Description
I'll be honest, I didn't like some of the current cut and paste versions of the R2D2 Alexa Echo Dot 3 docks available, some of them had a lot of errors when slicing. I decided to make a "as close as possible" screen-accurate version from the original files. Echo Dot 3 now fits into the main body of R2D2 (there's ton's of wiggle room), added a retaining ring to allow the head to rotate. Totally stole the head from Gerrylum here ( https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4359588 ), Check his "thing" for an alternate head too. I've found that some of the body details failed due to the auto-supports not working correctly in PrusaSlic3r - not to worry though as some kind soul has remixed the original R2D2 files to include separate parts, just scale the parts down by x 0.726 (0.7257257257257257r) times print them up and jam them into the holes: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2775080 Update 18/05/2020: Finally finished printing everything, plugged several of the holes with parts from the link above, had to use the SLA printer (Creatively LD-002R) to print the vent parts as they were a little too delicate for my Prusa MK3s to handle). Will be sanding and painting this up, further images to follow. Update: 10/06/2020 Painted version now up, would love to see some "makes" :) Print instructions Category: Gadgets Summary I'll be honest, I didn't like some of the current cut and paste versions of the R2D2 Alexa Echo Dot 3 docks available, some of them had a lot of errors when slicing.
