Bb8 and bb9e build

Post by **Soda Can** » Mon Jul 16, 2018 2:00 pm

Here is the start of my other robot builds, I'm working on one of each of a bb8 and a bb9e.
I'm hoping to get my 3d printer soon a cr10s which should help out immensely.
So far the builds have been items purchased through the jakku junkyard of the bb8 builders club until I'm up and running.

WOW-o-WOW

Love them!!

What are you plans for them? Fully operational lights, sounds, drive system, etc. Or just static epic 1:1 bots?

I would like to have both full working units, but as these run at about 4KUSD each for full spec units I might just do the bb9e hopefully for the next premiere.
I'm looking to maybe do a slightly budget build bb8 which may be ok for general running around, hospital visits etc.
I currently have a spinmaster 1/2 size full working unit which is a great little run around and believe it or not my very first remote control toy.

Are they plastic or metal skins? (Either way, so cool!)

They are all 3d printed plastic, one club member is looking at injection molded plastic rubber, but the set up costs are quite expensive.
