About this model
The survey for my next project has been closed. I'll have a video posted shortly detailing the winner and my plans to create it! This is a 3D Printed R2D2 powered with an Arduino.

After that I printed the parts out using PLA on my Robo 3D Printer. The biggest prints are the body that took around 10 hours and the head that took about 6 hours to print. The rest of the parts took anywhere from 2-3 hours. The whole project totaled about 30 hours of printing time. I printed everything at 0.3mm layer height but the quality can be improved if you decrease that. After it printed I handed it off to my wife so she co…
