Here's a minor mod for the R2D2 hexport disk to make it the same as the original blueprints and the films.
The parts here fit straight over the Mr Baddeley HexBasex2.stl. No modifications needed.
The hard work (research and measurements) was done by the good folk at 3dsfInfo. The files here are based on their research here:
It's an excellent set of research articles on R2. Have a read!
The design of the disk was scaled from the drawings on the 3dsfInfo with overall diameter set by the diameter of the HexCentrex2.stl in the Mr Baddeley R2 file archive. This visually agrees with R2 photos. Since the original R2 blueprints didn't specifically dimension this part, this is the best we can do.
Printing
Easy and fast to print. Print with the top sides down on a smooth build plate. This way the tops are very smooth and ready to paint. The sides just need a quick sand. As it's made in separate parts, this is very quick and easy. Paint, a few drops of glue and you're done.
Depending on your printer's accuracy, you may need to sand the pin to fit (Hex Centre D ASL Mod rev 1.stl).
Print settings are not very important here as long as the first layer goes down well. I used the following:
Material: PLA+ but anything is fine
Supports: No
Nozzle: 0.4mm
Layer height: 0.28mm
Line width: 0.6mm
Infill: 10%
