YouTube Short
There is a YouTube short of Grogu's first public appearance at the Maker Faire in Dortmund in March 2024:
This time even more authentic
In the summer of 2023 I already have an animatronic Grogu figure, which I exhibited at the Makerfaire in Hanover. At that time, I was already very satisfied with the result. However, due to the short construction time until the Makerfaire, I had to make a few compromises, which I would now like to improve.
Since I used a ready-made toy as a base, I could only make my eyes move at that time. The ears and mouth were firm. Also the head shape of the toy was not quite as authentic - so I now want to make a head out of silicone myself.
Since I have already built the transport ball for my first Grogu, it makes sense to choose a different setup for the second version. Current favorite is a control panel like in season 3 of the series, which is used to control the converted version of IG12.
Of course, in order for everything to be correct, I first need a plan 😉 :
This blog article will therefore be divided into several parts and will be supplemented over time, depending on how far I get with the project.
