Star Wars BB-8 Push-along

push along BB-8 toy.

uses two 10mm x 3mm n50 neodymium magnets, once the print is high enough place the magnet inside and let the print finish…. you can pause or throw it in as i did :)  

as you can see  from photos the magnets are enclosed inside which allows them to move around freely. (1 in body 1in head)

To move the BB-8 you need to hold onto his head and tilt the head back around 10-20 degrees back, and with his body on a good friction ground (like carpet) begin to move.

once you find the sweet spot his body will move and you can direct him.

Forgot to say have also added a swept back sand effect stand to place BB-8 for display when not used
