The second half [rear] printed great and didn't require much clean-up. The support did come away for the antenna, but it still printed ok.
half sections together |
The above picture shows the two half's together....no, your eyes are not playing tricks on you lol, the centre line is angled. I thought the dome and body were all lined up on there plan's, but only the dome was. This isn't a problem though as the side dome rods help hide the join.....plus once painted etc. And the body join line will be hidden once the legs are attached.
And here is the almost finished model. Not glued, just propped up together.
Funko R5-D4 Astromech [3D printed] |
I had to get stl versions created for two fellow builders who's droids were not produced by Funko. These will all go up on my Thingiverse page, once they have been printed and checked as OK.
I have also completed the battery box hoses to a more satisfactory (me) standard lol. I forget that once printed, the details that I agonizes over....don't really needed to be worried about.
Battery box hoses |
A morning [5 hours worth] working on another dome not produced by Funko, so a bit or artistic licence has been taken :D. Again the body/dome will be one non-bobble head piece.
It's blue but not R2....??
R6-LE5 dome |
The owner was very pleased and will be printing the full droid version soon.
