From a Galaxy Far, Far Away to Your Screen: Watch as I bring R2-D2 and C-3PO to life using 3D printing and painting techniques! #MakeItReal #StarWars3DPrint #AstromechBuild #ProtocolDroid
Models Created by: StarWars3D
In this video, I recreate the iconic Star Wars duo, R2-D2 and C-3PO, from digital STL files to fully finished physical models. Using my #ElegooSaturn and #ElegooMars3Pro printers, I carefully print each part, followed by post-processing with the #ElegooMercuryPlus Wash and Cure Station to ensure durability and precision. The incredible STL files by #StarWars3D provided the perfect foundation for this project.
The assembly process involved meticulous sanding, fitting, and gluing to ensure every piece aligned seamlessly. Once assembled, I brought these droids to life with vibrant colors and intricate details. For painting, I used #MonumentHobbies Pro Acryl paints, layering colors with airbrushing and hand-painting techniques. From R2-D2’s vibrant blue accents and metallic silver body to C-3PO’s golden shine and colorful exposed stomach wires, every detail was carefully crafted to stay true to their iconic appearances.
Whether you’re a fan of #3DPrinting, #MiniaturePainting, or just love Star Wars, this video takes you through the entire journey of creating these legendary characters. Don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe to follow my journey in bringing characters from the screen to life—one print and brushstroke at a time!
