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

LJ's Project Grim Reaper
Years ago I saw a few Halloween props discussed here, on YouTube and on Make. I showed a few to my kids who really...
Thank you! the dome is actually a plastic chrome security mirror that i painted and built a 2 inch riser for to get the height correct.
The appropriate dome for these droids are actually ellipses (more egg shaped) where mine is a hemisphere... Domes are hard to come by though so this was my next best option.
How did you make the cutouts on the dome.I also used a large security dome.Not easy to make nice even openings.
@rb550f the larger round hole was from a 1.5" hole saw drill where i had to go super slow ensuring not to chunk out the plastic. the rectangular holes are actually just cut using a dremel and cut off wheel. it was very time consuming I wish I had a better way to cut them..
ok so I've made some progress on my droid! Although its not a lot of progress I am still pretty pleased with it... I am trying to make whatever I can myself so it took some testing to get the LED's how i wanted.
This is the light that transitions from blue to red in the front of the droid. The LED's were originally clear but I did not like how you could see the individual LED's behind the fogged cover. I used a krylon matte finish paint and fogged the led's until i got the desired effect i was looking for
The base is 3d printed and the fogged screen is a piece of cutting board that i cut and mounted to the mount. I also added some aluminum tape on the inside of the bezel to distribute the light more evenly.
Also here is a video of 2 out of the 4 logic displays that will be mounted in the dome of my droid
Way awesome , great job!
I had a little bit of time today and decided to mount the PSI light bezel and the 3rd logic display
PSI's are all mounted and am now finishing up the last Logic display. next on the list is motorizing the dome and attaching it to the frame
