2019-03-30 09:55:48 +0000 UTC View PostApologies, but I have had to remove giveaways as raffles / draws are outside of the terms of use for Patreon. These were intended as a way of saying thank for the support from the group and completely understand the reasoning for the policy as it was never intended as a raffles.
Huge thanks...

Think I’ve managed to source a great price for Dirtydown weathering sprays. £8.50 a can plus postage (if we can get a few orders maybe cheaper, and/or maybe collect at R2UK so no postage) I’d anyone is interested in a set (Which brings it to £24 I’d recommend Black, Dark Brown and Amber ...

Just a reminder, this Sunday we've got an exclusive interview with Droid Builder and Puppeteer Lee Towersey, who build and controlled many of the droids we have seen in the new Star Wars movies. The Interview is on Facebook Live on the Mrbaddeley Printed Droid Facebook group!
So, a sneaky new dome in the MKIII Dome folder, this droid, although the dome would fit a standard R2 Body, is a little preview of a side project which will be released into the group once complete.....

I've updated the V2 now to add the new centre Omniwheels as an option. You'll find them in the main share, under STLS-R2D2V2erFeet-R2D2Ver2CentreFoot-Uprgraded Omniwheels 2.0 These fit the standard V2 frame and skins, so just the omniwheels and frame needs printing and bolting in place of the nyl...

I've published the Centre Leg, new Onmiwheels, skins, ankle and frame in the Patreon Share. Lots of fixes, upgrades etc.
Please note, the only way this is compatible with the v2 build is if everything from the ankle down is reprinted, the new CSR 2.0 revised shell is 1/2 inch taller, ...

I’ve revised the drive unit. The new version has direct gears rather than belts, much easier to set up. Herringbone gears for a smoother quieter drive. I’ve made the whole thing bolted together, no glue needed, revised the omniwheels to include 3mm bearings and ninjaflex tyres for smooth / qu...
