It is official, I am building a second Treadwell. This one will be slightly different than my original. My original droid was made to match the "A New Hope" Treadwell. This one will be a different color and arm configuration.
To start things off I am posting my drawings for the head. Please excuse my very poor drafting skills. My plan is to create a full set of accurate drawings for Treadwell. Anyone with real skills that wants to improve my drawings, please feel free.

I am starting with the head!
I ended up making a bunch of 3D printed parts that could go in the files section. Not sure exactly how to do that part. There are more STL files coming as I progress through this second build.
Here is the build video:
I hope you guys enjoy!
Sure i do.
I'm super excited about this!!
Also, we'd *love* to host your files if you'd like to share them. The process, as it stands right now, is simply sending them to either Kresty or I and we'll upload them to the files section.
Your first Treadwell is very impressive. I can't wait to see what the next one will do!

Thank you Savagecreature!
One of you guys send me an email at paul6700 at Yahoo.com and I will set you up with a dropbox link and then I can start the file sharing process. I have various parts from the original build, and it probably would be a good idea to add a picture with the different parts as reference.
Looks like I forgot one dimension. Thank you Ross, for pointing that out!

Working on the next section of the droid. Here is the terrible drawing of the mast.

Always fun to watch. Well made build, and video.
Thanks
Looking great.
I considered a full aluminum mast (albeit without the aluminum core) but I decided that it was probably much too expensive for my budget. Especially since I don't own a lathe capable of getting the pieces to the precise size.
Of course, my budget is currently precisely $0, so everything fits that description at the moment. Ah well, nobody ever claimed this was a cheap hobby.
