WED-15-ST68 Septoid Droid - Paul6700 - 01-20-2024

I hope everyone is familiar with the Septoid Droid from the sale scene in ANH.

As I was building Treadwell #2, I had extra wheels, extra tracks, and enough parts to build a second frame, and that is when I thought I might make this droid.

I just found out there is limit to pictures you can include in a post. Here the rest of that original post:

Then there were two.

Basically, the Septoid was built over the Treadwell base. Originally, they vacuformed the base to go over it. I do not have a vacuform machine that large, so I built this one out of wood. At this point, the bearing is just sitting on top with some standoffs.

The WED-15-ST68 name came from Wookiepedia as the name associated with the droid at the sale scene. I am not sure where the Septoid name came from as the droid clearly has eight arms.

On to the mast:

3-inch ABS pipe for the main mast with a 3D printed part for the base of it and the top of it.

The mast topper topper is the same from the video of the head only larger. The partial mast I used in the head video was too small.

The main plate is a 15-inch wood disk with 3D printed details for everything else.

Used aluminum rod for all the wire pieces that make up the supports for the legs.

Here is a little tease of an arm attached to the base. I wanted to see how the wire supports would hold the arm in position.

Also needed to add fake pneumatic cylinders and know how long to make them.

Paint to the wire parts.

Mounted the neck motor under the orange topper in the same way as before. Got all the wires mounted as well.

Next up will be arms.

Very nice! Beautiful engineering and fabrication.

RE: WED-15-ST68 Septoid Droid - Paul6700 - 01-25-2024

Thank you Gentlemen.

RE: WED-15-ST68 Septoid Droid - Paul6700 - 01-26-2024

The arms are made up of 1-inch PVC pipe and 32 3D printed parts. And everything needed to be filled, sanded, primed, sanded again, and painted. I just wanted you guys to know it was hard.

Quick recap of the head. Also printed. I did this last year sometime.

Built the front and rear panels for the droid.

I have modeled all of the tools at this point.
