As another little thank you to all the dedicated patreons, here's a tiny Micro Droid. Designed specifically for those just getting into RC or for children to start droid buiding. Probably printable in a day (not my usual huge builds), no cabling to make up, just grab 3 x FS90R continuous Servos, 3 RC channels and upwards, a receiver, a 4.8V rechargable 1200Mah battery pack, some 3mm bolts / nuts and build / paint a droid :-) You'll also need 4 x 3mmx7mmx3mm bearings for the wheels. Enjoy!

Here's the link to the STLs.

For those wanting to tweak / play, here's the fusion link for the source files.

That is adorable!

Chris Ondrovic

Awesome as always Michael, thanks for all you do. #ThisIsTheWay

Leo Mitchell

This is awesome! I can’t wait to set this one to print.

Jef Lepine

Pretty cool. Maybe I'll tackle this one before I try wiring up D-0V2

Robert Brooks

This is a cool little addition thank you

David P

an unexpected bonus ! thank you.

Peter Richards

Thanks so much for this, so great to have a weekend project for the kids. The bigger builds are great, but falls into "Dad's stuff" generally at our house. This one I can have the kids involved from start to finish over a few weekends.

Michael Baddeley

Exactly why I did it, small, quick and ideal for involving the kids on the hobby.

David den Boer

As someone who's never done anything RC, I actually am clueless when it comes to buying necessary bits here. What is meant by "3 RC channels and upwards, a receiver"?

Peter Richards

It's already working then, my girls are very excited.

Peter Richards

Basically some kind of remote control transmitter and receiver, that has at least 3 channels. The channels equate roughly to the number of servos you can control. So a three channel transmitter and receiver can control 3 servos.

Are the fusion files available for this little guy? :-)

Lars Eickstädt

Wow that would be great. Thanks a lot Michael.

Jonathan Plasted

id love to have the fusion files might add a tail or cat ears to the dome! gunna make mine Black and purple I think with special purple tracks!

Jonathan Plasted

you might find this funny but the last RC controller I bought was when I was 9, it was the kind powered by colour identifiable "Crystals" I once went to a few model shops last year trying to find spares ! only had 1 set left... a few shops gave them to me for free when they found them too, apparently they didn't think there was much of a market for them lol..

Jeremy Overbay

Would it be possible to add some parts to this to make it a non-powered model? ie...no servos, batteries or rc. just a rolling, swivel dome little guy?

Stefan Mager

Thank you for the top-update. Now my Flysky reciever has a perfect home.

Rob Libby

Great little guy. What did you do about the tracks? Printed flexible material? If so what kind

Ricardo Carrillo

Awsome, i am looking for the Micro R2D2 any have idea where it is?

John Bruewer

I have a Sphero RVR and am wondering if the main body, dome, swivel arm can be adapted to that chassis. It’s already a tracked vehicle. I have the stl file for the RVR baseplate. I think I just need to download the needed stl files from this build and cobble them together in tinkercad.
