Dashboard copilot: R5-D4 Funko Pop

March 2022
Wanted to do this for a while, but didn’t want to actually cut up a Funko, so I used my original bobble head design and found a suitable spring.

This was the original idea, for him to have screws pass up through the removable grill, but I didn’t want to have holes in it (resale of car). So just behind him in the picture is a removable socket that would be used for an alarm module. I got the dimensions for it and drew up and 3D printed a plug to stick onto the bottom of R5’s base panel. That way he can be plugged in.

R5 has been sat waiting for me to order some red paint lol. He was sprayed white ages ago. Now he’s completed I can now place him in the car 😎👍🏽 
You may notice his antenna is missing…..it broke off, so version two will be coming soon lol.

And here’s a #shorts video on YouTube,
