The body - 1

Well, this will be the most intensive part of the whole droid. The body is made up of several different parts to be printed and most of them needs 3-4 hours of printing (sometimes more).

Anyway the building is a quite linear task, so there should be no problems or at least they should be really few. 

My only concern is about ABS warping. With the new printer and the enclosure this has been quite reduced, but still visible in the biggest parts. I will surely need to make some post printing fixes...

That's what I have done until now...

The dome - 1

The "easiest" part to print of this R2D2 is the dome. It's made up of several pieces that must be printed, glued together, sanded and painted. As I wrote in the introduction, there is a long post produtcion work to do if you want a good loking Astromech...
