BB-8 (or Beebee-Ate) is a droid character in the Star Wars franchise.
He appeared in the three films of the sequel trilogy, Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015), Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017), and Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker (2019).
Spherical with a free-moving domed head, BB-8 is portrayed by both a rod puppet and a remote-controlled robotic unit.
The character has been well received by critics and fans, and has become one of the most beloved and recognizable characters of the Star Wars saga in recent years.
I've created two versions of this model.
The first is the fully assembled model (BB8_Complete) where you can print it in one go.
The second version will allow you to print 3 individual parts (head, body, and base), reducing the amount of support needed.
Note: Just a friendly reminder, but these files are not colored. The cover image is just a concept for the final design.
The duck dimensions are the following (mm):
Height- 187
Width- 196
Depth- 196
Sculpting software used: Blender
Render method used for the previews: Cycles
Filament: PLA
Slicer used to 3D print: Ultimaker Cura
Settings I've used to 3D print:
Standard quality - 0.2mm
Infill - 20%
Supports - You may need support for the bottom portion of the body. For the fully assembled version, you will also need them for the head.
Speed - 50% first 20 layers and 100% for the rest
Plate Adhesion - For the body, a brim or raft is advised.
Cooling - Enabled
Travel - Retraction Enabled
