I haven’t seen it noted anywhere before, but there seem to be 3 different molds
used to make functionally different versions of this part, the 2x2x2 round robot
body (R2-D2 body):
The difference is in how the center hole at the bottom of the part is treated:
- Type 1: The hole is a simple tube (this is the official L-Draw part),
- Type 2: The hole is a Technic cross axel receptor, old type, lined up so that the + of the axel points to the spaces between the studs, like a “+”.
- Type 3: The hole is a Technic cross axel receptor, new type, lined up so that the + of the axel points 45 degrees off center, at the center of the studs, like an “X”.
Obviously you can build different things with the different versions of this
part - has anyone noticed this before and/or have any idea what sets have what
versions?

| Matt, Do you have pics of the other types? Meanwhile, I'm going to search my stuff (or rather, my 9 year old will do it for me) to see how many I have of each type. James Wilson Dallas, TX (20 years ago, 23-Mar-05, to lugnet.parts, FTX)

| (...) Matt, I've incountered the later two at about a year ago. I was mounting 4 in black of these on axels, and one was rotated 45 degrees. I never checked for part numbers. Mat (20 years ago, 23-Mar-05, to lugnet.parts, FTX)
