Filler and sanding...

Apart from 3D printing alot of pieces there is also all the work with perfecting every part after printing is done. We chose to do all the prints in high-resolution to make it easier to make a nice finish...

R2D2:s arm from the front, there is suppose to be two of them. These are composed of 3d prints that are made in four seperate parts, then glued together. There is a lot of sanding, filler spray, sanding, then more filler spray, several layers...

so there is four parts on each arm, they are printed two at a time, And there is three pieces of sort of like a box, where the arm is folded inside, which are also printed. These three parts (not shown in picture) also takes around 8 hours each, to print in high resolution, and these arms have about 14-16 hours of printing in them already. And that does not include all the work that goes into perfecting the object afterwards...

This is sort of like half way through the process! A lot more hours to go!
