Articulated tarantula spider

Last crawled date: 4 years, 3 months ago

An articulated spider, inspired by inspecting https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1760063 from owtcydur. I actually used the "feelers" from his model, and created a new design for your printing pleasure. Note that a "Spider_Extra_Joint" exists, as an option to print, and to add if you desire to your leg parts. I decided not to use them in my final assembly, as they didn't really add anything in my opinion. Also, there are long, short legs, and legs with bumps (for texture). Use whatever you like most. Long look good in the front and/or rear.
The model is fairly large (as you can see from the pictures), so feel free to shrink a little if you want. The only concern would be that if you shrink too much the joints are not as strong. The copper print was 60% of original size, and a couple joints broke. With super glue in those couple spots, worked fine though. 75% would probably be as small as you should make it (I can only speak for an Ender 3 with a good filament).
Enjoy!
