BB.8

IntroductionCongratulations on your acquisition of a BB.8 Astromech Droid from Industrial Automaton. As you have opted to supply your own head unit and to assemble the droid yourself, please follow the instructions below carefully to ensure many years of loyal, trouble-free service.Design ConceptBB.8 is a speaker mount for an Amazon Echo Dot in the shape of BB8.This is designed for the 4th and 5th Generation Echo Dot Speakers. The Glacier White colour is recommended to best suit the stock BB8 colour scheme, but with these files you can create your own unique BB.8 and use any colour Echo Dot you want. As an example, in the supplied pictures I only have a black Echo Dot and opted to print the eyes in white and use a black base. Who is going to be the first to create something new, maybe an all black with red accents "BB.8 Sith edition"?
