C3P0 Build Episode 1

This is the first in a series of videos on how I am building my C3P0. I have learned a lot from my fellow builders and I would like to thank them here as well as provide some links to their wonderful videos:

3PO's head on the printer plate looked like Groot was trying to entangle it!

[@JamesEzell]

Looking forward to your build

[@magicmanac]

Looks great

[@WhereNerdyisCool]

You gained a subscriber from me! I like your enclosure and fume extractor setup!

[@MakerDan55]

Thanks! I'm a huge fan of yours :)

[@brightnovastar]

Looks very good. Do you ever vapor smooth your abs prints? Can you tell us about your air scrubbers?

[@MakerDan55]

Thanks! My air scrubbers are just respirator filters that are attached to some computer fans. I 3D printed a screw on adaptor for the respirators so when I need new ones all I have to do is unscrew them and screw on new ones. The fan assembly stays attached to the back of my unit. I don't vapor smooth prints but I do use Bondi mixed with acetone.

Very cool! I always wanted my own Threepio and considered trying to adapt the InMoov android. There is some support out there for Threepio I believe. You can get some inspiration from Adam Savage's Tested too. Good luck and I'm looking forward to watching your progress!

[@MakerDan55]

Thanks for the compliment. I am almost done modelling up the servo mechanisms for the neck. I'll post that in my next video :)

[@soacramare8024]

Where can I download or buy STL files for C3PO?

[@MakerDan55]

They are on Thingiverse. Look for Jesse M.

[@Rasordiver]

Hallo Dan, that‘s a nice ohne!

[@MakerDan55]

Thanks! I hope this all works out :)

[@bluebeast440]

Can't find enough files anymore to build a C3P0..... Jesse's collection on Thingiverse is missing legs and other parts :/ Any idea where to get all needed files to build C3P0 anymore?

[@MakerDan55]

The C3PO files should now be updated on Thingiverse.
