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. 

Event Report: Droid Builders UK Christmas meet 2022

The day came (Saturday) and Mike picked me up at 7:30am, for the drive up London way.

This was the first time I hadn’t taken R5, as most people have seen him and wood isn’t what people are into these days 😢, so decided to just take up latest projects. WED-15 build and the new top secret project build 🤫🤫🤫.

YouTube video of the day

can be viewed here.

Unfortunately there were a few unable to attend due to the weather and ill health. Best wishes to them for a speedy recovery.

The usual suspects did make it, Lee, Sam, Giles lol. The eBay sales added to the raffle on the day to raise funds for our good charity cause.

Doug & Mark gave me a hand in helping to sort out a few problems with a droid. All hands to help, all minds figuring out problem solving.

We had droid racing, check out the video, droid builds, maintenance, seeing new work done since last time. We weren’t able to have an after event meal as everywhere was booked, so we had McD’s for lunch 😂👍🏽

Easter Egg Droid: Droid Builders UK 2021

After donating (the money going to the charity CALM) & receiving my downloadable file, I printed off my Egg (cup) droid.

Deciding on a colour scheme had to change as others had beaten me to it lol.

It’s not the best, but it’s not bad..... I’d give it a 7/10 lol.

Lee Towersey - YouTube

 So if you don’t know who Lee Towersey is, get on over to his YouTube channel and check out what’s involved in attending a Tier 2 event.

I’ve mentioned before that here in the UK our droids have to pass an MOT inspection process to be allowed to attend events representing the club and this then includes PLI in case of accidents. All droids that pass are classed as Tier 1, but, if you’re droid meets the requirements, you can apply for a Tier 2 status. This isn’t for everyone as T2 can be a daunting prospect, as this video shows, but to see your work on TV for example, has got to be worth it.

My R5 was cleared for Tier 2 from his induction into the club. I wasn’t aware of it till Colin informed me lol. So keep your eyes open as you never know, you may spot him ;-)

check out Lee’s YouTube channel (& also his website) for more.
