Here's the latest addition to the MicroDroid series, the BR-2U, drink bot!. This is a track droid which can carry two drink cans and has a deployment mechanism including opening doors and lifting the cans! It also fits any of the Baby Astromechs, for customisation, features steering arms, dome turning as well as the can mech. I will be adding many custom greebles and as always, share the fusion files for those wishing to create there own unique version.

If you've not seen this fella in action, here's a link to the youtube video.

Heyho. My Status is dedicated supporter here, but I can not see the files. But I love the Beerdroid so much. Would like to print it

Joe Zimmerman

I have the same problem. I can't seem to find the files.

Andreas Wadamahaarda

Hello, where i can find the Baby Astromechs files for the Drinks Bot ? THX

Check the getting started pdf in the OneDrive or Facebook page, it has direct links to the posts

If I print the body using the file that has all the separate pieces, what do I use to put them together? I see all the holes in the pieces but what would you recommend?

Awesome, I know many of your files don't require supports Is this true also for the very large files in this build? For example like the main body has a split version and then there's a full all-in-one version. Could you print the large version without supports? Also are the STL files already pre-oriented to optimal positions or should we optimize it further when we open it up in our slicer? Thanks in advance and awesome project

I am not able to access the fusion files for this. It's not even prompting for a password. I had a failed print on the main body sides and I wanted to slice them to just print the missing part vs re-printing the entire thing.

I'm not able to access the Fusion files and it looks like someone else had the same issue a few months ago. The Fusion page says, "Unauthorized....Sorry. You don't have permission to access this page." Can you add the new link to the instructions document? Thanks!

Hi Michael. I am rebuilding my BR-2U on my live stream. I am switching to using the Main Greeble Land S instead of the standard greeble... is there an adapter or anything you can suggest for attaching it? Lining up the holes with the base interferes with the can lifter, but I've seen another maker use this greeble... just not sure how it is meant to be attached. Thanks for any info! Have a super day!

Jeff Klein

This is so fun! I'm going to take a break from my R2 to do this next. Regarding the Fusion360 files, do we have to be a certain level of supporter to access them? I am getting "Unauthorized" when I click on them (might be because my Fusion360 account is linked to my university email and I supported you on my personal).

John Fry

Yay, they are here! Great work as always!

Jerry Knapp

Awesome Mr. B, I Love It..

I can't tell from the instructions, do you want the pololu 4843 or 3203 motors?

Hi. I am in the process of building this model. I think I understand the way the ESC and the arm servo mix works from the RC controller but I can't see how to set up the end limits on the servo movements without also altering the output to the ESC. Thanks Dave

Michael Baddeley

It’s set to work with the standard MG996R, you raise a good point I hadn’t considered though. It’s a direct link so there isn’t a way of independently controlling the Max / Min limits. There’s two options I can immediately think of, firstly running the arms on another channel and using channel mixing on the remote, which would give independence but still automatic animation. Also the servo horn (round part which glues on), I could do a couple of versions which give a small, medium (current) and larger movement by the length of the lever. Are you having specific issues or thinking ahead?

Dr David Edley

Thanks for your prompt reply. At the moment I am just thinking ahead. I will be using the standard MG996R so I will wait until it is built and then play around with the servo horn lever if required. Thanks.

Dr David Edley

I have downloaded all the files but there appears to be a problem with one of the Greeble files. GreebleTop.stl downloads as a 520MB file!! I created this stl file from the Fusion 360 files and it seems fine at 11MB. Puzzling.

Michael Baddeley

Depends on the export settings on Fusion, I’ve turned mine up high so the guys printing in Resin get a clean print without any flat ‘triangular’ surfaces, I tend to export at high resolution now as standard as printers improve.

Michael Baddeley

Hence the large files, you can export on defaults and you’ll get the 11mb file. The file size differs depending on the model surface. Green top is complex with lots of curves.

Adrian James

Hi, just looking through the parts needed for when I put it all together. Do we need 4 of the MG996R servos as the list only says 2. Do you need 2 for the can lift and another 2 for the steering arms of the droid?

Philip Dawson

What wall and infill settings would you recommend for a Prusa mk3s for the main frames, this bot looks amazing, I can't wait to print it.
