R2-D2 3d Printed Budget Build! (Less than $500): Part 2
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 3 ก.ย. 2019
- After getting a good deal on a pile of filament and finding the STL files for a fully 3d printed R2-D2; I decided it was time to make one of my own! Now the real question is; can we print a fully functional R2-D2 and make it for less than $500? Here we are another two weeks or so later and we've made great progress on the 3d printing of the dome and the body. We'll also cover a bit of the initial thoughts on control systems as well.

Nice work, coming along very nicely.
Thanks Mark! It's definitely moving along well for sure. We'll see if I can keep this pace up!
Just got here, love the r2 build..... Part 3 coming soon?
Hope to see this project continued!!
It will be!
@@9142PropsandArmory when???
Planning to do the same next year. Will be following.
Awesome! Hoping to be able to post an update this coming week.
Looks like you made good progress very quickly! Keep up the good work!
Thank you! It's moving along, the printer is doing the heavy lifting for now. I just keep feeding it files and filament.
@@9142PropsandArmory any update on this project?
@@hpladds I will get around to posting up an update on this. Maybe on Wednesday??!! I've filmed part of it, just haven't gotten the rest nailed down.
Just getting into 3d printing with my son. He wanted to go take a class at Joliet Jr College and now were building an Adimlab 3D printer. Love the work.
Thank you Michael! We're almost neighbors! I'm up about an hour or so North of you. Hope he takes one of the classes;
Thisbis awesome! You did a nice job so far can't wait to see more. Let me know if you still the domes I'm making an R2 but the domes themselves run at least $500. I'm trying to find an alternative.
Hey Jon, any chance I will be able to get that C3P0 Head?
any updates?
Then the updates stopped :D
I had Artoo moving under his own power two years ago. Since then, life has kind of gotten in the way.
Is this going to be full scale it’s hard to see in the video
I would like to have a 2 leg r2 but just want it to light up and make the sounds. No movement at all. Would how much that would cost.
You do know the back panels upside down yeah? So did you ever finish your r2?
Any updates? Part 3?
any updates on R2?
Im interested in making this as well. Will pla degrade very much over time in this application?
That really remains to be seen. I wouldn't recommend regular PLA for things like the drives and legs. Mainly because of strength. At a minimum I'd recommend pla+ for the majority and petg for the drives and legs. Hope that helps!
I just purchased a Kobra 2 Max it's 420 x 420 x 500, do you think those pieces will fit on that? I am new to all this! Lol
I printed all parts on a machine with at 300x300 bed, you will be good. The real fun starts when you have one that is 500mm in both x and y and you can print the whole dome in one part. Prints that long aren't for the squeamish though. Being newer to things, the printing of smaller sections will be good for you. You're in for a long and fun ride! Good luck!
Question. How much would just printing the R2 without all the drive assemblies cost? I want to build an R2, but short of driving it around to terrorize the cats, I'd really just want a prop one with the lights, head turns, and such. Maybe rig an Alexa into it
Hey James! If printing it yourself it wouldn't be too hard to keep your material cost to about $150. Do you have your own printer? If not, having someone print one for you would be very expensive. You could print one on a printer that costs only a couple of hundred bucks. The rest of the electronics for head motion, lights and such vary greatly depending on your skill set with electronics. For really awesome info, check out both the 3d printed Droids group linked in the description or the astromech.net forums are awesome as well.
What are you printing with...PLA, PETG, or? And how are you getting it at $9 a roll?
PLA for a majority of everything. Drive components and structural parts(legs, shoulders, etc will be PETG) There was a deal on the Vipon app for Tianese PLA for $9 roll from Amazon. I got 10 of them. My PETG is the Amazon basics stuff. Bought the 5 pack for $52 a while ago, so I'm just over $10 a roll on that.
@@9142PropsandArmory I have 3D printed a BB8 and 2 astromech domes R0 types. I used to only use PLA but I gave up because it warps randomly and your work, all that hard work goes eventually in the trash. I'm now figured out ABS printing and I wish I had made all of my crap in ABS. If you 3D print a droid, its nice for a static prop. It will not last very long if you drive it around.
I have 2 metal droids and when I drive them around for Halloween the amount of shaking that the droids take going across the street causes parts to come off. My friends with 3D and styrene droids have nonstop issues with repairing the feet after any event.
So if you finish that droid in 3D and then say took it to Cars and Coffee to shop the Lamborghini owners. The droid will run maybe 100 yards on assfault and then you'll start seeing parts fall off, and it shaking apart.. Just my 2 cents, great work here on this channel.
Never take a droid to any place with alcohol. Drunks will kick or pour beer on your droid and wreck your shit, all blacked out.
You mentioned that you were printing a version 3 but all I see on Thingiverse is version 2. Did I misunderstand?
Version 3 of the files are listed as part of Michael's Patreon. I will grab a link and put it in the description. There may be a link to his Patreon on the Thingiverse listing as well.

Has this project been abandoned? :( - cant see a part 3 anywhere
No, definitely not abandoned! I've just been very busy with commissioned work and have been heavily involved in 3d printing PPE for medical personnel recently. R2 is mobile now. Update soon!
Anxious to see the next video. Very hard to believe you'll be able to do it for under $500.00. Maybe just the filament, even that will be tough since covid cause all the prices to go up.
What remote is that ?
Hey Hans, here's a link. You can get one on banggood as well

That's bucket list stuff there
Too many irons in the fire, much not finished
Bloodv
Always too much to do.
So did you give up or what?
No, definitely not. It's fully printed and mostly functional now. Just need to do an update video.
@@9142PropsandArmoryplease post a update video.
2 Videos nothing showing build, just more talking, this a build or a Blog ?
Call it whatever you would prefer. Thanks for checking out both of the videos and commenting. I appreciate the feedback.
I like this approach. This is a complicated process that I'm overwhelmed with. I like the overview.
I'm looking forward to the rest.
@@JosephGillen Thanks Joseph, glad that you're finding it helpful. Sometimes you've just got to get going, if you stop and think about all of the questions and things you're not sure of, you can dissuade yourself from getting going. There's an awesome and extremely helpful community building Astromechs who are there to lend and hand.
