  • How I built my Star Wars BB-9E Droid from Star Wars The Last Jedi ,which was used in the video last week with Colin Furze and his life-sized Kylo Ren's TIE Silencer. This video is sponsored by eBay. Check out last week's video to see BB-8E in action: • Epic Stars Wars Projec...
    This Star Wars BB-9E builds is similar to my BB-8 Build, but was designed to have enough traction to drive on grass. All the parts were purchased on eBay so I used 3D printing for all of the custom cosmetics and mechanics.

    Nicely done. Your BB designs have improved immensely from the earlier versions.

      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.

    Astounding James, simply astounding

    That drive Wheel is a brillant design, big motor with not that much space used will keep that in mind

    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!

    Awesome stuff. Nice to see the full power of 3D design and printing being used.

    Haven't seen one of your videos for a while so this build is an amazing come back

    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.

  • @weirdlines4465
    @weirdlines4465 Před 6 lety

    The effort you put into this is extremely impressing me

    This whole thing looks so slick, a really refined mechanism. Great to see!

    @mtsb6285 Před 6 lety

    And it's a BB-9E for real! Loved it.

  • @Rotoscoptic
    @Rotoscoptic Před 2 lety

    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!

  • @jimwilliams1536
    @jimwilliams1536 Před 6 lety

    So cool. Love the ball design. Really strong.

  • @VeggeMight

    Wow this droids inside is so tidy its beautiful you've learnt a lot from your other builds.

  • @wachutalkinboutbitch
    @wachutalkinboutbitch Před 6 lety

    Wow that internal motor/wheel combination is ingenious. Even this droids mechanics belong in the star wars universe. Amazing work!

  • @patjackmanesq
    @patjackmanesq Před 6 lety +57

    Aah, a video like the old days! And very nicely done. Really neat. Well done, James, most enjoyable...

  • @stuchly1
    @stuchly1 Před 6 lety

    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.

    so smart to use the batteries that power it as the weight to move it. Super well designed

    That's so awesome James! After watching your BB8 series this seems like a cinch... I really like that friction welding trick!!

  • @bummer6
    @bummer6 Před 6 lety

    the friction welding was an awesome idea! I've never seen that done before. I need to try that myself.

      I'm pretty sure they are both cim motors so Yes

    @stormtrooperguy Před 6 lety

    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!

  • @RusZekMan
    @RusZekMan Před 6 lety +14

    Have you thought about how to make this project open source?
    I would really like to repeat this project.

  • @paulb4334
    @paulb4334 Před 6 lety

    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

    this is the first video I ever saw on your channel.
    I found collin furze from a video of top 10 inventions on CZcams, then came here from the tie fighter build.
    that was a while ago,I thought I'd revisit this build.
    brings back memories😊

    Welding gaps in 3D prints with a dremel and a bit of filament... that's a brilliant idea.

    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

    @Scott_C Před 6 lety

    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.

  • @RCLoversan
    @RCLoversan Před 6 lety

    I thought you have used the previous BB-8 motor unit for BB-9E, instead, you have made a better one. Amazing job!

  • @SquirrelyChaos
    @SquirrelyChaos Před 6 lety +1

    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

    • @SquirrelyChaos
      @SquirrelyChaos Před 6 lety

      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

  • @Oozywolf
    @Oozywolf Před 6 lety

    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!

    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?
