R2D2 Revised

thingiverse

The original model was really cool, but I wanted even more details and I wanted it to be strong enough to hold its own when printed alone, so I tweaked it up a bit.\nIt prints super well and can be scaled down in RepRap to a pretty small size - I printed it as a Star Wars Monopoly piece at .2 scale too, along with the full-sized version and both looked amazing... \nI also ran it through Netfabb Cloud repair just once to make sure the original pieces were perfect.\n\nI finally found some affordable wood filament and decided this model really needed to be printed in wood. While I was doing that, I realized I wanted even more of those missing details (ports, marks, etc.) so I revised the model again. Biggest additions are the antenna on the back of his head. I also added a support structure to the legs which is not original but helps being able to print this smaller and makes it a bit stronger..\nThe pictures are the wood filament printed at .6 scale. It looks even better in person than the pictures show, with all the marks and dust from cleaning up the "stringies" that the wood filament tends to get more than PLA.\nIt's definitely an improvement... \n\n \n \nInstructions\nJust print it as is - 10% infill works perfectly. No special tricks are needed to make it print like a pro!
