Love this video! Please keep them coming. Would love to see more.

my brother is actually doing this build and is taking him a very long time but this is like the best thing i have ever seen anyone do with a 3d printer and is part of the reason i purchased a printer.I will get around to doing this build someday.Nice job man.

dude thats some great details and work in - hats off to you

Thanks for making a great video. Your R2 looks fantastic.

Thanks for all the detail. About to begin on my own build after completing a few of the minis.

Wow! What an amazing result Kevin. Congratulations!

Awesome make!!!!! Respect for such patience and engineering!!!

I love how simple your electronics set up is.

Hey! this looks amazing! great job!

Absolutely incredible!!

Great, great, great work ! BRAVO !!!

Im so super stoked to start this project just waiting to get my 3D printer

great work!

Great work

Great job! Welcome to the team. :)

Simply awesome. Salute

Great project sir! Projects like this are inspiring me to become an engineer when I graduate highschool next year!

Kevin , great job on the video and an awesome job on R2, so cool makes me want to make one.

awesome build😍😍😍

I have the same problem with the belt,thanks for showing.

So so good. You have done an amazing job. Love to see him fully finished and out.

great job!

This is amazing

This is really impressive, fantastic work. Love all of the electronics and sense of detail. I'm going to keep my eye out for any updates on this project :)

This video was super helpful thanks!

Awesome, thanks for sharing!

NJ!! love it.. love how well you worked this... top noch... building my first now.. thanks for the inspire.

VERY COOL!!!!! I’m actually wanting to do this!

Awesome job!

It's absolutely phenomenal. Thank you for sharing this incredible project. Your way of describing the project build is very articulate and professional. Looking forward to more of your work. You're truly an inspiration.

So true I’m member. He the best. Members are all ways helpful.

That's amazing!

Excellent job! I'm currently building thr split file MK3 version. Watching your video reminds me of how much I have left to do but also how awesome it can be when I get to the point you're at. Keep up the great work!

That is one AWESOME build... I'm just starting out with 3D printing.. Wanting to do an R2D2 and C3PO.. Looks like I have a lot to learn. Thanks for the informative video

I love this. Thanks!!!

Beautiful build! it really takes commitment to build one of these just with the printing time alone.

Bravo! Some day I will start this! Tremendous!!!

Very good video, great job, i begin R2D2 from france

brilliant mate

Amazing 👍

Incredible

That is so clean! Very nice printing. PLA+ wow. "I love to solder" That explains a lot! I hate it myself. There are a lot of mods on Thingiverse you can download to enhance things. Stuff like hiding a plug in port in one of the octogons, stuff for the speakers, those 2 buttons on the dome, there is mod to turn them into power and reset buttons, etc. I too went to the MIII drive, I finished my assembly of those a few months ago. Black undercoat: Yup. "Sanding the tops of the pie pieces at 45 to work:" Nice tip. "Split the power" Michael Baddeley mentioned that several times. Good call. Awesome job!

Dude how do you only have 99 subs, well now you have 100 I just subbed. Great work on the rd2d, I’m thinking about doing one myself.

I wish i had your insight, knowledge and abilities, to allow me to do something as phenomenal as this, absolutely awesome work, i'm thoroughly impressed

That's pretty impressive, considering it's all 3D printed. R2 turned out amazing! Well done!

Amazing, I really love it. Hope I can a smaller version on my Creality 3d V2

amazing

Amazing job Kev!! Wow.. can't put into word how much time and effort you put into this. Just result is worthed and amazing. I found your video cuz I search and was debating if I should build my own. Again.. great job and very inspiring what you accomplish. I'm so gonna build one now. 😁👍💯💯💯

Just started this project, about half way done with the dome. Can't wait too we're you have gotten to!!! Great video and thanks for sharing this job well done 👏

Phenomenal

Well done. This look rough but looks like you got pretty far with it so far. It becomes its own hobby no doubt.

Brother that is an awesome build. Congratulations! I'll buy that r2 off ya! Lol. I'm just in the beginning stage if building r2 using an old empty keg! Lol

Awesome.

You are a god!!!! congratulations...I´m an Electronics Engineer from Mexico...and you work its really amazing!!!! Your hardware selection is the best...

The Force flows very powerful in you !

Woohoo welcome to our eartg, R2 wow but i can't wait for reality with lightsabers and real spaceships of Star Wars

Getting ready to start mine, it’ll be a 2/3 scale but I’m building it the old fashioned way…

I could use R2-D2 as my wingman to score with the ladies. Great stuff.

brill video buddy, love the speaker mount you made, is there any chance of getting the stl for that from you, would help me out no end, keep them coming

wow!

God if I had the money I would buy a 3D printer and build this for sure!

I’ve ordered a 3D printer, obvs I’ll start with small projects like rebel rank badges, then blasters, then helmets. But ultimately I’d like to build an R5.

My god!!! 😮❤❤

Amazing work! Would you mind briefly sharing your painting process? What type of primer, specific colors, and clear coat? 🙏🏼

Outstanding! I have been looking for a chassis to put together a gaming computer in. I am a total noob, but given time I think I could figure it out. Do you think the gears and track pads could handle an additional 15-20lbs? If not I could make it just a stationary case. But wow could you imagine that awesome rig with a gaming computer in it ?? Wow.

Excelente trabajo. Pero no tengo impresora. Vendes las piezas sin pintar??

Wow, amazing work. What 3d printer would you recommend?

R2D2 💖💖💖💖

That's the droid i'm looking for!...

Wow, that's so impressive. Where did you learn all about the mechanics?

Look like you have a good friend! R2 D2 the best friend in the universe of the planet 🌎 Super Cool

It looks so good. Excellent job!! I may have missed it in your explanations of everything, but how much filament was used to print this project?

absolutely amazing, do you sell those electronics as a kit?

Impressive stuff, we've started on ours and I'm excited, just frustrated at how slow the printing is going. :) Two questions, where do I find the proper color codes for the painting? I don't want to try to match the blue by eye... and where do you get the Marcduino boards now?

Awesome. Apart from the time it took, how much money went into this?

How could anyone not like this I want to do a 3d printer of r2 I at this moment don't have a 3d printer this is why I'm want one just to build a life size r2

Hi I also intend to use MarcDuino, which rc control do you use, and does it have cable for iphone? or the app has motion control ?

Kevin would you be at all interested in doing another on commission?

i myself is a help with mr braddely ive got the dome all done printing wise and started on the body but cant find some of the parts like grabe arms and the doors that are on the body any help would be great

what kind of 3d printer is best for making something like that. and what material is R2 made out of

trying to the electronics for my dome is gonna be a nightmare as I have no experience in doing this, just 3d printing ahah. how did u learn to do the electronics

Nice! I’m in process of researching to build one of these, and I also want to 3D print everything but the dome… so this is cool to see. What is your username on the forums?

I got part way through mine and essentially killed my printer. I've got the dome, the body (which is a bit wonky due to poor print quality) and one and a half legs I think. I'm currently trying to build my own printer which has a bigger build area to help with completing the build... but I might end up redoing a lot and I'm even debating learning metal casting and trying to cast some/most/all in aluminium. I also have a plan for making a miniature projector (and using laminar flow technique to create a portable "screen") for the Leia message... but the way I do things this is probably still a few years off. Love the finish you've got on yours... looking really great! Makes me want my printer up and running so I can get back to tinkering.

I really wanna start on this, what’s the average cost to build one ?

Hello, I am currently printing the 2nd main body frame, of the ring that is, I have come to the leg holes in the body, (part 9a,9b,9c) how do these play in the finished kit?

Can u turn this into a rotary fridge

Olá amigo, você vende o kit completo para montagem?.

nice.. but any chnace you got the files for the geats connect to the dome

Cuanto tiempo lleva para hacerlo?

Could you please tell us 3d printer's specifications to build this model?

do you have to split the dome files yourself? I only see the full dome print in mrdaddely files

How much did it cost you to print and how much for equipment

Hi Kevin. Which kind of PLA+ did you use?

Shame you never made a follow up on this

great job, just need to install the AI next lol

I tried to search for the R2 files but could not locate them. Do you have the files that you used available? I so want to build R2. Wish I could find a C-3P0 as well

17:44 not much going on there *literally a powerhouse*

greetings I would like to know if you have a private email that you can send me since I would like to ask you a question. thank you

Simply awesome. Salute
