The other night I also mounted all the body Greeblies to R2-D2. It is so awesome seeing all the parts and colors coming together now. It got me really excited to start working on him again. 😁 #happinessMachine #StarWars #3dPrinting #droidBuilders #wip #makersHour

I delivered a new bicycle to a friend tonight who teased me, "You just like having an excuse to strap something on the back of your cargo bike."

He's not wrong!

Do you have any idea how much sanding and filler-primer was involved to get a nice smooth dome for R2-D2? Let me tell you: a lot! It didn’t help that I printed it 3 years ago in PLA+. Since PLA is really bad to sand. #3dPrinting #droidbuilder #happinessMachine #StarWars

Ok, let‘s try an #introduction. I am Spark from Germany and (sorry Bob) I like to make stuff. Especially #woodworking and #3DPrinting at the moment. Also some #sewing and #cosplay and other creative stuff. My long term project is my #happinessMachine (after Adam Savage) which is a life-sized R2-D2.

While looking at photos on my phone I realized that I haven’t done any work on my #happinessMachine Artoo for almost 6 months. So I started the process I kinda dreaded. Drilling the radar eye to use heat insets for attaching it to the dome. Since it is hollow the insets didn’t grip enough

Here and there I find a few minutes to work on the #happinessMachine. I glued some of the dome panels, since those will not be servo operated to open. #3DPrinting #StarWars #propMaking #droidbuilders #wip

Tonight I will continue some #StarWars related builds. For one I need to finish painting my R2-D2 wooden legs and also do the detail work on my Stormtrooper helmet. So the #airbrush gets some work again. 😄 #3dPrinting #happinessMachine #wip

About 3 years ago, I bought my first 3d printer and started this longterm project. A life sized R2-D2 ( #happinessMachine). I just want to highlight this #wip of mine. I did some serious progress this year with it and will chronicle it a bit here. #3dPrinting #droidbuilders #StarWars

I'd love to join. Our Madsen bucket bike enabled us to go car-free.

We moved our entire home via cargo bike—bookshelves, sofa, queen bed, & all! I've hauled lumber, ~300 lbs of scrap metal, and even a headstone for my sister. Cargo bikes turn the mundane into the extraordinary. #HappinessMachine

the radar eye. 😅 Now R2-D2 can look at me judgingly for not working on him. 😄 #happinessMachine #3dPrinting #StarWars #droidBuilders #wip #makersHour
