Episode 1 C3PO

[greedo]

Thank you guys. It was a super fun project to work on. I still need to add sound and random neck servo movement, but that will be a bit later as I have other projects to do first.

Pure scratch build.
I love it.
How it was done, when it was done right.
I love a thread like this.
3d printing has taken away this joy.
Thank you for sharing this.

Quick question, what did you use for the eye sockets?

Thank you!

The eye sockets were made from PVC. I was able to find really thin walled PVC that’s used for toilet tank innards and had the diameter I needed. The grills are plastic and were given to me by a friend who had them lying around as extra from a kit he bought. He ended up using brass parts and had these just collecting dust , so he offered them up to me.

Going back through this build log and I realized that I never posted a video of him.

Also... I am planning on adding to this and making the full body with arms and legs soon.
