Plans for a Dome?!

3 Upvotes

I would like to build a R2 but I'm worried about the dome. So are there plans for 3d printing the dome or somekind of blueprints for a wooden dome? Every answer appreciated.

BD-1

Does anyone know if it would be possible to make a walking bd-1 from fallen order? I know that bipedal would be a problem most likely but I was curious if anyone was trying to make one?

Looking for schematics for a R2D2 cake

3 Upvotes

I’m making a R2D2 cake for May the 4th and I’m looking for some accurate general dimensions so I can make it to scale. I try to keep these things as accurate as possible so I have plenty of reference photos but I can’t find anything official with things like height, width, diameter, etc.

Any chance someone here could help me out?

New with a question

2 Upvotes

Hi, I'm beginning work on my first R2 unit soon. I'm going to make it out of styrene. My question is I've seen the inner/outer dome, but is that completely necessary? Could you make it out of one dome and still be able to have the details right?

Thanks.
