Very well done!!

The bb8 builders club has a builders guide on the wiki. the facebook page is also excellent. I now have a rolling cart and body lights installed. He will debut at Beaumont children's hospital in 2 weeks.

More progress on BB-8. Drive system is installed. Just got the magnetic head mount to work. I need some tuning up before he can roll safely. He is on schedule to debut at Beaumont Children's visit.

All PLA. ABS warps too much. About 6 rolls for the body. I did not print the dome but that's probably 2 rolls. It matters how many shells and the percentage infill you use. Of course this includes the times I had failed prints. But this was my first project so I learned by trial and error. The bB8 b...

Yes. The sphere was 3D printed in my basement. Just ordered internal parts to hopefully get him rolling.
Thank you all for the nice comments.

BB-8 has been completed. At least the static portion of the build. I still plan to weather him and I will continue progress to have him fully robotic. http://i1255.photobucket.com/albums/hh630/kfeber/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_0072.jpg Click on Vimeo link to see him in action. https://vimeo.com/185092037/...

Here is a picture of my BB-8. Almost finished with the dome. Lights and sound module is currently on a loop until I figure out how to remotely control it. I plan to bring it to Maker Faire. http://i1255.photobucket.com/albums/hh630/kfeber/BB8/4611CE23-FAFE-4C8B-8831-84C67A55088E.jpg http://i1255.pho...

I have seen it twice. Loved it! Nothing will beat Star Wars and ESB but I think it falls in right after that. A great new beginning.

Awesome. New footage. Anyone know an English translation version.

I have been approved! SL-12421 is ready to serve.

I have moved closer to the dark side of the force. I have been working for quite sometime on ESB vader. Today, I received my last item. I still need to add the saber hook to the belt and hem the capes but here is Darth Faber. http://i1255.photobucket.com/albums/hh630/kfeber/IMG_0694.jpg http://i1255...

Is this idea dead? I am interested in participating. I can be a stormtrooper, I also can help shoot and edit. It is a great idea.

Greg,

Looks Great!! Thanks! Vimeo sometimes allows higher definition videos.

Looks great!!

I agree. I don't have much movement either. I always feel my bucket hit my chest plate when I look down too much. I am getting more used to the feeling, the more I wear the armor.

I just received my TK boots. They look great and are very comfortable. I would contact them ASAP as they just got in a shipment. It was a long wait but great customer service. Now all I need is my armor to arrive from AP.
