Adorable Star Wars BB-8 Droid brought to Life with 3D Printing
A software engineer in Canada recently created a 3D printed replica of the adorable BB-8 robot from the new star wars movie.
J.R Bedard was inspired to build his own version of the roly-poly robot after the real BB-8 droid.
The BB-8 bot that inspired Bedard is reminiscent of R2-D2, the oh so cute "astromech droid" with the beeping binary vocabulary that accompanies protagonists like Padme Amidala, Luke Skywalker, Obie-Wan Kenobi and Princess Leia throughout the "Star Wars" universe.
But unlike R2-D2, this new droid doesn't roll around on wheels in the film; it has a ball-shaped body that spins around, and up top it has a half sphere for a head. Attached to the body by magnets, the head wobbles adorably as the bot rolls over the ground.
