OK, think the Jabba Glass is done!

I've just tweaked the design and printing out version 2 (slightly tight a the base) so hopefully this one will be the final release. Print is nice and prints without support (assuming you've got a wel...

Jabba Glass accessory for the tray!!

I've done the first test design for the Jabba Glass (matches the tray I published a while back). Has 4 magnets in the base to match the tray, just printing now, without supports!! Some challenging bri...

Update R5 Dome (one print)

Hey, I've updated the R5 dome published yesterday, added support, added the breadpan boxes, changed the top to allow better panels and facilitate opening panels for those bad motivators. Same file / l...

R5 Single print dome!!

The R5 single print dome is now in the Patreon Share (well 2 part print as the lower ring is a separate print but it's much easier than the jigsaw piece version). It's got some tough overhangs, I've a...

R4 Dome part 6 published.

Hi all, 

Here's the latest Fusion video 6, showing part 6 of creating the R4 Dome in Fusion finally published a printable single file! Also shared is the final Fusion design....

Random Bank Holiday Bonus

OK, not in the slightest R2 related  (well, guess via Disney, twice removed). But I've designed the Storm...

Quick link to the latest Fusion video

Session 6 for the R4 design is out. Link is... https://youtu.be/7hjoCDz-YYo

Files and backlog I'll publish tomorrow. 

R4 Single Print model release!

I've completed part 6 of the Fusion Design video (this is part of the dedicated Patreon series, taking you from the basics through to a full dome design) and part 6 has resulted in the Single Print mo...

Centre module first fit

I’ve fitted the centre lift module to the main frame. Really wanted to test the strength of the lift frame. Fit is good, want to reduce the size a little bit and strengthen a tweak but overall it’...

Fusion Files - Legs n Greebles!

Here’s the Fusion design for the legs and greebles (as requested 😊). 

I also thought I’d put the links to all the fusion files in one note (and add to it as Patreon is...

The lift mechanism continues

Just finished the main frame (and printed it now). Got to say I’m extremely happy so far. It’s very, very strong and fits together nicely like a big Mechano kit. The gearing is tight and smooth. S...

Fusion Files shared (and the back catalogue in one post!).

Here’s the Fusion design for the R2 trays, I’ve included both three and two leg versions, although I suspect the two leg version isn’t so popular. 

I also thought I’d...

A minor deviation.. In my spare time

The lift mechanism is really coming together, but fancied something different in my spare time. I've wrestled with sculpting (rather than hard modelling as I'm used to) for some time, never with any r...

Frame's getting there. Might be a little over engineered but it's got some load to deal with so I want to be over cautious.

The Lift mechanism continues.. and continues.

The centre lift mechanism isn't easy. You've got to fit the thing in the middle of Artoo, not interfere with the dome or dome rotation mechanism. It's got to be strong, robust and fairly fast. Also it...

More single print files.. The drive gear

I've added a single print option for the drive gear for all those who have huge... printers. Happy printing..

Mike.

Centre leg lift gearbox v4

Finally got one which I’m happy will let me test.

Alternative Drive Wheel / Belt

A fabulous contribution from one of our community, Hajuskin is an alternative Drive Belt / Wheels for the drive mechanisms if anyone is having issues. He's very kindly shared with the group so I've ad...

Attaching the Susan... Instructions.. At last..

A huge apologies for the delay on getting some notes together on attaching the lazy susan (I've been Lazy :-) but they're here now. I've added them to the instruction folder in both shares so it take ...

2-3-2 update

A whole weekend of printing and testing tolerances... I've literally printed the drive gear box probably 4 or 5 times. Nearly there, still got some tweaks but I'm happy with the running and meshing of...

Started printing stuff!

The work continues....

Dome update!

Ok, so we have R2, R5, R6, R7 and R9 ready to print! R4 is Work in Progress. 

Happy printing,

Mike,

The 200 cut R7 dome is also ready :-)

So we've got both a single print and segmented dome ready to go. The Panels / Greebles fit both and all supports are built in!

Happy Printing

Mike,

R7 Dome - Oops, one more thing

I've just updated the R7 dome STL (single print). No biggy, but forgot to put the holes on the base of the dome to match to the ring. If you've started printing you can continue and drill out using a ...

Reminder for the tutorials

I've had a few questions on getting started with Fusion, just a quick reminder (and look back through the Patreon posts), we've got 6 or 7 videos on starting with fusion and the live build of the R4 d...

R7 dome fusion files shared

Hi, I've added the R7 dome onto the fusion shared for all my dedicated Patreon. Enjoy, tweak, modify or customise!

R7 Full dome ready for printing, all you CR10 500 guys!

So this time I'm releasing the full single print dome first. This R7 dome I'm really pleased with, I've added built in support for all details so hopefully it will print with no extra support. The fil...

Simplified Doors now finished

Only a small (but nice) update. I've tweaked all the doors to use the 45 degree angle print like the side pockets. They're much easier to print, need little assembly and most importantly appear to pri...

New door test

I’ve altered the door cuts, always bugged me on previously builds the number of pieces and warping. I’ve cut them the same as the side pockets and first tests look superb!! This is a half long doo...
