Ever since Star Wars: The Force Awakens came out to theaters,
I've always wanted to make a model of the new droid, BB-8!
I've always wanted to make a model of the new droid, BB-8!
After modeling the droid and 3D printing it, a friend suggested I mass produce them.
So during my free time, I made a cast out of the 3D print, which was challenging since PLA isn't a flexible material and I had to carefully take it out of the plaster mold.
Slips were poured into the mold and out several times and I was able to make a few dozen of them.
With too many BB-8s to take care of, I decided to give them to close friends and see how they do.
The BB-8s are numbered and are sent to their new owners. The owners took a photo of the droid in their house and send it to me, so I know they arrived safe.

There are still a few droids waiting for new homes and others that I'm still waiting to hear back from.
Hopefully all of them will be sent to a loving family!
