Description

This is my own work, originally uploaded to Printables.

This spooky spider is fully articulated and can even dangle from a web of filament! Great for Halloween decorations, party favors, or just to play with at your desk.

Instructions

The included 3MF file has all the parts you will need, or you can print individual parts with the quantities called out in the file names. Print the eyes separately if you'd like them to be a different color (no MMU/AMS needed).

💡 TIP: Start by printing just one set of leg parts for a test fit. If the joints are too tight or too loose, you can adjust the fit with the “XY size compensation” setting in PrusaSlicer (or the equivalent in your slicer of choice).

💡 TIP: The eyes into the carapace may be a tight fit. If needed, you can reprint the eyes with an X-Y contour compensation of -0.1mm for a looser fit.

Recommended print settings

Material	PETG, ABS, or ASA for best results PLA is okay but may be tougher to assemble and will get floppy over time.
Layer height	0.15 mm
Infill	10-20% rectilinear
First layer speed	25% of default
Supports	None
Brim	None (may be needed in case of poor bed adhesion)
Additional settings	✅ Print external perimeters first

Once the parts are printed, assemble them as shown below. All parts should snap-fit into place, no glue needed.

💡 TIP: The moving joints need to be “broken in” to smooth out imperfections in the print. Just move them back and forth a few times as you assemble them.

And just like that, your articulated spider is complete! Have fun posing and displaying it however you like. You can even insert some 1.75mm filament into the abdomen to have your spider dangling from a web! (How's that for “silk” PLA?)

Used fuzzy skin for the body and it went good. A lot of after-print finishing is needed, as the eyes do not perfectly fit to the head and many parts broke while attaching to each other. I had to repeat printing of some parts, but still a good model to go to. Kids love it and use it often as a toy and a fake pet to scare adults :-D

How do I do the fuzzy skin?

Replying to @McDees2009 :

it is an optional setting in bambu studio. Look into tab OTHERS, special mode, fuzzy skin. I used 'contour' only.

Very cool model. I had a slight issue with the connection points for the pedipalps on the main body being very brittle and snapping off. I’m guessing it was just a fluke or maybe the filament I used. I reprinted the body section with more walls and a bit more infill. That seems to have done the trick. I just realized the pedipalps are upside down in the pic lol.

Very well made and it was fun to assemble, and now to haunt the house 🤷

First time I printed it, some pieces fell off the bed, but a redo was all I needed. I used PLA, which I now regret, and a few of the legs have fallen off (two to be exact). Also, the eyes barely fit together, so something you could do is make a model where you could glue on the eyes or maybe an AMS compatible version. Still works well, just don’t be afraid to use some force.
