LaserBrain99 Posted October 6, 2014 Report Share Posted October 6, 2014 Maybe a better question for the Sandtroopers, but I think it would be fun to have that prop. It's round, hollow, slightly conical, maybe made from brass. Looks like it could be part of a tapered roller bearing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjsavage7[TK] Posted October 6, 2014 Report Share Posted October 6, 2014 Since it's supossed to be something that possibly fell off of R2, maybe the R2 Builders have locked it down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iconoclasta_88[TK] Posted October 6, 2014 Report Share Posted October 6, 2014 I think sometime ago it was showed on a SW Sci-Fi expo... I remember seeing it in a picture besides some other minor props in a glass box. If I remember correctly, it was just a plastic circular hinge like thing. Maybe someone remembers better.

iconoclasta_88[TK] Posted October 7, 2014 Report Share Posted October 7, 2014 Yes. That is the picture I remembered. Seems like droids were made of white plastic at that time. Saludos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaserBrain99 Posted October 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2014 Nice work, guys! Looks like 2mm ABS will do the trick. Cut a donut shape. Heat it, then draw it over a cylinder to form it to shape. I hope I'll have a big enough piece of scrap left over from my armor build.

T-Jay[TK] Posted October 9, 2014 Report Share Posted October 9, 2014 (edited) Aargh! I recently found an old metal part from the UK, which looked somewhat correct, but didn't find this thread again to post pictures of it. Now I found the thread and checked the link to the Gary Kurtz Joiner Archive (it wasn't posted at my last visit) just to discover, mine doesn't look correct . Anyway, in case your build doesn't work for some reason, here is what I found for you Dan: ---------- Edited January 25, 2022 by gmrhodes13 link not working removed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
