A simple droid build, orange caps hold two part base together. The uploaded size creates a 6ball, approximately 7.5 tall. Ball is hollow if anyone wishes to build electronics. Another one-off birthday present for my daughter who is in love with BB-8.
Print six Body_Caps and Body_Rings, print two Body sections. Body_Rings hold the two Body parts together, Body_Caps fit inside Body_Rings to hide seams. I was pleased with most of the fit but it did require some shaping and sanding. I recommend printing one Body_Ring and Body_Cap after you print the Body sections and adjust as necessary.
Credit for original design goes to Disney and Industrial Light and Magic (thank you for the inspiration!). 3D files were created in Cinema 4D based on visual interpretation of images posted on the web. The droid is not built to any specific scale, there may be differences in proportions from the screen versions of the droid, please accept these as is.
I've added a 'Light' version of the body file. If you don't need the spherical interior this file will reduce the amount of plastic used for the print.
I've had many compliments on the fit and finish of the parts, be forewarned that the tolerances can be tight. Everyone's printers have different capabilities. Gently warming the pieces with a heat gun can make things fit easier.
Let me know if you are interested in any other modifications!
