So, season 2 of The Mandalorian and we get to see R5 again. This time tho he shows us something new......for him and R5 units.
He has his own holoprojector!
I was a little disappointed that the above two images were the only ones able to help, the second image the camera had defocused to focus on the cast. But I guessed what the rest of the projector could look like based on the first picture (above).
Hoping this is a real prop!
So I got to drawing this up. The first design incorporated a lens, and was 3D printed quickly as a test. I used dimensions for the pie hole to act as a size guide. Useful to actually have something to use for scale.
Next, I modified the design to version 2, this had slight changes and also no front lens, the intention, to illuminate an actual ‘lens’.
I added some colour to these images to help with the visual. I also added the rear ‘notched’ ring, tho it might actually be a straight knurl looking at the first picture.
And here is half a print of version 2.
Version 3 update, has had the rear shortened and a few other details altered. This time I also printed both half’s.
I’ve ordered some lenses, so will post again once I’ve progressed a bit further.
I’ve posted threads up on:
