DM – R2D2 – Hydro Dome, Laser Cut Domes and Ring – CSL / CSR – DarenMurrer – (New)

2016年3月7日 · In this article I’ll walk you through a very typical R2-D2 build, so that you can get started building one too. We’ll focus on a simple and relatively affordable 3-leg, radio control setup, with dome lights and Bluetooth audio; you can always add functionality later. You just won’t believe how much people will love your Artoo.

I created a 3D model and 2D plans of the dome and the radar eye from original drawings, photographic research and existing club parts. The domes used in film droids vary slightly and the whole story on how I derived these are available in this thread here:

I started on my R2D2 dome that I received from Granite Earth from the R2 Builders Club (Astromech.net). It’s an aluminum spun dome that has a base, an inner and outer dome, and a plate to hold all of the electronics.

R2-D2 Dome Alignment Bullet set of 6. These are threaded 10-32 x .25" diameter, giving you more precise adjustment than 10-24 threads. Drill your dome ring to just slip over the bullets, add a slight chamfer, and these will enable quick and easier alignment and removal of dome. Your current screws may be 10-24, so be sure and check.

There are 3 modules on the R2-D2. The Dome, the body & the legs. They’re compatible. Many people print the MK3 Body, use the V2 Dome and the V2 legs without issues. But please note that within the modules the compatibility is very limited. For example: If you print the V2 Body you’ll have to print the V2 shoulders and center leg support frame also.

Each R2-D2 dome had three rectangular frames filled with shimmering dots of light, generally referred to by fans as “logic displays” or “logic lights.” They’re simply called “fibre optic...

Building a dome can be very hard since it has many pieces and is not perfectly round. Some choose to have one made of aluminum on a parts run and others choose to have it built from a styrene mold. The dome can be very costly with all the parts needed to …
