BB-8 ball

This is an 8-inch diameter sphere made to look like the panels of BB-8. The circle panels have been designed to twist to lock them in like a hamster ball. I designed this for a Mini BB-8 that I am building. I didn't have time to add any details so the ball can be used for other things as well. More information about that project can be found in this video:

To make the sphere you will need to print 6 of the circle panels and 4 of each triangle panel. I haven't printed all of the pieces yet, but so far the mechanism seems to work well after some sanding.

I designed this in SolidWorks. If you would like me to post the original files just leave a comment.
