3D Printed R2D2 - Part 110

[@jasonsR2D2]

Hey Tom! It's great to see you back at R2. Using a wire linkage for the modified door hinge DOES require a bit more hogging out of the lower passthru holes, but if you've got those beautiful blinking lights going on in there, it'll be a more than adequate distraction! Regarding the hinges, perhaps it would be better if the door holes were elongated a bit to provide some positioning flexibility? I might consider making that update at some point, or if you're able to come up with a good remix before I do, let me know. I'm glad to hear you've got an upcoming droid event to attend - have fun! Often that's the motivation that keeps us building. Cheers!

@jasonsR2D2 Thanks Jason! I had the same thought about the hinge holes, adding the ability to adjust them seems like a great idea. I should be able to get the blinkies in soon. They've also got an input for battery hookup to show charge level. Hopefully they don't go pop when I wire them up.

It's been a pleasure watching your builds, I wanna build my own Astromech one of these days, so your videos have been very motivation for me.

@@MDigitalProductions Thank you! It's a big project but a lot of fun as well.

You could also try to thave the block hinges (The part screwed in the body holding the little hinge) further into the body, Screwing it thighter so the door would slide into its place

[@TomsProjects]

@@JoheTehn That is a possibility but the screws are so small that I'm worried about stripping them out if I go too tight.
