R5’s Bad Motivator 2025

 February 2025.....

Back on it again these last few months, waiting for delivery of different components to get R5’s bad motivator setup all working from one switch off the RC transmitter.

A new receiver paired to use a different channel not used on main body, worked when bench testing, but didn't work when both receivers were powered up. So it's back to the drawing board on this.....

An Adafruit sound board, mini amplifier, voltage regulator and utilising a speaker out of my parts bin lol.

Then 3D printing of brackets to mount these parts.

Then one new momentary servo controlled switch to control the adafruit sound board, and one on/off switch for the ‘Bad Motivator smoke setup’.

R2-D2 FunkoPOP - Jabba's Sail Barge serving drinks tray

 
Started this model after finishing the 3-legged version of R2-D2.

The tray and arms as well as the drinks dispenser arm, all had to be modified for clearance of R2's now angled dome. The design is obviously based on the original/FunkoPOP version.



The tray has recesses for the arms to fit into to be glued. The drinks dispenser, might need some fettling to fit on your R2's dome, but it was designed with a flat surface.

The drinks dispenser has two files, one whole, the second as two half's for flat printing & gluing together.


I've uploaded these files to my Prusa account, so click here, or follow the link:
