Been a while since I updated. I had been running pretty full tilt on printing R2’s body. When I finally stacked everything together I realized I am further ahead then I thought. Still a TON of sanding to do and the legs will be long prints but if I buckle down I might still hit
I’ve ordered all of the electronics I need, just waiting for the foot motors to arrive. I’m thankful for the Amazon gift cards I got from Christmas and my Birthday.

One of my more ambitious projects I’m starting this year is a full size R2-D2. After I got my 3D printer I started looking at all the Star Wars props I could make. It’s amazing the things people 3d model and share for free. At the top of that list were files for a full
