  • My R5-D4 Astromech Droid is done! It took me just over a year to finish this build.
    Big thanks to Mr. Baddeley for the 3D designs I used for my dome, gripper arm, interface arm, and feet models. And thanks to Douglas Bickert for the zapper inspiration!
    Body is a wooden "Senna" style frame and legs with aluminum skins. Dome is entirely 3D printed. Feet, skirt and the majority of the bits & greeblies are resin and/or fiberglass casts from 3D prints and other mediums.
    Find out how to build your own at Astromech.net!

    If you could make a painting (or hole) (like those holes that the Astromechs use to hack into ships, cargo, and other droids) that can fit the interference arm, but I think this’ll take a lot of time and work for the unit to actually hack into stuff and turn off or turn on the lights.
