Hello everyone
so i have begun building my full size astromech droid! I know that this project is going to take a long time but I feel it will be worth it in the end. My droid will be built from styrene and 3d printed parts. The dome is actually a security mirror but requires a 2" riser made from a floral craft ring and styrene cover.
I wil be loading larger and not sideways photos soon.... stress

Sssuhl's Late 2017 Wall-E (Yet Another Wall-E)
Hi Everyone - New to ez-robot, but long time rc hobbyist, IT guy, etc. Just wanted to put up a quick post to mostly say...
@robot56.
Thanks for getting back to me. Yes I've decided to try my own skins, so with the info @Zap gave me, I've got some 1mm sheet on the way (although it won't be fitted for a while). Your little secret sounds great. That is something I would love to see.
Same as yourself, I kinda want to make an opening maintenance panel on the back so that's going to take some thought. Anyway, thanks your kind words and for the feedback. It's much appreciated.
I wish that there was a type of tube that is the proper diameter that would allow you to just glue on an outer skin
PVC pipe that big is only available in 20 foot lengths lol
I will be posting a few pictures later on of my center foot assembly. I finally have it all together but just need to finish skinning the leg and foot
@Steve G The way I have seen it done on wood frames is an entire separate wood frame for the door/hatch.
Look at this thread: https://synthiam.com/Community/Questions/7051
There's a picture in there that kind of shows it. Like a frame within a frame.
Excellent. That has given me food for thought. Thanks Zap (and to Slee for sharing the photo).
So the frame work of the center foot and leg is mainly done. I just need to finish up the skins and shells for both. the 3d printed omni-wheel mount is just a prototype (they didnt come out very well) and will be replaced with aluminum once I can find a way to bend the plating. The foot uses four 4" omni-wheels from Vex robotics and allows the droid to pivot without requiring conventional casters to rotate before turning. I'm hoping that this setup will be more stable and have better dampening because of the springs between the wheels and leg.
That looks great. I love the idea of having the suspension springs. Interesting choice on the actual wheels though. It will be interesting to see how they work out instead of casters.
Finally made some progress on the aluminum skin run and I should be getting these bad boys soon! no more wavy panels and cracking
Yep, that'll do it. And that's how an Astromech droid should be... Metal. R7 is going to look awesome when the new skin is fitted.
