BB-8 ball
thingiverse
This is an 8-inch diameter sphere made to resemble the panels of BB-8. The circular panels have been engineered to twist and lock into place, much like a hamster ball. I created this design for my Mini BB-8 project, which can be seen in more detail here: https://youtu.be/vd2mZncEiBc. To produce the sphere, you will need to print six circular panels and four triangular panels. Although I haven't yet printed all of the necessary pieces, the mechanism appears to work well after some sanding. I designed this project using SolidWorks, and if you'd like me to post the original files, please leave a comment below.
