3D Printed upload - Circular Astromech skirt - Prusa

Just uploaded the circular 3D printable astromech skirt

that I created from the awesome artwork of Mr Jake Lunt Davis (click for his website).

His creations for new astromech droids, had lots of new interpretations from the standard R2 design, without being unrecognisable from the originals.

Check them out over on the Wookieepedia page.

My surprise find those was a behind the scenes picture of R5-SK1 in the hanger bay on Yavin (scroll down the page to view).

CAD Designing a prop - Andor [season 2] micro-prop 4

I recently got asked if I could produce a CAD model for 3D printing of a drinking vessel / flask shown in the Andor-zine.

Did a search online for sizes and this came back with sizes based on the fluid oz each one can hold. Not knowing this I went with dimensions that best matched the square'ish image above.

I then did a quick test print, including a cap and catch arm.

As you can see, this wasn't the best orientation lol, a vertical one would be better suited to the front detail, but this was the main item requested. The catch arm is pivoted and I drew this up as a separate part to be glued on at the position that best suited being able to lift off the cap.

I needed to do a few more alterations for myself to be happy before sharing the files, see link below.

Here's the link to the post over on the RPF Forum, to follow for updates.

The files are up on my Pruse account here. I've included the stp files as well.
