Having began Building in 2008 / 2009 (so long ago I cant exactly Remember) I been fortunate to have had my R2 on the European Premier Red Carpet twice and worked on Rogue 1 and Solo with mt R2-S8. Times change and I am now heavily into 3d Printing, and C-3PO is coming on nicely. Majority being Jessie's Files. Well I say looks like he is almost there, but I probably have a year of sanding ahead and a lot to learn about this particular droid. Started Printing at Christmas 2021 and its been pretty constant since then till now, with a few more bits to be made yet. Glad to be here ! https://www.dropbox.com/s/k519icu6pxvgeun/52254549971_853fa1b03c_o.jpg?dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/s/l0fgxhv8vuhe2m5/52255048255_b02fb9f9c8_o.jpg?dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/s/e4t44e7afz3uz1a/52253584307_86f981cf97_o.jpg?dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/s/xlg4zm4tblfrx1k/52153223397_182cce4f1a_o.jpg?dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/s/zlitap3ppenplgh/52154235696_bc018b73ce_o.jpg?dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/s/4owcpoglimggkb6/52154475139_f64e55ea78_o.jpg?dl=0nondisclosed_email@example.com (Stu B One)Tue, 02 Aug 2022 07:06:48 +0000 Re: Introduce Yourself!https://bc3pobuilders.runboard.com/p8955,from=rss#post8955https://bc3pobuilders.runboard.com/p8955,from=rss#post8955Hey everyone, I am Jerry from Texas - I have been an Astromech member for a few years still collecting parts almost ready to make the dome run then the drive system.

I just finished the head, the whole build will be based on 3D files provided by Jesse_M on thingiverse. Here is how it looks right now nondisclosed_email@example.com (studiosdc)Thu, 01 Aug 2019 04:00:21 +0000 Gloutonhttps://bc3pobuilders.runboard.com/p8926,from=rss#post8926https://bc3pobuilders.runboard.com/p8926,from=rss#post8926Hello everyone, I call myself Glutton I'm 40 years old I live in the var and I'm a dad of 2 little Jedi 4 and 6 years. I am webmaster and Android App Designer graduate in engineering networks of retired profession passionate about cinemas (so the cult movie StarWars that has accompanied me all my life), electronics, robotics but without ever having had rental practice. My kids are melted from StarWars and especially robotics to the bigger one in particular, so I figured it would be time for me to move from the idea of ​​passion to practice and why do it better than doing a project with my children. So initially we had to embark on the creation of the robot InMoov and looking on the internet for information I came across a post FB who talk about you! Of course I was eager to talk about it with my little ones and obviously it did not take 1 min for my son to tell me that InMoov is cool, but D2R2 it tears (such are these words ^^). So here I am in writing my presentation hoping that I would find all the necessary support but also all documentation and design files so that we can also be part of the R2Builders who own our droid. Hardware side I discovered the Arduino 2 months ago so I immediately started to buy all the equipment to start to make the hand and here I just ordered my first 3D printer I opt for a TEVO TORNADO . Thanking you in advance for all the support you can give us. Thank you and thank you for welcoming us to your community.nondisclosed_email@example.com (Glouton)Mon, 20 May 2019 18:18:01 +0000 Re: Introduce Yourself!https://bc3pobuilders.runboard.com/p8922,from=rss#post8922https://bc3pobuilders.runboard.com/p8922,from=rss#post8922Looking to start researching a C3P0 build for after my battledroid and BB8. nondisclosed_email@example.com (Dawyer47)Sun, 14 Apr 2019 20:19:40 +0000 Re: Introduce Yourself!https://bc3pobuilders.runboard.com/p8915,from=rss#post8915https://bc3pobuilders.runboard.com/p8915,from=rss#post8915Hey all from Southern California. I plan to build a 3d printed C3P0 suit over the next year, and hopefully document the process. I have a background in visual effects production and 3d modeling. My hope if to find a good model to start from and them modify it to add detail, accuracy and get the right fit. Anyway, It's great to see a community like this exists.

This build was to create a talking C3PO head to be used to recreate the scene in The Empire Strikes Back when Chewy is reassembling C3PO.

Name: Christopher Doyle Nationality: Canadian Place of residence: Luxembourg Present costumes: Scout Trooper (501st approved) In progress: Boba Fett My next 'project' I would like it to be C-3PO as I think I can fit the build (5'11" 148lbs) and am willing to 'suffer' it during 'cosplay' (I also race Ironmans ha ha). Anyway I am really keen on this. I think kids (of all ages) will really love a C-3PO around here so I hope I can make this a reality ('where there's a will there's a way' I always say). It seems that 3D printing (on your own or 3rd party) can make this a reasonable possibility. I will be looking through the board for links to files and opinions and I hope corresponding photos. Thanks for creating and maintaining this board and good luck to all in their builds.

Sydney Australia. Ive been working on a 3d printed suit for a while now but only finished a prototype head not too long ago.

I've wanted to build a C3PO for a very long time now. Adn got even more motivated when I met Gordon Tarpley and we were the same size and weight. Once I knew I could fit in C3PO I wanted it even more. I've always been on the lookout for a TK 409 kit for a while and I finally found one on the RPF and was lucky enough to get it. Even better it had an machined aluminum upgrade on the pistons and detail pieces. My goal is to get it done in time for Celebration London. Can't wait to get this done! Here's some pics of the kit. nondisclosed_email@example.com (KieferKreations)Wed, 29 Apr 2015 11:28:21 +0000
