One of our favorite things we saw at this year's Star Wars Celebration was Mike McMaster's remote-controlled Imperial Probe Droid. This life-size recreation of the menacing Viper droid as seen in The Empire Strikes Back was 3D printed over the course of a year, and wired with servos, motors, lights, and sound effects all remotely controlled by McMaster and his son. We catch up with Mike to learn about the build of this incredible robot and how it's being stress tested at the convention!

So much work and love went into the creation of this thing. It’s weird to think that the Empire mass-produced this stuff with disposability foremost in mind. They didn’t give a crap about them. As weird as it may sound, thank you for caring about the scouts.

@tkitt21 2 года назад

I started playing a MMORPG game called “Star Wars Galaxies” back in 2004. They shut the servers down in 2011, but there are still several private Emulator servers up an running that I still play on. If you were a Bounty Hunter in the game you would have to use these Probe droids, and also Arakyd droids in the game to track your Jedi target. So it’s so cool to see something Iv used in a video game for so long now be brought to life, I definitely want one! Please Santa…

Anybody else do the math on the expense of just the 3D printing filament alone? At 48kg even if they're pretty cheap rolls at $15/kg that's $720 just in filament, for the sake of argument, even if he was able to get filament for $5 for a kg spool it's still $240 *just in filament* ....staggering

@tezcharold 2 года назад

Looks really cool, but really think this is printing gone a bit crazy. Surely it would be easier and less time consuming to just build up the body with normal materials, rather then printing out the whole thing.

Agreed, a printed shell on an internal space frame could have saved a LOT of plastic. I'm guessing this was just a scaled up small STL file.
