R5-2JE astromech: Anniversary

Today, September 5th, back in 2018, I got to work on a little project code named 'TRIXIE'.

Due to change of plans on set, I didn't get to operate R5 that day, but I did get to assist Lee Towersey, and R2, on set, stood opposite the Falcon 😍. Sam P, was eventually the operator of R5 as well as his own droids, a few days later.

Another amazing opportunity (the third one) that I am truly grateful for to of experienced. Being behind the scenes is hard work, but worth it 😊.

#R52JE is named so for three very special reasons 💓💓💓

R5 has appeared in three films (different colour schemes), this being the only time the droids designation suggested was used.

'2J' represents my two eldest children, Jessica & Jacob, and 

'E' for my youngest daughter Evie.

For those interested, R5 has the unique features of his centre leg only having one ankle cylinder, and a restraining bolt! Have a search for images and see if you can find him lol

R6-LE5 Funko Pop 3D model - FREE stl file

Here is the 3D model for R6-LE5.

The original droid was seen in The Rise of Skywalker and was originally created by Sam Prentice of 'The Real Sam Prentice' YouTube fame lol.

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.

The version shown is the painted version of the droid, the stl file is a one piece.

I've added the file to my Prusa account, so check out the link here.
