Frame!

One of the basic structures that has to be built for our little droid is the frame for the body. It's the part underneath the dome with all the little doors.  Fortunately, a fellow named Senna has already engineered a nice little frame.  The challenge? The PDF appears to be a scan of the plans.  No vectors. Likewise, an updated set of PDF files had all kinds of dimensions...including vectors, but many of the vectors were open and would not work to create pocket cuts...they are also scaled wrong.  So, the only option other than waiting to see if any of the droid builders would offer their own cnc plans....was to re-vector the original plans.  I spent some time yesterday and then last night completing those.

This morning...I cut out the 20+ parts.  Some were 3/4" and others 1/2". There is one 1/4" piece as well.

In less than 20 minutes, all the pieces were cut out, and ready to assemble:

His little body is ready for some skin!  For now, I need to complete some other work, so R2 will continue tomorrow.  Consider this: In just a few days I've almost completed his legs and now have the frame for his body.  Considering I only work a bit each day on this, it's pretty fast progress!
