What this video covers
Part 2 of VanOaksProps' BD-X droid build focuses on painting and final assembly of a 3D-printed replica inspired by Galaxy's Edge. The creator walks through a multi-step paint process using MTN 94 spray paints to achieve the droid's signature color scheme, then assembles the printed components using screws, CA glue, and wire loom. The 3D model files are a community-designed work in progress available through MrBaddeley Printed Droids on Patreon. The video is sponsored by JLC3DP, which supplied printed parts for the build.
Key takeaways
- ◆Multi-stage spray painting with MTN 94 colors brings the BD-X droid's look to life
- ◆Assembly relies on socket cap screws, CA glue, and split wire loom for clean finishing
- ◆3D model files were designed by a community team and are accessible via MrBaddeley's Patreon
- ◆This is Part 2, so viewers should watch Part 1 for the printing and prep stages
