This time its a Blue one.
I've found two more reasonably priced on eBay, a Blue Blaster Pulse & a standard Gold.
This R5 is not mine, but the one created for The Mandalorian TV series over in the USA.

R5-2JE astromech: Anniversary
Today, September 5th, back in 2018, I got to work on a little project code named 'TRIXIE'.
Due to change of plans on set, I didn't get to operate R5 that day, but I did get to assist Lee Towersey, and R2, on set, stood opposite the Falcon 😍. Sam P, was eventually the operator of R5 as well as his own droids, a few days later.
Another amazing opportunity (the third one) that I am truly grateful for to of experienced. Being behind the scenes is hard work, but worth it 😊.
#R52JE is named so for three very special reasons 💓💓💓
R5 has appeared in three films (different colour schemes), this being the only time the droids designation suggested was used.
'2J' represents my two eldest children, Jessica & Jacob, and
'E' for my youngest daughter Evie.
For those interested, R5 has the unique features of his centre leg only having one ankle cylinder, and a restraining bolt! Have a search for images and see if you can find him lol

The Mandalorian: R5-D4 trading Card '88'
Managed to bag this bargin on eBay, from a UK seller.
Still on the lookout for the other versions, at a reasonable price, but unfortunately the others are in the USA so postage is an extortionate amount, in relation to the card itself, so will just have to settle for this one for now.

Matt attended by himself with his R2 droid on the Sunday.
They had a great time and it was a busy weekend.
They managed to get some video from the day along with photos, YouTube link here.
Mike got his dome signed by non other than Moff Gideon AKA Giancarlose Esperito!

FunkoPOP Treadwell Droid WED-15 (Version 3C)
So here he is, version 3B, version 3C
As I mentioned in the last post, version 3, had been modified so that the claw end was supported once printed. I also added some other small details, because I wanted to lol , the pincer utility arm was added and more de-find (hence the B now C designation).
So this was version 2 below :
Comparing original Version 1 (left) with Version 2 (right)
Here is the 3D render of version 3C. Picture below.
Didn't get round to painting him, but this is how he would look.
I've uploaded this version to my Prusa page, so check it out.

R5’s bad motivator smoke system PAGE
Just remembered I hadn’t uploaded the page that documents my R5’s bad motivator smoke system.
It has links yo my YouTube channel for the videos on there, including the latest test design.
This was the current setup, before I redesigned the electronics/electrical and motivator activation system.
