Cool. Nit because I'm picky and have done too much R2-D2, but the dome looks a little squashed. (R2's dome isn't a true hemisphere, it's taller than it's radius).

Hi Kees, You can call me Michael ;-). R2 is drawn in CoCreate OneSpace Designer which is basically the predecessor of PTC's Creo Elements. PTC acquired CoCreate somewhere in 2009(?). It is a shame the free version does not import nor export PKG's! It's been a pain to me quite a few times...

Also, I've seen Jabba the Hutt look-a-likes on YouMagine already... ;) https://www.youmagine.com/designs/fathead_space-commander

Thanks for the tip, mr. somerwill! one-by-one worked fine. I guess you've designed it in Creo elements or solid designer, or an other PTC program? I've downloaded the .Pkg and .mi files as well, but my free version of Creo only loads .pk2 I will try to upload a picture when I've glued it together.. Kees

Downloads will be more robust after we've made a few changes. These may happen after the 20th since they require some planning ahead. Other fixes will be made sooner, we've just hired a second developer to speed up the rate of development for YouMagine.

Do You have problems downloading? I also had some problems downloading the models at once. It didn't work at that point but downloading one-by-one worked fine. There appear to be some problems with Youmagine with Internet Explorer so perhaps it's browser-related... Worth testing though

A Mobile R2D2 would be really awesome :) I can imagine that it makes for an interesting collaborative project! Oh, and rotation, infill, etc. are part of the anonymous statistics that Cura shares with YouMagine. This means that we can at some point (automatically) suggest to people to rotate the model or even do it automatically for them, since that's the preferred build orientation. (Note that the model isn't shared, just a fingerprint that is unique, so don't worry about Cura sending designs to us, it doesn't. If you haven't shared an actual model with us, so we can never use it to match its fingerprint or figure out what the model was.)

Hi Peter, it wasn't a stupid question at all! I'll add a comment to the description. Thanks for the feedback and good to hear the parts fit the Ultimaker at 100% :-) Good luck printing! I didn't find some time to start printing but I hope to get it going tonight. Looking forward to see your results! Please let me know if there's anything that can be improved in the design to make printing easier! Any feedback is welcome. I have plans to make R2 mobile by adding Arduino. So if there's anyone out there to help me with it, please join! I can do the mechanical bits but electronics is another thing... I noticed there's a section on Youmagine to start up things. I'll bring this idea there tonight.

Sorry. My fault. Of course rotating it makes it fit, just as you say! Thanks for a great model!!!

Hi Peter, I don't understand why it doesn't fit to be honest. I designed it with Ultimaker specs in mind (210x210x205mm, XYZ). The height of the body is 201mm so that's pretty close to max but still within specs. The cylinder of the body is diameter 190mm. The 'shoulders' are a bit wider at 199mm but still within limits. If the shoulders gives you problems, you can rotate the body 45 degrees so that the shoulder will cross the top view diagonally. The top view will then fit a square 190mm box. Perhaps this helps, otherwise I can adjust the design a bit to make it fit easier. Scaling down is not difficult but with the amount of parts can be forgotten resulting in an unusable, 100% scale print. Please let me know which direction didn't fit your UM.

Very cool!! Seems to be too big for an Ultimaker though. Warning to people starting to print this. The body fits at 98% on my Ulti.
