Our first Drinks and Droids after the Birthday celebrations. Come and see people with 2 weeks of growth on their shaved heads.. Chill, Laugh, Share and talk droids.

Compatible with all the baby Astromech bodies, drink carrying, track driving madness. I’ll do a series of these including a lighter weight racing one and various greebles for different looks.
here’s a video in action.
As part of the Microdroid series, we have a new addition to the family and this one is a little larger than the Baby Astromechs. Meet SC-RMBL or EggBot. Twin track drives, printed lazy susan, custom dome. Great fun to build and drive on flat or off road!

I've put together a guide on all the builds for the group, as I'm aware there's so much cool stuff now to print that people may miss something, or may not be aware of the various support channels we've got.

Added a quick design for anyone who used the Raspberry Pie 4 for Retro gaming. This is a Holocron inspired case for the Raspberry pie 4. It's in the exclusives directory in the Patreon share.
