Two-part Ankle Detail for R2-D2 Astromech Droid

prusaprinters

<p>R2-D2 has a small, vaguely L shaped detail greeble &nbsp;on the front and back of his ankles. &nbsp;This greeble has a small tab projecting above it, and on most versions of the R2-D2 prop the main part of the greeble is unfinished aluminium (or painted to look like aluminium) while the tab is painted blue.<br><br>There are several files for 3d printing this greeble but they all have the tab and main part as a single model. &nbsp;All I've done here is split the tab off, but with a small plug so that it can be easily fit back into the main part.<br><br>I've only created one version of this two-part greeble. &nbsp;The tabs are identical, &nbsp;but the main part is for the front of the port-side leg and back of the starboard-side leg. &nbsp;You'll want to mirror the main part in your slicer for the port-side back and starboard-side front details.<br><br>I used files created by Mike Baddeley to make this, so it has the guide holes to fit on Mike's 3D printed leg. &nbsp;You can find that leg and really the rest of R2-D2 through Mike's Patreon, here:</p><p><a href="https://www.patreon.com/mrbaddeley">https://www.patreon.com/mrbaddeley</a></p><p>(Avoid the Version 1 Mr.Baddeley droid found on thingiverse! &nbsp;It's his first attempt, has flaws, and is not remotely screen-accurate!)</p><p>Mike's 3d files are based on drawings created for the R2-D2 Builders' Club. &nbsp;Those drawings were made from measurements of actual Lucasfilm props, with the understanding that the information would only be used by builders making their own R2-D2 replicas. &nbsp;These files, therefore, cannot be used for any commercial or for-profit purpose.<br><br>The R2-D2 Builders' Club can be found at: &nbsp;<a href="https://astromech.net">https://astromech.net</a> . &nbsp;These files are perfectly suitable for any type of R2-style droid, and can be easily glued to a wooden, styrene, or aluminium leg.</p>
