Galaxy Edge: lamp, 3D print

Whilst in the queue for the Rise of the Resistance ride, one of the things I noticed where these cool lamps.

Thought they’d be good to CAD up, so placed a popcorn bucket next to one for scale and took photos.


First version was a one piece model but this wouldn’t be printable even on the Ultimaker S5 (height wise) so would only be printable on very large print machines. Also I wasn’t happy about overhang’s and support material wastage. So I sectioned the model up for easier printing and to achieve better quality resolution on the detail pieces.

This base version was from the original design which included the details.

I didn’t print the sides vertically as shown, but flat.
First a single print, then multiples, once I was happy.

The pieces shown in their print orientation.

The base has recessed lips for the details to attach to.

The side pieces being glued together.


The details (6 top, 6 bottom) glued on.

Checkout JG's remix to add lights to the lamp.

R5-2JE - Droid Factory set from The Rise of Skywalker

 So......over three years later,
I finally get hold of the Droid Factory box set, from

'The Rise of Skywalker'


My previous posts:


Recent holiday [again, overdue due to COVID] to Disney Florida,
to visit Galaxys Edge. The box set wasn't available anymore in the parks, so had to do some shopping online. Found a set for a reasonable price and because it was shipped to our hotel, it wasn't double the purchase price to have it shipped to the UK [not that it could have been] but comparing costs to eBay sellers.

This R5 utilises the same body seen for the R5-232 from
Solo a Star Wars Story.
By this I mean, the restraining bolt fitted.
This is a nice touch to recognise that not ALL droids are the same lol.

It's not on the bodies of the other droids or
on R5-PHT's body from SaSWS.

So now I have a complete set of my R5 seen in the films
[promos, books, trading cards lol]
