It’s been a week and a half, and a few things have been changed/added:

Inner Socket- I added material to house the servos, removed the circles on the exterior (Which were going to be used to hold connectors for the Sides. I had the idea to use Heavy-Duty Velcro instead.), and I removed a small bit of material from the very back so the plug would fit in properly.

Sides- The Handle Mounts were modified for a new solution to their movement that I found. I went to a local RC Hobby Shop and found some Half-Shaft Universal Joints made by Traxxas that are the perfect size for connecting the servos to the handles while still allowing the Faceplate to move.

Handles- I added a small hole to connect them to the movement shaft. I also added material to simulate the cushion on the Handles.

Faceplate- I added material to house the Eyelid Servos and smoothed out some of the material.

Eyelids- I made them! They’re designed to sort-of lock into each other to save on space.

Cosmetic Trim- I made the rings that go around the Handle Mounts, as well as the plug-in port on the front near his eye.

Back Connection Plug- This is just a solid plug that hides the charge port. It’s designed to look like Wheatley’s plug.

I’m getting closer and closer to being done with the 3D design! It’s exciting!
