A project log for Star Wars: BT-1 the Blastomech

BT-1 was introduced in the Star Wars Darth Vader comic books as a twisted mirror version of R2-D2. BT-1 is the first and only Blastomech.

Once it was dialed in and I was able to get through the learning curve the MPCNC generated the frame. I am using birch for strength.

This is a test fit of the 3d printed parts with the inner skin. The skin was drawn with the MPCNC and then cut by hand. I was having issues getting a clean cut on the styrene. This way is more labor intensive but I didn't want to waste a lot of styrene.
