BB-8, a beloved astromech droid from the Star Wars saga, captivates with its spherical design and endearing personality. Introduced in "The Force Awakens," BB-8 quickly became an iconic character, rolling into hearts with its chirps and expressive movements. Serving the Resistance alongside Poe Dameron, BB-8 displays remarkable loyalty and bravery, often saving the day with its resourcefulness and quick thinking. Its dynamic interactions with other characters showcase a blend of charm, wit, and unwavering determination, making BB-8 an unforgettable part of the Star Wars universe.

The filaments I've used are all Bambu Lab filaments. The parts that resemble the stained glass are printed in Translucent PETG Light Blue, Orange, Brown and Grey. Only the white parts are printed in a PETG that's not part of the translucent filament line. Those are printed in Basic PETG Transparent. The multicolor parts are printed using color change on layer to the filament Basic PETG Black.

The front and back frame are both printed in Basic PETG Black. All the other parts are all printed in Basic PLA. The box, lid and led panel or led strip holder are printed in the color black, the diffuser is printed in the color white.

The box and the lid have little compartments where you can glue in magnets (width 6mm & height 3mm) but this is optional and not needed to keep the lid on the box.
