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.
"Aren't they awesome? Can you tell which one is the real one?"
"Haha yeah they're really wait what"
The black widows really get that screamish response that most bugs don't give me. There's something about that red on black that hits my primal buttons in a tizzy
The only other bugs that get me like that are the too many (more than eight legs) bugs. Milli/centipedes
Oh good their markings are working then
It's cool that you got into 3D printing, Satan
Nice. I hate it.
Omg those look so real. Ugh.... The legs are perfect. I hate it. Great job.
Redbacks? If you're deploying these in Australia then that is just evil.
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.
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 😎
Nice! Hope you have insurance to pay for all those heart attacks you'll be causing
Saw ~~brown recluses~~ black widows in had, didn't read title. You scared the everliving fuck out of me lol
Edit: wrong spider, duh lol
Black widows, not brown recluses
That's what I meant, oops lol
You nearly gave me a heart attack as i was scrolling. Safe to say, great job OP
I hope you've got good insurance, because someone is gonna burn down your house when they see these.
TIHI!
Thanks, I hate it.
Fuck
You
Wow well done! Freaks me out just looking at the pic.
Mix a couple into the candy bowl!
Wow, these are great resolution!
These make me squirm. Good work.
This picture scared the fuck out of me.
Did you hear about the spiders in one of the ig Nobel prize winners?
Things getting creepy and crawly this year,
Am I the only one who has nightmares of someone else throwing a handful of spiders at them? It's not always spiders, but just for some reason, I've had recurring dreams of someone throwing creepy-crawlies at me. Just an irrational fear of mine, perhaps?
My recurring nightmare is my old school calling and telling me I only passed the final exams due to a grading mistake of theirs. Then they tell me, I have to take the final year again and I have to go back to school.
I graduated in 2007.
You get those too? I get a variant where I missed going to a class I forgot about and now I might not graduate unless I go back and finish.
I get that variant as well lol
It's always French class...
Fuck you
Life-like. Except for the dead one.
Which ironically makes them all look more life like
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!
Throw them at people like pocket sand
Was this in PLA?
Yup, printed in white then painted 👍
Looks like resin printing
Awesome, thx for sharing!
I just killed about that many real Black Widow's in my yard.
Well, that explains the fire...
