James Bruton Offering His Full-Sized, 3D Printed R2-D2 Robot Free on Github - 3DPrint.com

The moment Professor Tony Dyson’s most famous creation hit the big screen in 1977, R2-D2 began his assault on the hearts of moviegoers. The charismatic robot creation is a part of the collection at the Smithsonian Institution and has been honored with inclusion in the Carnegie Mellon University Robot Hall of Fame.

It’s said that George Lucas created R2D2 after being influenced by the 1958 Akira Kurosawa film, “The Hidden Fortress” and by Douglas Trumbull’s 1972 film, “Silent Running,” and the original Star Wars films featured two R2-D2 models – one remote controlled and another worn by actor Kenny Baker. The iconic sound effects which made up the “voice” of R2-D2 were created by sound designer Ben Burtt who used an analog synthesizer and his own processed voice to make it happen.

Now Briton James Bruton, the majordomo of Xrobots. co.uk, has become a bit of a legend himself with his desktop, 3D printed science-fiction and cosplay inspired projects, and one of his more impressive creations is a 3D printed version of R2-D2. And to top it off you can, if you have the will and the skill, download the CAD files for one of his most impressive builds – a full-sized version of the R2-D2 robot of Star Wars fame.

Professor Tony Dyson with R2D2

Bruton’s work fuses engineering techniques from 3D printing, electronics, sculpting, molding, casting and textiles to build everything from an amazing Iron Man suit to an experimental boat.

Since late 2004, Bruton has operated his Xrobots initiative and a popular YouTube channel which features weekly video releases of his work, designs and tutorials from his Southampton lab. Bruton has cultivated a devoted following online eager to check out his detailed explanations of his approach to the design and execution of his projects. He also owns a small import and sales business for creative materials called Creative Resources Distribution Limited.

He largely finances his projects through a combination of sponsorship and Patreon.com, a site which lets fans pledge support money for each of his YouTube clips.

Bruton is now sharing all the necessary data and advice to build his 3D printed R2D2 via Github. He says he was intent on building a version of the classic robot which is lightweight; perhaps 30% more so than a similar version built with sheet or other materials.

When he’s finally done with the project, which is still underway at this point, Bruton hopes to have a fully-operational result which include all the necessary servos, motors lighting and sound capabilities to make it amazing.

And so far, he’s done the vast majority of the construction with his Lulzbot TAZ 3D printer. Using Autodesk, Bruton has designed a very complete digital blueprint and provides a wide range of suggestions and advice on how it can be built.

He’s also exceptionally web and social media-savvy fluent, as you can see the full range of his projects on his Facebook page, Xrobots. co.uk, YouTube, Twitter, Google+, Pinterest and Shapeways.

What do you think of James Bruton’s 3D printed R2-D2 robot project? Would you take on a project of this complexity yourself? Let us know in the 3D Printed R2D2 Robot forum thread on 3DPB.com.

15 epic 3D printable Star Wars models

Yoda, which one will you have on your desk? Laser sword hilt holder? Or a battery powered moving AT-AT? Get these epic Star Wars models with 3D printing.

Looking for a new model of Darth Vader or a roaming AT-AT? After all, a new episode of Star Wars is just around the corner - more precisely, in December - so it's time to prepare for it. What is the best way to do this? Stock up on 3D printed Star Wars items. Below is a list of amazing Star Wars 3D printable models.

1. Thermal detonator

This Star Wars thermal detonator can be 3D printed. The model has four holes for LEDs, allowing you to bring this support to the senses.

2. Darth Vader head

Of course, this head is a 3D printed product. It can be used as a great accessory for any desktop. This model looks best for printing in black.

3. Luke Skywalker's lightsaber

This Star Wars model comes in eight separate parts. “I see that you are constructing a new lightsaber. Your skills are perfect. Surely you are strong, just as the Emperor foresaw." - Darth Vader.

4. Polygonal Yoda

3D printed bust of Yoda. The polygonal design perfectly conveys the character's character. The 3D print should take about seven hours using PLA and 20% infill at 100 microns. Patience must have! This is Yoda.

5. Large R2-D2

A beautiful remake of the R2-D2 droid. But R2-D2 is white, isn't it? An exact copy can just as easily be printed using a variety of colors. Make sure to save the plans for the Death Star in the R2-D2 droid.

6. Star Wars Emblem

When 3D printing the emblem, it is recommended to use two colors, preferably black and yellow, as in the photo.

7. Motorized AT-AT

This is a 3D printed AT-AT that can walk. How cool is that? This part of the movement has 69 parts and is powered by a 9-volt battery and a 90 rpm motor.

8.BB-8

3D printed version of BB-8, the ride droid from Star Wars Episode VII. Model BB-8 is designed for use with Sphero. Sphero is a controlled robot ball app that can roll at speeds up to 7 feet per second.

9. Blaster Han Solo

This blaster is known as the DL-44 blaster pistol. Han Solo used one of these pistols in the Star Wars movies. We suggest printing this Star Wars model with 10% infill and 200 micron quality.

10. K-2SO

3D printable model of the K-2SO robot seen in Rogue One. This is a witty robot who sacrificed his existence for the success of the mission - to steal the plans of the Death Star. "Now close the vault door. Goodbye." ―K-2SO.

11. Case for iPhone 6 Star Wars

3D Printed Case for iPhone 6 Smartphone. We suggest printing this Star Wars model with thin layer height, so that the thinnest part of the back panel of the case consists of more than one layer.
