R5-PHT Funko Pop 3D model - FREE stl file

 Here is the 3D model for R5-PHT.

The original droid was seen in Solo a Star Wars Story.

It also made into the Droid Factory toy set, from the same film.

As Funko didn't produce ALL the astromechs as two legged versions, I decided to create my own, and then produced it as a three legged version.

This R5 has the extra holoprojector that was intended to be used in the film, to show Han Solo the join up and see the galaxy holo video.

This is the link to my 3 legged version of the Funko.

Image is from the two legged version I created

Planet Savareen - Solo a Star Wars Story on location

Recent holiday to Fuerteventura in the Canary Islands, unfortunately I wasn’t able to visit the exact spot for where the filming of Savareen, took place for Solo a Star Wars story….

Above photo taken from Savareen link 👍🏽

Above image shows location area of filming 

….but was on the island, so close enough and whilst wearing my Solo t-shirt lol.

R5-232 didn’t make it that far during filming lol, thought it would be nice to say I’d been there though.

Solo - A Star Wars Story - Cinema posters

Whilst at Optimus the other week, just before we left, I spotted a stall selling off cinema posters, I thought I'd have a quick look, just on the off chance of any Star Wars ones....

Picked up one The Last Jedi, whic was just the logo, bit basic, but hay.

The other three tho were the UK version's of Solo!

Just need to find a frame for it next.

Birthday Wishes to my Son

Today marks my Sons 14th Birthday.

He's still as excited about R5 and his adventures as he was when he first asked me 'can you make an R5 Daddy!?!?!' all those years ago.

This is one of the most memorable pictures taken back in 2016 at Celebration Europe. It's an old one, but it checks out!' lol

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SON!

Solo - Odeon cinema card 3D printed display stand

I had a spare Solo card from the recent Milton Keynes event, so took it into work for my desk area. This got me thinking, why not 3D print a stand for it??

Then a fellow builder had been going to see Solo multiple times and had been asked to pick up the card set for other members lol. So I thought, why not make a stand to hold all four cards.

So I drew up a simple display stand in AutoCAD Inventor. Unfortunately my works 3D printer bed is too small to print as one piece, so I had to cut it up into two. Which they then snapped together, for a perfect fit.

Here's the first piece with two cards slotted in place.

They are a nice snug fit, not loose, but also not to tight that you have to force them in. There was a bit of lifting off the bed on this first print.

Here's an above view.

Then it was on with printing the second side.

The simple, copy and save as second side lol. They snap together perfectly, more luck than expert engineering tho :D

And here are the tow pieces clicked together with just the one card, forgot to bring in the others to work.

I kept the one piece version as well,
so will be posting up both onto my
Thingiverse
account if anyone wants to display their cards. Thanks for viewing.
