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.
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.
Edit: If you are into harmlessly creeping people out at Halloween, you may have interest in my Meat Hand Meatloaf I posted the other day. It's a zombie hand meatloaf, which is great looking in a terrible way also, like the spiders!
