They are easy to print and can be shaped after for a realistic look. I used a .2 nozzle and dipped the legs in boiling water to bend them to shape.
It’s cool that you got into 3D printing, Satan
Designed these spiders for halloween!

Redbacks? If you’re deploying these in Australia then that is just evil.
navi@lemmy.tespia.org 6 months ago
Don’t worry, when I print them they will be left over white, left over Oreo, left over shiny blue, etc.
These guys are gonna look sick 😎

As an Australian I had a heart attack before I read the title.
You don’t just pick up a handful of redbacks, you fool! You kill them with fire and sleep with one eye open for the next month!

I had a teacher who like… owned or had something to do with running a store called Redback. Now that I think of it idk why he was a teacher with that kind of money. We found a redback in the classroom and he relocated it outside. Just in the yard. Where the children play.
Good times.

Nice! Hope you have insurance to pay for all those heart attacks you’ll be causing
capt_wolf@lemmy.world 6 months ago
I hope you’ve got good insurance, because someone is gonna burn down your house when they see these.

They look lovely. Life-like.
Saneless@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Which ironically makes them all look more like like
ObviouslyNotBanana@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Unless it’s playing dead, then it’s not ironic because it looks very much like a living spider playing dead. Which also looks like a dead spider. Fancy that!

Did you hear about the spiders in one of the ig Nobel prize winners?

Looks like resin printing
anon6789@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Haha, I love it!
I have zero experience with 3d printing, but I look at creative uses like this from time to time. After reading this mask printing post yesterday, are there any special considerations needed to be taken before printing tiny structures like those spider legs?
I see little spider “leg hairs” on some of them, and I think that really adds to realism of the spider, but would that be an issue in other prints?
If this is a really complicated answer, feel free to say so or if you can give me some technical terms for some of the potential issues, I have no problem googling them myself, I just wouldn’t know where to start on my own.
marcos@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Printing things is full of “special considerations”. Those are not outliers.
anon6789@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Yeah, it still feels like a bit too much material science knowledge is required for your average person. That’s what keeps me just watching you guys every time I get tempted to try it myself.
I do like learning about the different filaments and such though. I still find it very cool.
Etterra@lemmy.world 6 months ago
I know they’re widows, but spiders are done to death. Do wasps instead.
