Star War D-O Inspired Droid - DIY Scratch Build Star Wars Droid
Вставка
- Опубліковано 14 сер 2021
- This DIY scratch build could be the cousin of D-O from Star Wars. A fellow maker put out a challenge to make a droid out of bottle caps and lids. When I saw this I instantly wanted to make one! With a few lids and caps I created this Star Wars inspired droid and it was a pretty fast build.
Check out Andy's channel for some great practical tip on things like building robot hands and legs.

I hope you enjoy this custom DIY Scratch Build!
Thanks for visiting DR Toys, have a great one! - Розваги
We are glued to the screen any time you release a Star Wars MOC!
😃 THANKS!
I was trying to warn you to prime and paint before you put the tread on, but you couldn’t hear me 🤣😂 Great job on the finished project. Super cool! 🙌🏻
Yeah... as soon as I was about to prim it I looked at it and was like, "REALLY!!! I can't believe I did that" 😂
This is a far more interesting redesign than the actual D-O. Bravo
Thanks!
Dave, what I love about your videos is there are no rules! It’s all improvised. (Sorry my comments are floating over weeks months and a year. It’s because many of your videos come up as random feeds on my daily UA-cam videos.)
No worries at all… the YT algorithm is all over the place!😂
I just kinda wing it, part of the fun is problem solving along the way!😅
Pretty Nifty Little Robo-project.
Thanks!
The light and base takes your models to next level. Good job
I'm not super great with electronics but the Tea Lights are super easy to work with and I agree, help push it to that next level.
Thanks for watching!
Very nice, the purple light was a great touch as was the tread but weirdly I felt the base is what really brought it all together
Thanks... the base was a pretty simple touch but I thought the same thing.
We must appreciate your Creativity
Thanks
I like your diorama base.
You can upcycle the blocky feet from old sofas and chairs.
That's a great idea.😃
Another great build!
Glad you like it!
When you got to the part where you had to take the track off because you didn't prime it yet, I've definitely done that before lol. Cool little build though! I've been wanting to do a similar one. 👍
Sometime I get to excited and forget to think! 😂
@@DRToysCreations It happens to me too! I love this build! Very cool!
Thank you Dr.!
Lisa
@@DRToysCreations That's exactly what happens in my builds.😂
Thanks again for sharing and the inspiration to build more. 👍
Looking forward to it :)
Hope you like it!
Awesome build! I love the mono-wheel design you went with. I can definitely see this droid running about a large starship or some futuristic building.
Thanks so much! 😃
That purple light was a good touch. This is one of my favorite things you've done
Thanks so much!
Andy's awesome
100%
Awesome
as always!
You're the best! Thanks.
Mmm all your videos are so cool..even a beginner or just a viewer gets so inspired and motivated to make stuffs out of bits n pieces 👍🏻🤩
Thank you so much 😀
I just found Andy about a week ago! Excellent channel, immediately thought of DO when I saw his video
Awesome, thank you!
I really like the fact that Andy keeps appearing in other channels that i know, is like a cross over. Great vídeo Dr.
It's all about makers helping other makers... That's why I enjoy this hobby so much, it's a cool group of people that just want to make cool stuff and encourage other to do the same!😃
Thanks for watching!
Awesome build!
Thanks!
Wonderful creativity and enthusiasm for your subject matter! Excellent work!!!
Thank you so much 😀
love the build i think i am going to do this challenge
Awesome!😃
Love this and all your vids....so simple yet on point....and "why didn't I see that." You do an awesome job presenting your process and results. You make a novice believe they too can do it.
Thanks so much! There are many time I feel like a novice, I just need to remember to slow down and think trought the problem at hand.
Thanks for watching I really do appreciate it!
Great lil guy DR! color scheme was a great choice too. you scared me pulling those treads off haha
Haste makes waste, right! 😂
Really cool! I usually build vehicles but I need to try a droid now! I'll be back to see what you make next!
Thanks!
Excellent build. Looks fantastic
Thanks so much! Glad you like it!
Love the way you start the videos! You must be so passionate and energetic about everything you do in life, I like the way you do it, I really, really like it! (:
Thank you so much!! I just really love art and creating and I want to encourage others to not be afraid of art but to go try it, it's super fun! 😀 Life's too short to take ourselves too serious...
Once again I have been inspired! Great work as usual! I really like how you use the tea lights.
Thanks so much! 😊
Great stuff as usual - extra big Like
Extra Big thanks back at ya! 😃
@@DRToysCreations Thank you for your reply, I got hooked by Andy´s as well which led to this:

Cute little bot you've made! :-)
Thank you! 😊
Ooh can’t wait
Hope you like! 😃
@@DRToysCreations I’ve seen it now, it was very good!
@@themanwhowouldbebrick Thanks for watching!
Once again loved your build the tank tracks we're great idea for the tire treads I would have never thought of that. Keep up the awesome work.
Thanks, will do!
This latest custom is excellent! The aesthetics of this little droid is like something seen in the J.J. Abrams Star Trek universe that would go ahead before the away team arrives!
Thanks so much!
Hi Dr Toys, great video, I always come to see how to motorize my 3d prints! and you always inspire me with great new ideas. Thanks for sharing your art!
Cool, thanks!
The model looks great and I really like the design! Thanks for sharing this great tutorial.
Glad you like it!
Love these videos man they're super cool
Thanks!
Looks cute
Thanks
You need to get a hold of a Thermo grenade bottle cap the ones you can get at starwars galaxy edge Disney land
Good to know... Heading there next Monday 8/23! 😃
Dude... I feel your pain.... I knocked over my Nuln oil as well and spilled about 90% of it. But I managed to knock mine off my work surface and it hit the garage floor and launched the oil up into the air and splattered across my face/hands. haha I ran to the bathroom and tried washing it off as quick as I could but certain spots on my skin were dyed black for a week..... but that didn't bother me the most. Not having any Nuln Oil right now is the worst part about that experience!!
Oh and great build as always.
Oh no!!! 😆
Yeah, and it's not the first time I've done it. Being cheap guy doesn't help either... that stuff is expensive! I know there are guys that make their own but I just haven't gotten around to doing that yet. Sometimes you pay for convenience. 😂
Andy send me! subscribed! totally awesome lid bot!
Thanks for the sub!
Great job!! I love when you throw in a few concept sketches to show what your idea is.
That is my favourite part, as I am a concept artist… if a 3d model is built, that’s a bonus!!
Take care… great work on all your projects!
That's a great idea! I will try to include more of that. Thanks for watching!
@@DRToysCreations Star Wars is a great foundation for doing fantasy fiction ideas… and having friends at ILM & Tippet studios doesn’t hurt!
Later man
I love it.. it is cute, simple, but awesome and can be done in one day! Love your work man.. 🤘🤘
Thanks a ton!
You could add a sort of hook for towing things, such a trolley or similar, it could be a support droid for mechanics.
Cool idea! Thanks
I subscribed to Andy's channel about a eek ago, he has some cool builds also
And he's a great guy!
I see what ya did there lol. Bet he gets up stairs just fine.
P.S. The purple light was a nice touch - friendly indeed 😇🙌🏻
I think so too!
I think you should call this one Uni-Wheeler or EW 33 , fantastic l'l robot though
Thanks.
what a cool little model Dave! Did you have to drill your base to recess the battery holder?
Yup, and I dont have a drill bit that large so it's a bunch of small holes to make the large whole... AKA A pain in the neck!
I've really enjoyed all of billeds so far I have one for you to try how about using a n old mouse from a computer for your next billed
I actually just got two mice from a yard sale... I'll have to come up with something cool! 😃👍
Thanks!
That would be cool, I have seen quite a few cool builds use mice or mice parts. From mini tanks to tiny spaceships, armored chest plates for a mech/bot, or even a hover vehicle...the possibilities are only limited by your imagination.
I have a couple I picked up years ago just because they look cool and I thought I could turn them into something else. 🤔 I need to go digging through my storage and track those down. Would love to build an off-road droid with bottle cap wheels. 😁
@@earlware4322 I was thinking 🤔 more like the big robot 🤖 from robo cop
Love this droid BTW. My favorite you’ve done so far. I do have a question though. When your placing the decals, you soak them in somthing what is it??
I’m out of town and I can’t remember what it’s called but I did just use it on my Hubba Bubba Bubble Tape Robot (my last video I posted)
I showed it in the video, I do remember that.😃
The light through the rear window like a service port? #chefskiss
Very cool. (“Puzzle for a monkey” made me snort.)
😂
I really like this one it is really cool but what would you charge someone for you to build one for them but it would have blue posies and and a purple light and I think it would have to be like purple where you put the blue peases are and it would look really great with a metallic color purple so it would pop more and the reason for is cause my wife loves purple thanks again and a great video keep them coming your friend jon daniels up here in oregon thanks
Hi Jon, thanks so much for reaching out. Because this is just a hobby and I work full time I haven't been able to commit to doing custom work for people. It would be cool if someday I could do this full time but that's just not the case now.
Have a great day!

😂
This is the 3rd time ive seen u use gundam pieces
Do you build gundam kits? I'd love to see you customize one!!!
I do gunpla everyday
I actually dont think I have ever built a full Gundam... I always find half built ones at yard sales with parts missing... I'll need to add that to my list because they are beautiful kits!
@@DRToysCreations they're soooo satisfying lol
Excellent. What type of glue is that in the squeeze bottle? I've just been using hotglue gun or cheap dollar store super glue but as I'm progressing I want to get better stuff and more tools. I am going to look for one of them little manual drills I see you using. That's a cool idea. Keep it up.
The glue is BSI Insta-Cure + (Medium gap fill). It's amazing, I did the same using cheap super glue and had nothing but trouble. This stuff is amazing! : )
The little drill is called a Pin Vice, I got it on EBAY for like $10-15 but the bits are kinda garbage so I ma need to get some better bits....
@@DRToysCreations really appreciate it
What's your PHD in May I ask
Awesomeness! LOL
It's actually my initials... Dave Russell People jokingly called me Dr. so i just kinds stuck.
Fun side note I do have my Masters degree in art, concentration on graphic design (because I wanted to get a job that i could make a living at... LOL)
@@DRToysCreations are that is so good well done
