If you want to display your R-series astrodroid in the 2-leg “walking” or “standing” mode, you have two choices. First, find a small person to wear the droid as a costume. This, of course, is what George Lucas did in 1976, and without Kenny Baker's amazing performances Artoo would not be the beloved character he is today.
Failing that, you need to lock the ankle somehow, so the droid doesn't fall over.
On the Mr.Baddeley MkIII design, there are openings in the foot and leg that were intended for a 2-3-2 system that would let the droid shift between 2-leg and 3-leg modes. As far as I know, that never got implemented. (There are other 2-3-2 systems for Baddeley droids but they use different mechanisms.) But if all you want is a static, 2-leg display, these openings offer potential.
The parts in this upload can be inserted into the opening in the foot and bolted in place. v1 uses an inserted square nut. As you can see from the picture, I found that somewhat fragile, but I'm sharing it anyway for folks who aren't ready to try out heat-set inserts. v2 is meant to use a heat-set insert. There is already a hole in the foot that accepts an M4 bolt.
The v2 ankle lock has a larger support base to reduce movement, but do be aware that there is still a bit of slop with either version, and your droid is likely to lean back a few degrees unless the insides are very front-heavy.
This archive only has the one file in it; mirror it for the other leg.
