RollDeBonz2112 Nah, the first one was perfect! But seriously, I thought the first one was so cool with just the head doing all the work. Now these things are seriously movie-ready. No way I'd second guess this on the Red Carpet.
This has been one of the most educational videos I think I've ever watched from you. Really love the mores struder. Hope some more cost friendly printers get set ups like it.
Hello, James. I love watching your builds/video. There’s something about them that keeps drawing be back time-after-time. Thanks for your work and sharing you knowledge!
That jig is such a simple solution to a potentially annoying problem, well done! 3D printing really is the future of prop building, very interesting to see a whole droid's body being made from filament. Fantastic!
Thanks for another extremely thorough and professional how-to walk-through! Lots of helpful tips here - often applicable too for modelmaking/engineering/crafts more generally.
James, so only one drive wheel? Why not a pair of mecanum wheels? You could also make the circle vent panels a twist lock so you don't need the internal brace. The head stick could be floating on a loose spline with a castor wheel or something on top since it would be pulled up to the head itself with magnets.
Hi James, very good job *respect* I have one question, exist a list of all the drive parts (like Amazonlist)? I have printed also the BB9, but I don't find any list for the drive ...
this is the first video I ever saw on your channel. I found collin furze from a video of top 10 inventions on TH-cam, then came here from the tie fighter build. that was a while ago,I thought I'd revisit this build. brings back memories😊
Mr. Bruton, an awesome job indeed, but is there a way you can post an itemized parts list as well as the files you used for the designs for the 3D printers? some of us have no idea how to do anything 3D printer and without mention of what type and sizes of the various parts, this will be a very difficult and overly costly project, also for those of us who are not well funded, can you assist please
Question about the circle panels. On the inserts for the circles, why did you align the seams in the same direction as the circles? Wouldn't it be a stronger going perpendicular to each other?
Well damn..I'm watching a video on how to make a Star Wars droid and inadvertently learn how to fix a leaking plastic car radiator with my Dremel tool and some filament :-0..Amazing lol. Great build on the BB-9E Droid btw, you are nothing less than brilliant Sir! :-)
I love pretty much everything about this video! The design of your sphere is awesome, I love the internal mechanics... and the idea of a square axel in a round hole made me smile. Thanks for sharing this!
I've been watching your BB-8 videos and was thinking that maybe instead of using the spinning ring of coins, maybe use weights that move side to side to tilt it, but my thoughts were of weights mounted on a rail that would slide left or right to tilt and thus turn, but I think your idea in this video is somewhat more elegant than mine, which I'm a huge fan of. Also, watching your videos has made me begin to convert my attic into a workspace, within which I'm going to build my first 3d printer and also get more involved in robotics, so thank you
James Bruton I appear to have missed that, although it does make a lot of sense now that you say that, I'll have a look :3 and absolutely, I plan to continue doing so
This is a much appreciated early Christmas gift! Your Iron Man Suit and the use of a LulzBot Taz printer is what brought me to your channel originally, though the BB-8 series kept me coming back and and got me to subscribe. It goes without saying, that I am very excited to see you've created another droid! Keep up the great work James! :-D
Brilliant James. Well done. I know building a BB style drone is your specialty but you really stepped up on this. I know you cut down quite a bit for brevity but you did a great job of hitting all the major notes. I love your design of the central wheel. It almost makes me think with your board designs you could build a mono wheel board.
Love this style. Unfortunately it means less problem solving week to week and less fan input. But the result is less parts and a more streamlined experience. Really cool to see SOOO much done in just one part. Very much looking forward to the next part!
Very clean and professional looking build, you clearly learnt a lot between V2 and V3! I notice there's no flywheel in this version though. Did you find that you rarely used the spinning-on-the spot feature?
Top job James Top job
Both!
colinfurze
Rydddddd
colinfurze
Haha u both are awesome
both of u are my inspiring me
Nicely done. Your BB designs have improved immensely from the earlier versions.

Aah, a video like the old days! And very nicely done. Really neat. Well done, James, most enjoyable...
Have you thought about how to make this project open source?
I would really like to repeat this project.
That drive Wheel is a brillant design, big motor with not that much space used will keep that in mind
Astounding James, simply astounding
Filament in a Dremel - best tip I've learned all week. Going to try that to fill the back gaps of a couple of my panels.
Hello, James. I love watching your builds/video. There’s something about them that keeps drawing be back time-after-time. Thanks for your work and sharing you knowledge!
Man, you are amazing! Thanks to such bright guys as you, we might finally start to see robots in everyday life!
That jig is such a simple solution to a potentially annoying problem, well done! 3D printing really is the future of prop building, very interesting to see a whole droid's body being made from filament. Fantastic!
It's great to see the improvements in your process over the V1 BB8
It's almost like a LEGO Technic set, the way everything fits together!
God, I love watching these.
Nobody who saw the previous bb 8 videos will doubt that this your original design but rather an evolution of those earlier models. very nice
Haven't seen one of your videos for a while so this build is an amazing come back
Wow that internal motor/wheel combination is ingenious. Even this droids mechanics belong in the star wars universe. Amazing work!
That drive motor and gearbox look like something straight out of a FRC robot. I like it!
I'm pretty sure they are both cim motors so Yes
Jayden Gaydosh yeah they are. You can see the andymark label.
Awesome stuff. Nice to see the full power of 3D design and printing being used.
And it's a BB-9E for real! Loved it.
Wow this droids inside is so tidy its beautiful you've learnt a lot from your other builds.
I find it most amazing how each iteration of this "ball droid" you have made so far has a different design of the internal mechanics.
The effort you put into this is extremely impressing me
so smart to use the batteries that power it as the weight to move it. Super well designed
This is amazing a definite improvement from your last B.B.8
Beautifully produced video, James! A pleasure to watch with the accelerated shots done expertly.
is the stl file for sale or on the web?
That's so awesome James! After watching your BB8 series this seems like a cinch... I really like that friction welding trick!!
Love the way you filled the gaps with the friction method
Can u give us the files for the 3D prints it is truly amazing and would love to print it!!!
YOU HAVE 3D PRINTER?!
@@CT7056 Lots of people have them, had mine for over 4 years, they've being affordable now for a long time
This is so cool!!!!!!! In part 2 can you leave a list of the parts bought on ebay and the files to the 3d printed part_
Thanks for another extremely thorough and professional how-to walk-through!
Lots of helpful tips here - often applicable too for modelmaking/engineering/crafts more generally.
Awesome video James! I love that even though this video is sponsored nothing about the video feels different from your normal content.
This whole thing looks so slick, a really refined mechanism. Great to see!
Wow you stepped your game up since I last bb8 droid. Awesome!
Welding gaps in 3D prints with a dremel and a bit of filament... that's a brilliant idea.
So satisfying seeing you spread the Wood fill + paint xD.
GREAT build!! I want to make one now xD
Excellent work, James! I can really see the progress you’ve made since BB-8. Keep being awesome!
Nice design! Looks like a mix of your track drive, a hamster drive and an axle drive. Traxter drive?
Hi rimstar org .......big fan and i really liked your built of bb8.
Btw why are not uploading videos ?? Really missing them...... :)
Traxler drrive
You and Colin never cease to amaze me and make me want to do what you do
I've watched other channels like this one but xrobots is a whole new level 🤓
James, so only one drive wheel? Why not a pair of mecanum wheels? You could also make the circle vent panels a twist lock so you don't need the internal brace.

Hi James, very good job *respect* I have one question, exist a list of all the drive parts (like Amazonlist)?
I have printed also the BB9, but I don't find any list for the drive ...
Good job James I might consider building this
I love the video. The Dremel filament trick is amazing, never thought about it, WOW.
this is the first video I ever saw on your channel.
I found collin furze from a video of top 10 inventions on TH-cam, then came here from the tie fighter build.
that was a while ago,I thought I'd revisit this build.
brings back memories😊
So how much filament would you say you got through printing the entire thing?
Mr. Bruton, an awesome job indeed, but is there a way you can post an itemized parts list as well as the files you used for the designs for the 3D printers? some of us have no idea how to do anything 3D printer and without mention of what type and sizes of the various parts, this will be a very difficult and overly costly project, also for those of us who are not well funded, can you assist please
at 6:46 why you didn't make the covers seams in the other direction? btw, this is another level stuff you're making here, just beautiful
Question about the circle panels. On the inserts for the circles, why did you align the seams in the same direction as the circles? Wouldn't it be a stronger going perpendicular to each other?
Thank you heaps for the friction welding idea its gonna be very helpful
500k subs!!! Well done James!
So cool. Love the ball design. Really strong.
Good job 👍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Wow James! Your best video yet! So much progress
"Stick welding" with filament = brilliant!
the friction welding was an awesome idea! I've never seen that done before. I need to try that myself.
That is brilliant, well done. Looking forward to the next instalment. 👍🏼😊
Well damn..I'm watching a video on how to make a Star Wars droid and inadvertently learn how to fix a leaking plastic car radiator with my Dremel tool and some filament :-0..Amazing lol. Great build on the BB-9E Droid btw, you are nothing less than brilliant Sir! :-)
14:59 is a bearing in hand worth two in a bushing?
You did an excellent job. Could you post files for the head?
Great job! looks very professional. Next thing you know Lucas Films will be asking you to build some for them.
I love pretty much everything about this video! The design of your sphere is awesome, I love the internal mechanics... and the idea of a square axel in a round hole made me smile. Thanks for sharing this!
do you know what motor he used?
Absolutely genius. Well done.
You so good at your job, it's very satisfying to watch your's videos ^^

Another brilliant video. Thanks James.
Hi James what kind of mass do you use for fill the filament gaps? Great Project you are awesome...
Awesome build and video
Great work 👍.
Can I know how much kg of filament was used in printing the whole droid ?
Inspiring work! :)
Any particular brand or type of wood filler that you used with the Acrylic paint (4:58)
Love this style. Unfortunately it means less problem solving week to week and less fan input. But the result is less parts and a more streamlined experience. Really cool to see SOOO much done in just one part. Very much looking forward to the next part!
James Bruton haha no problem, keep the suspense building ;). Awesome content as always. You deserve every sub 👍🏻
Which software do you used for designing?
great video :) it's fun to see the progress from the first BB-8 to this.
Did you ever put the cad plans up anywhere? Even for sale or something?
Hi James I seen you on Colin's video and thought you Darth ball robot was amazing 👏 I subbed definitely
Spectacular!
holy shit this is real engineering omg ! You could work for anyone on the planet !
Amazing how quickly you’ve made this robot. And you used an andymark cim motor
It's a good idea if you have the equipment
This is awesome! Hey, you got cadfiles for the sphere?
Luvly Art Work bro.
My brother has a life sized R4 unit, but it's not motorized sadly. He uses it as a corner table since it has the R2 serving platter from RoTJ
Using a dremel to fill some plastic in holes. What a smart idea.
You also can youse a 3d pen to fill in the gabs
Great build and nice paced video
Your killing me I need to see it working now. This instant
Very clean and professional looking build, you clearly learnt a lot between V2 and V3! I notice there's no flywheel in this version though. Did you find that you rarely used the spinning-on-the spot feature?
What is the advantaqge of making the panels in two pieces vs a single piece?
Also, what type of filament and glue are you using?
I thought you have used the previous BB-8 motor unit for BB-9E, instead, you have made a better one. Amazing job!
Are you using 80/20 parts? I love very close to where those are made!
Technical, good stuff.
James, superb work, as always.. Are files to print avaliable to the public ???
Do you have like patteon, where you have your 3d designs for members?
do you have a instructions and stl file's and componet list
i want maybe to build whon my self
Good evening, I have loved the work of this droid and I would like to acquire the 3D files ^^ where could I talk to you?
Which software did you use for the CAD design !?
