Hello everybody, I've decided to build a droid, the full-size R2-D2 here. This is completely printed, files can be obtained from Thingiverse. The project will take about 2 years The dome, sometimes a top view, I build the R2 with all the tools it carries, such as laser sword, bad motivator, zapper and periscope, later on here are the plates that cover the interior, the zapper extended, the opening mechanism for the dome flaps, the LED logic panels, also called Teeces, one of the movable holoprojectors that are built into the dome, one of the two battery boxes that is mounted on the outer legs, the power line from the battery, the components of the Omniwheels for the metatarsus, 4 mounted here, now 4 are missing, the blue side rollers are printed from TPU, it's like rubber, here the lower part of the body, the little is getting quite big, here to compare the R2 from Sphero, the inner workings of the dome, designed by Matthew Zwarts, can also be found on Thingivers. controlled by an Arduino Mega, and all the tools, control is already working, I'll upload a video later, so that was it from my mega construction site I will be happy to keep you updated. I wish you a nice evening and stay healthy! Greetings Stefan Alle Berichte sowie alle Fotos unterliegen dem Urheberrecht.

Ya know those guys that are SO good, they just make you want to bin everything, and start knitting? Ya. THIS guy is one of those.
Stefan, I’m just going to tell my wife that it’s your fault I’m building a Droid. Peer pressure made me do it.
Fröhliche Weihnachten!

Mark Yes Mark I can only agree, this guy is crazy. I will visit him in Berlin on that day the R2D2 starts marching. Just madness, he does the electronics, just like we cut bread. I already talked to Stefan, when times get better, we wanted to visit you in Reno, perhaps Stefan can do some electronic gimmicks at your house
Merry Christmas to all of you !

Mark Hello Mark, But now you have a very good excuse for your wife there is someone who is even crazier than you are. I also wish you a Merry Christmas and a happy new year.

I wouldn’t know where to start with something like that. That is just insane. I’m struggling programming a board with some sound and lighting effect on. Can’t wait to see this up and running. Mark

Hello everybody, first of all, many thanks for the interest, here are a few videos about the tests of the individual components that I have already finished here the omniwheels, these are built into the metatarsus and can roll sideways without any problems https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SH8kNNu7hi4
One of the tools, the zapper, is driven by 2 servos, an LED is built into the tip, but that only after painting https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OHei5cro1Do
Here how the tools should come out of the dome, here I have adapted the dome to the lower ring, as the tool leaves little room for maneuver. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=swXG0lu2PbA
Here is the video of the inner workings of the dome, here I test the tools controlled by the Arduino by pressing a button, later this is controlled via the app https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XYlNLzD3T5k
I hope you like the videos To be continued I wish you a nice evening and stay healthy. Greetings Stefan Alle Berichte sowie alle Fotos unterliegen dem Urheberrecht.

Hello everybody, here is a little update to the R2, the body is slowly taking shape, here you can see the drive ring for the dome, the metatarsus will be able to extend and retract. So that Wars from this construction site To be continued I wish you all a nice Sunday afternoon and stay healthy. Greetings Stefan Alle Berichte sowie alle Fotos unterliegen dem Urheberrecht.

Hello everybody, Update on my R2 The panel for the back wall is ready, here the lock for the rear wall, Then I started the mechanics for the metatarsus, here the mount for the connecting axis of the outer feet unfortunately the holder for the dome motor has to be renewed, as well as the slip ring holder, but more on that later here the inserted 60mm plastic pipe, fits in with suction here with the left flange plate, if the complete mechanics is mounted, this is the connection to the axes of rotation of the outer feet, this one. Electric windows for the lifting mechanism of the metatarsus, and the base plate on which the motor is mounted, So that Wars again from the R2, I wish you all a nice Sunday and stay healthy Alle Berichte sowie alle Fotos unterliegen dem Urheberrecht.

Hello everybody, the R2 continued, the shaft mounted in the R2, the finished lifting mechanism of the metatarsus, the lifting arm, I am currently waiting for the aluminum rods, which I then have to process and bend, the housing for the mechanics, and here the complete mechanics with limit switch, slip ring holder and servos for the tools of R2 (gripper arm), I had to rework the slip ring holder because I bought a narrower one. The slip ring is there so that the dome of the R2 can rotate 360 degrees endlessly and the cables do not twist, The metatarsus is mounted down here and then slides up and down over 2 tubes. I also started with the shoes, here the left one with the battery case The right drive unit, this is where the 150W e-scooter motor comes in, take a photo of the inside, there is still room the drive unit for one of the outer legs to move it into the driving position and back, and the R2 completely from the outside, The WARS for today To be continued I wish you all a nice Sunday and stay healthy Alle Berichte sowie alle Fotos unterliegen dem Urheberrecht.

WoW! just WoW! My Gast is suitably flabbered! The 3D printing I can get my head around, but I will always be in awe of those that can work out the electronics necessary for a project such as this and who also have the necessary Engineering bent to fix it all together. The way this is coming together, any future Star Wars film would be lucky to have him!

Good Morning all, small update to the R2, Meanwhile I got the sound system, Consists of a Bluetooth amplifier and 2 speakers with a diameter of 10cm, I also printed out the electronics panel, here still pictures of the left drive, Parts of the left leg, here parts of a modified drive, I have decided to print and build this somewhat more up-to-date drive with gears. So, the wars from this construction site. [Wink] To be continued I wish you all a nice Sunday and stay healthy Greetings Stefan Alle Berichte sowie alle Fotos unterliegen dem Urheberrecht.

Moin Moin together, somehow the pictures from my last post are no longer there, hmmm will update them soon, but it went on My receiver for the R2, 14 channels + app control should be enough The legs are also ready so far, here the connection cables for the battery boxes in their raw state, and one thing, what it looks like in the end, the connection to the battery box, The slip ring, connection between the body and the dome, so that the dome can rotate 360 degrees, The bracket for the electronics, with MP3 trigger (sound), the Sabertooth and the syren for the motor control, 2 DC-DC converters, because I need different voltages, the master control unit with WLAN and body control and a fuse block for the individual Current paths are secured and protected So that's it from this construction site To be continued I wish you a nice Monday and stay healthy Alle Berichte sowie alle Fotos unterliegen dem Urheberrecht.

WOW, that`s looking seriously impressive. I don`t understand all the electronic bits, but as long as you do that`s all that counts. My understanding or not, you keep on building and posting as I`m enjoying the experience of following your diary. Regards delboy271155 (Derek) COME BACK GUY FAWKES "YOUR COUNTRY NEEDS YOU"

I see you’ve connected the circuit thingamabob to the thingymajig. Nope, no idea what your doing, but it does look extremely impressive. Looking forward to the day this comes alive....and takes over the world by the looks of things. Mark
