New Stickers - R5-D4 for 2026...... pt2

Should have waited before posting up in pt1, but hay ho 😂. New stickers have arrived….

These will go on my Etsy shop in the New Year.

New Stickers - R5-D4 for 2026......pt1

Had a question asked if these were still available.....?

I discontinued selling these, along with the matching patch a few years back, as demand wasn't there and the patches had almost sold out.

I've had other stickers made up for recent events as specials, made smaller these were more for the kids.

I've had a little tinker with the R5 sticker [patch] design and have ordered some of these updated versions. They should be here before Christmas, so I'll see about putting these up on my Etsy page again from January 2026.....

R2-D2 Funko Pop 3D model : Etsy

January 2024

With everything going on I didn’t get round to uploading the file for R2 in his three legged driving mode.

This dome was my own work, free hand design with better, more accurate details than the original Funko modelled R2.

Now you’ll be able to recreate the iconic movie scene with R5 & R2 on the Lars Homestead.

March 2024:

This was the plan, but have decided to close my Etsy shop the end of the month.

**** June 2024 ****

UPDATE:

stl file now available for FREE here.

R5-D4 Funko Pop inspired 3D model

Each week I usually focus on just one particular project.

Recently though, I’ve been working on a few.

• LED’s light strip, see workbench upgrade post, coming soon……
• A ‘vintage car’ glovebox 3D printable, stronger version than the original cardboard one
• And something that I’ve wanted to do since the ‘original’ 3 legged R2-D2 concept Funko Pop came out….. Model R5 as a 3 legged version.

Funko beat me to it with their twin set of R5 & R2 at Celebration Europe earlier this year 2023.

My Pop is stored away, so this version is a modified version of my own R5 that I modelled years ago, for all the R5’s variants Funko haven’t produced, with its own unique angled stance and new 3rd centre leg, with single ankle cylinder, just as the 1977 R5 should be. This is now available for download in my Etsy shop.

The body to leg (shoulder) mounting location was modified to a suitable angle. The leg ends also had to be modified to accept the outer feet. Finally, the centre legs ankle and cylinder had to be modified.

Specifically for individual part printing.

But my first test print was a fully assembled model version, see above Cura printing image.

First test printed really well, though I have made some adjustments to the rear panel gaps, corrected a few other little things.

Next idea was to produce a detail drawing showing the views of the 3D model. I was thinking about uploading these to my Etsy page as an additional downloadable purchase…..

May even do a special offer for the first 5 downloads of the 3D file(s) that the print is  included 👍🏽.

I still haven’t done an R2 style dome yet, but it’s  on my to do list.

I do have the R4 dome as well as the R5 special style dome of R5-PHT from Solo a Star Wars story.

So I’ll make versions of these too......

R5-D4 Patch's via Etsy: soon to be discontinued

 

With limited numbers of R5's patch remaining

& also the level of interest now dropping off,

I've decided to discontinue offering these on

my Etsy page.

I'll be away soon, so the shop will be closed for two weeks, and then re-opened for a week. I will then remove the patch/sticker from my shop.

Just wanted to say a BIG thanks to all those who have purchased these patches, it was a fun design project for me to create them and I hope you have enjoyed, displaying it and or wearing it.

R5-D4 Carbone frozen 3D stl files on Etsy

Above image shows, finished model with additional silver coloured PVA glue for the frozen carbonite

After a long thought process, I've decided to make my models available via my Etsy  page. I don't know how many of the Thingiverse downloads are actual ones or just the bots, sharing the links?? So it's now over on my page.

Link.....Funko Pop R5-D4 in Carbonite

Funko pop R5-D4 astromech in Carbonite!

3D printing in progress....

9hrs 40mins to print.

No supports underneath as didn’t want to waste filament, see below for underside pictures.

And here's the finished

printed R5 in carbonite.

Swapped R5's base plate over to
properly stand this twin, in carbonite

Here’s the 'behind the scenes', underside, showing the unsupported area’s. Not to bad considering, would slowing down to allow more cooling of helped, maybe, but I’ll be drawing up and printing off a back panel to cover this all anyway.

I trimmed off the excess and then used my soldering iron to bond the ends etc.

Picture below is the back panel file I've printed off, I’ve now upload these files to my Thingiverse Etsy page HERE. [these will be available later today].

** A few idea's.....how about translucent print and then after painting, install pulsing red LED's to simulate the de-carbon freezing process.

OR..... simply install micro LED's or fibre optic's into the side control panels, just like in the film! **

Next up is PVA glue and spraying and weathering.....

Just re-sharing link for my R5-D4 patches.

I still have these for sale.

I created these myself as wanted to try design and then own my own R5-D4 patch.

I have sold loads to club members/friends, and once these are all sold there won't be any more, so these are limitied in availability.
