- 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.

Funny to watch how quickly you rocked this project. I remember watching way back when you were building your first BB-8 and all the trial and error as you built the next 2 as well. Cool to see 3D pieces that I saw you design from scratch show up without a thought in this build. Your ball droids have come a long way since some ball bearings inside and empty shell and the head doing the driving, haha. Congrats.
I remember discovering this channel back when he made BB-8 V1 and I was thinking "man that's kind of a primitive design, but impressive how he manages the head to stabilize while also driving". Then came Version 2 and 3 and I was blown away and since became a fan and subscriber
Gained a sub brah.

The engineering in these 2 videos is mind blowing. You breeze over it like it's common knowledge but I can hardly keep up with just the 3D printing and modeling. James, I am really blown away...
You should sell electronics, software and 3D files. I would totally buy them from you.
This guy is amazing. He has so many skills. I hope people appreciate how amazing it is that he does electronic engineering, software engineering, mechanical engineering, product design, CAD, and the craftsmanship.
12:15 BB-9E looks a bit drunk!🤣
This is really awesome! It's super cool to see how you've learned from and improved on your previous BB droid builds.
You're saying if I build a BB-9E, I don't have to mow my lawn for a year? Sign me up!
OMG LETHAL ENGINEERING IM A BIG FAN!!!
you mean forever
Really impressive James! It's great fun to watch your creative problem solving. And I very much look forward to seeing how you might further improve the head movement in future sphere droid builds. Top job!
Love the gloss on it, makes it look very realistic and sci fi
I am amazed at your engineering skills and knowledge!
I remember watching your Ironman videos and now I have returned to see your bb unit builds, which I must say are fantastic!!!
Pretty cool. Good job. Thank you for sharing.
This is a seriously impressive project. Nicely done. I'm sure it's much more complex than what we're seeing.
This is my first time watching him and I love it.
You have constantly improved your robotics knowledge. This impresses me.
Nice update to the design. I am a little sad that it can't turn in place, but maybe the next version will be able to.
and since it has problems with flat turain maybe some way to either dynamics or with like a option on the controller to change the torq like the 4wd gear in a car
My name is Kayden
Best droid project to date. love it!
Great video James, your a very clever man.
Troy Snaith YOU’RE not.
Please take this to a beach, I’d love to see this drive on the dunes....
coolest project ever!!!
Congratulations for your project!
Always love these kinds of robots
Really look forward to your new videos. My favourite channel
You are Incredible...Congrats! Disney should be calling on your talents for the future movies.
I like all your creations, congratulations
I lost track of your channel when you where working on the old one and didn't have it working yet. Glad I found you again.
This is straight up brilliant.
Your work and videos really satified me
Great job!!! We want more!!!!
Awesome work 😎
A fantastic build.
Awesome job !
imagine mass producing this and racing droid will initiate
The racing of millenium
No se porque que me hago el gringo
or adding a raspberry pi and some tracking software and a camera in the head so you can set it to follow you around... this way you can walk your droid without a controller...
from there we just need to add a few voice commands and what not...
great job james
Cool project very nice.
wow, this is freaking cool!
I really enjoy your videos james :)
YOU’RE A BEAST, DUDE
Lol @ 12:14, your droid needs to lay off the sauce. Amazing work, James. 10/10.
Inspiring work! :)
That droid looks amazing! I would love to see you do something crazy like outfitting a BB type droid with something like a kinect to build a map of the world around it, so that it can then autonomously navigate within a "known" volume of space.
An omnidirectional camera could be fun too. Then it could do things like record 360 degree video when you take it to exhibitions. :D
I wish I was even 10% as productive as this guy is
Beautiful Droid would luv to have one
Ohhhh It is so great...
your video are just so satisfying!
This man is a legend
You should make one with a clear shell so we can see the amazing feat of engineering powering this thing! I would love to see a droid like this with clear polycarbonate shell or similar material.
AWESOME!!! 😁 Now add in some coils so you can do wireless charging. Put the coils on the sides where the cross member supports are so you can just park it to start charging. Then you'd only need to open it to replace worn out parts. Probably could go years without issues! 😎
A far better design than your previous droids.
I agree, but I wish the videos for this one were much more detailed like the other ones. I really enjoyed watching the process take place over a long period of time and extra detail it adds.
Very Nice project man. Congratulations from Brazil - Parana state - Araucaria city
Unbelievable I thought it was actually cg in the movie. Well done
Dude is talented! Wow.
Would it be possible to make the ball in 2 halves with a very thin seen line kept together with your strong magnets.Then you wouldn’t have to worry about the panels and the paint job could be offset to make it look like it’s not 1 axis?
Stuff like this inspired me to get my engineering degree, I’m in my third year, currently loving every horrifying minute haha
Excellent job. Well done....I’m envious of your build and brain power...perhaps a force beit light or dark may help!! 🤔😈😊
Wow - amazing work Mr. Bruton. I loved your BB-8's, and this is just so much above and beyond even the BB-8 v3 in terms of elegant, functional design. I like (and miss) the flywheel element of 8v2 and 8v3, but being able to keep everything so streamlined internally is amazing. Any chance you'll be releasing the STLs and code for this one?
Just saw you on the one show.
Was pretty damn cool
These droid videos are AMAZING. Though, I would like to see some wifi integration.
Really wish I was smart enough to do something like this. Would be so cool to have my own little droid buddy.
Are the 3d printed files for this version of the droid available for download via patreon/any other means?
You sir, are a genius.
Whenever you go to the actual movie, in a theater, you need to bring it, but use some remote you control with your hand or a glove. That would be awesome.
Was this easy for you what with all the experience you have by now? Because you made it look easy in the videos xD
you can up the resolution when you create your STL files and that will get rid of the faceiting when you print it
itll save you a bunch of finishing work
Isn't that droid in Star Wars CGI ? I mean this is quite incredible, you've turned sci-fi fiction into a practical reality, what next, a laser blaster ? Far out and awesome.
So what did you spray it with at the end there to make it glossy? That was really the part I was most interested in, since the finished surface looks so nice
Great Job James. Will you be releasing .stls, parts list from ebay and build guides for this epic droid
Genius!
Fam I was sent by the hacksmith nice to see you and him in London by the way
제임스버튼. 당신의 창의력이 항상 똑같은 일상과 지친 몸을 이끌고 집으로 돌아가는 나에게
희망의 빛처럼 열정을 가지게 하네요. 멋지시고, 존경합니다^^
very inspirational
Hello, I love your inventions. I would like to know what is the name of that rubber wheel that you put on the BB9E
I would like to see a video of you driving it around. Maybe test it's top speed?
Great video, I only wish you extended the videos a little more ☺️. That way we could have seen a little more detail of what took to make this.
Why didn't you offset the spots on the outside of the ball like you did last time. Now when the ball rolls it's obvious that it's only got that 1 axis
He still did very well!
there are TWO main types of drive systems, the direct drive like on this droid where it is physically attached to the inner wall of the sphere, and there is the "Hamster Ball" type drive, where the drive itself is free rolling inside, each type has it's positives & negatives...
: +more torque, +more stable drive over irregular surfaces, +vertical axis head control, not just horizontal rotation / -more complicated programming, -heavier, -more costly, -more complicated, -less operational time between charges
*
: +less complicated programming, +less costly, +less complicated, +lighter, +more operational time between charges, / -less stable over irregular surfaces, -less torque, -only horizontal spin for head
*
Direct Drive systems are better for more experienced and better access to funding
Hamster Ball drives are better for first time and/or inexperienced in electronics and those who are not well funded
You could put flywheels(gyroscopes) under the battery, and it will be way more stabile, and if you want some bobing , that can be solved by software
To be honest, this droid is a lot cooler than the tie fighter. Gotta work on C3PO next xD
11:57 LOL! I couldn’t stop laughing once I realized it looks like he’s wandering around the room drunk! 😂
Wow. Truly amazing, I'd love to have one of them. I wonder if they are for sale??
Very nice robot and good design. Do you publish the files like your BB-8 robots? I like to build one and the new design seems to be less complex in the inner side
8:56 that thing behind him on the right looks like the back tube-things from a Xenomorph. Coolio.
It is actually
@@disrespecc9678 what for real!? Haha niiiice! Right on friend!
Fantastic job, James! You 'upgraded' your rebuild of BB-8 by offsetting the tracking--to make it appear that it could roll in any direction (and not always across the same four circular panels). Did you not do this this time due to time constraints? Incredible design! I wondered if it is feasible to make a build with no set tracking (actually rolls in all directions).
how did you filtered the accelerometer and gyroscope (and the fusion ones if any) signals to get somewhat smooth and steady angles even on the bumpy grass?
Idea? Maybe put a blue tooth gps on so unit will follow you at a fixed distance. That would be cool in a con type setting.
I'm really interested to learn more about why you have side to side stability reversed after adding the head. I think most builders even with the head are still having it follow the body. Did you do this with your BB-8 v3 as well, or was that something new? Also, what was happening before you switched it?
using a car wax on it willl shine up the paint job to a really high gloss. I'd wax it, wait a day, then wax again and it'll be super high gloss finish for you
Awesome work! Is it possible to share your 3D printing files of your drive and some of your arduino coding? Or is these build similar to the bb8-Build and are these files available to download?
James, are you ever going to build a C-3PO or some sort of proticall droid? you now have an astromeck, 2 bb units, ultron and a walking robot.
Will you be making another marvel related build in future
What product did you apply to give it such a nice gloss?
Can I have the print files, the part list, the electronic stigmatic , and the code so I can build on myself and nice job on the build and video
Not including print time, how long did the project take?
I want one!
You got 270 views in 57 second you are the best
Have you considered making a fully functional AT-AT (smaller size obviously) Would it be possible? How about AT-ST?
You're amazing.
Can it turn to left or right, or can it just go backward/forward ?
Are the plans available? Darth Vader kept asking about getting some plans or other. Maybe he was talking about these?
you deserve 1m subs
James you should make a dalek
