Okay, hear me out...
Build a 3d printer into that R2 unit, and then it can make more of itself.

I don't know about von Neumann R2s there, buddy.

This is the coolest thing I've ever seen. I have no idea how I missed this thread the first time.
Have you had to reprint any pieces, or has it all been sanding-pieces-down and slotting them into place?
EDIT: THE DOME ROTATION IS SO SMOOTH

Re: Full sized R2-D2 (WIP)
Monthly R2 Update: Spent most of last month printing legs. Had a whole leg print fail, the infill didn't print right - it got all spongy. So I cleaned out a clog in the PFE tube, bought a different brand PETG Filament, and raised the temperature. The next sets of legs and ankles printed perfectly.
I've also printed two feet frames. I've decided to buy wheels instead of printing them, just have to figure out how to modify the feet for the new wheels.
Currently printing the center foot frame. He's almost ready to stand on his own!
Parts left to print: center ankle, right and left feet shells (covers), center foot shell, and leg greebles (right horseshoe, left and right booster cover, Right- left- and center ankle greebles) and the ankle battery boxes.

Pssshhh, a real droid's shell would be at least 75% duraplast, with alusteel reinforcements.

This is soooo cool. It's at that Muppets-are-people level of the left side of the uncanny valley where I get sad that Grover dies when the puppeteer removes their hand. Like, I would feel comfortable addressing that droid by name.
