FunkoPOP droids by me

For a bit of fun, I assembled all my creations in a line-up 😁

FunkoPOP Droids

These are drawn up my hand [no 3D scanning] and have more detail than the original POP's. They also were drawn up for the versions never produced, (left to right) LE5, PHT, Treadwell and Toolbox.

R5-D4 and R4-D4 (both versions of mine) have the restraining bolts fitted and my screen accurate centre leg [single cylinder].

R5-PHT (second from left) has his unique dome with the extra holoprojector. This droid was seen in Solo a Star Wars Story.

All are in three leg mode which wasn't a 'thing' until Celebration 2023 came along with the R2-D2/R5-D4 twin pack.

All of these are 1:1 POP scale lol and all but Toolbox, have base holes to fit onto the original stands, if required.

Check them all out on my Prusa page, in there FunkoPOP collection folder, free.

....not included in the line-up is R2-D2 with the sail barge drinks try attachment.

......ooops and soome of the droids in Carbonite [like Han Solo] 😀😀😀

3D Printed Upload - Control panel with working dials & buttons

Here's another control panel, which has options to have push button activation and also two rotary dials with stops.

The main centre area has the option of being separate so different panels can be printed and fixed in place. The first one is a 'planetary display screen'. This is a modified version of my other planetary panel [longer], which can be back lit.

I'll add alternative panels to my Prusa account. This along with others is free to download.

New Yavin IV screen uploaded here.

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.
