitely be willing to try making one that had servos in it if someone came up with at least a rough guide as to how to properly do it (I believe someone is actually working on this in the Droid Division FB group)
Absolutely incredible!! Great job!! Do you happen to have a video on making the battery pack with lights by chance? Keep up the great work!!
Thank you! Right now, unfortunately not. I thought I’d filmed a lot more than I did about it but I obviously got caught up with figuring everything out and filming took a bit of a back seat.

Awesome work! Are your modifications for the accomodation of the battery box available as an STL? I'd love to use them when I make mine!
Have you ever done anything from the movie Black Hole?
Awesome job - makes me pine for a 3D printer!!! May I ask, did you build in a way to replace the batteries?
Yes! The battery pack is super easily accessible in the back and I also didn’t actually glue it down so if I needed to take it out to replace them that’s an option as well.
Where did you get that handheld up curing light?
Super cute!!
Can I ask what that program was you used to make the base?
Fusion 360
W was the "green stuff" clay? Does it harden?
Yes, I used a bit of green stuff to fill in the drainage holes. It hardens up pretty well and can be sanded for a smooth finish. I also tend to add a bit more UV resin over it as well to assist with the smoothing.
what scale did you print the Lola on to fit on a mars 2 pro
This one was at 100% scale. I believe it was oriented on a slight angle across the build plate (corner to corner). I printed a couple of others at around 80% just because it seemed like a more accurate scale which were even easier to fit on the printer.
I've been thinking about doing a project but it would have to be very low weight. How much does this Lola droid weight?
What modelling program is this? Great Job!
For the internal parts and base? Fusion360

Good. It s possible have stl? Free or paying?
The link to it is in the description box.

Remind me of flubber with robin willam
No mini drone to make if fly😪
I paint miniatures and that metallic medium (which I'm assuming you used) is a revelation you can apply shadows and highlights with metallic paint which you could never do before
I completely forgot that metallic/iridescent medium existed 🤦🏻♀️ would have been way more convenient, haha!
Should we mention that being a droid the entire body is technically made of metal?
