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

Calendar - January 2022

This year’s Droid Builders UK calendar introduces Ricardo’s R5-R1 droid.

Ricardo’s dome (head) has the usual R5 ‘eye sensors’ plus the additional ‘Holoprojector’ eye piece, first seen on R5-PHT from ‘Solo a Star Wars story’.

Each month on the calendar will also be a ‘flashback’, this month’s is….

 …..when we attended Legoland back in 2018. This was an amazing weekend spent with great (very hot) weather! The cobblestone style surface is a REAL test of any droid lol😄

*unfortunately the club calendars have now sold out*

Here’s a link to my event report for Legoland 2018

Funko Pop Astromech 3D - more work [R5-PHT]

Just added this comment to my Thingiverse item:

Major UPDATE:
My own design for R5-D4's body with recessed panel and restraining bolt are now drawn up.
[This took ages as I needed to do some modifications to allow the illusion of the legs being the curved face to body look.
R5's head is also now completed! A soft spring would be required. I think I'll also do a small joining collar so the head doesn't require a spring, just to give the spaced impression.

Once I've been able to print these off to test, I'll upload them.

What I haven't said is that Monday, I drew up another R5 head....this time, R5-PHT from Solo a Star Wars Story. This R5, briefly seen in after Han has made it through the gate room scene, has a special Holo projector located just under it's sensor eye. There's a story behind this.....but that's for another time ;)

I also produced another 'standard' body, without the restraining bolt and recessed panel. The body I'll upload once printing confirms it's good.

PsyfoolRulez Customz - Solo - a Star Wars Story

I follow on Instagram & on Facebook 'PsyfoolRulez Customz'.

He does incredible paint jobs on not only droids, but other model kits as well,

like toy blasters, diaramas & helmets etc.

Yesterday he posted up on Facebook, his set of droids he's recreated using

different model kits, these are NOT the Disney Droid Factory set

you can buy from the Disney store as a four pack!

These are all pictures he posted up on his Facebook page.

Solo - 3D printed trading card display

After designing the display for holding the four Solo cards from the Odeon cinema.
(see past post)

I wanted to have a stand to show off, individually, the four Astromech Droid trading cards, with a single Solo card. Three have their own cards, R2-F1P, R2-S8 & R5-PHT.

R2-F1P, R2-S8 & R5-PHT.

There is another astromech seen in the film, but it doesn't have a trading card. The fourth droid (see picture below) are also the droids from the Disney Droid Factory, toy set.

So I used the slot size I had used on the previous stand & then measured up the cards. I display my cards in protective plastic sleeves, so these are the dimensions I used for the trading card slot. The above three droid cards are vertical, the final card, of R5-232, who doesn't have a card like the above, can be seen on base card no.57. This card features an Imperial Stormtrooper, is a horizontal style.

I'll add some paint to the text to make it stand out

This was a test print and it lifted off the bed a bit, but it worked and the cards fitted well.
I then redesigned the slot to fit the vertical cards.

I've added these 3D stl files to my Thingiverse account.
