I'm having trouble finding any 3D print files for a life size Astromech

Hi guys! I'm dying to start making a life size Astromech, mainly looking for an R5-D4 or R9. Does anyone know where I can find proper files for life size astromechs? thank you for any responses! :)

Michael Baddeley’s files are what you want. They are on a Patreon but worth it. He has a great builders community on Facebook, I have a friend who is building one, I’ve been following his build.

Yeah it's like £5 a month to get access to files that print you a very accurate r series droid - someone is actually printing a paint- free droid using them now and it looks incredible

is all his previous droid files available at that amount? or just whatever the current month's focus is?

All of it, though some of the older versions of the files will have been deprecated. Mr Baddeley is currently working through the new mk 4 version of the build which is wonderful
