BB-8 Holoprojector (27mm interior)

thingiverse

I've created a new version of my full-sized BB-8 build. The holoprojector features an accommodating 1" acorn capsule, specifically those used by vending machines that dispense them.\nThis design marks the third iteration and has earned my satisfaction. Save for the lens ring interior's numerous dimples required to match print resolution, it's much more precise than its predecessors.\nA key objective in crafting this project is clear: build everything from scratch and refine my modeling skills. Every part must be modeled or fabricated myself using basic materials – a task that sounds daunting but is essential for growth.\nThe models displayed are under constant revision as I experiment with the design on the actual prop, and any modifications may appear at a moment's notice.\nPrinter Specifications\nPrinter: Prusa i3\nRafts: No support\nSupports: No additional structures are required\nHow It Was Designed\n123D Design software was utilized.
