Making BD-1 From Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order - Prop Making

The other day, my son came to me and asked: "Dad, can we build a robot and make a video together?" How could I say no to that. So we decided to 3D print a robot and then finish it together. We started by searching for a cool looking robot on thingiverse and we decided to go for BD-1 from Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order.
Here is the link to the file we used: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3683124

We printed all the parts on my Ender 3 pro. After a quick check, I realised it was not absolutely perfect so I used super glue, body filler and mastic spray to smooth all the parts and close some gaps. After some sanding and fine tuning of the legs, we were ready to assemble the body and the head. Then we painted all the parts white, then added the red, silver-grey and black.

All the build went pretty smoothly. I wanted to add some electronic in the head to put some LEDs and lights but Little Red wanted his robot to be done as soon as possible so we decided to go for the simplest version of BD-1. I also wanted to do some weathering but as it was a gift from my son, I respected his decision to "keep it clean'.

In the end, BD-1 turned out great even if it's not perfect. I really like the look of it and my son is super happy, which to me, is the most important. I personally had a great time building it with my son and I think he did it too. This was my first 3D printed project and I'm sure I've made a lot of mistakes (like painting the parts after assembly) but I also learnt a lot and I'm sure I'll make more in the future.
