Description

A REMIX KEY-CHAIN VERSION CAN BE FOUND HERE: https://makerworld.com/en/models/502493

This articulated jumping spider comes in two versions.  The first is a single model with eyes. The second version has eye holes and you can either print the eyes separate in a different color or use flat-back beads.

You will notice that both models have a small hook near the butt so that you can make these into key chains or hang them.  

The models also will show 3 disc shapes near the legs.  These are 1 layer high.  If you use a brim ( which I recommend) these discs will help create a stronger brim to hold the legs securely while printing.  (see picture)

If someone wants a version without the discs, let me know but I think most people will find them useful.  Alternatively you could lower the model into the build plate by your layer thickness and they would disappear.

As for scaling.  This model can be shrunk a little bit but I would recommend looking at your slicer to see when the parts start fusing to determine how small you can print.

This model is 100% my own creation and I give the following permissions:

well it wasn't intended to be printed that small. Though I did see someone printed one at 40%. At that size, some parts of the links are only 2 lines wide. So I wouldn't suggest printing that small. Tho it does look very cute that small.

I was the one who uploaded the 40% print profile version. I have successfully printed this a few times without any problems. I can also see in the statistics of the profile (don't know if you can do that too?) how many have already printed it out and who has reported back that it worked. Some have also posted pictures of the 40% version. In fact, the first time I loaded your stl, as no printer profile was available yet, I had problems figuring out how big the model was supposed to be. When I load it into Bambu Studio, it is much too big (80x80x31) for a key chain like you describe it. I can only recommend that you upload it yourself with a printer profile. :)

I do not have a bambu printer so that is why i did not post a profile. I was definitely surprised and a bit impressed that you successfully printed it so small. Also I would have made the butt loop larger if I had known people were going to print it smaller. Do you think I should upload one with a bigger thicker loop for making into keychains?

this printed remarkably well and for a simple design it will offer a lot of amusement. I am glad the joints were created strong enough to modify down to 40 %...a lot of models joints fail when getting that small

When I first started printing (just about a year ago) I had a hard time getting articulated models to print correctly. Most fused. And I hadn't yet figured out how to tune my printer. I wanted to make something that even people new to printing or using a less precise printer could still get a decent print with. I thought the larger joints might make it ugly but no one seems to mind. Great color choices btw. Is the striped filament you used Amolen? I used Sunlu in mine but they are similar.

There is a brand I found on Amazon that sells one specific striped filament that you might like. The brand is "colorful" which makes it near impossible to find from searching. The color though is unique and no one else sells it and it's fabulous though a little pricey. The title on amazon is "COLORFUL Silk PLA 3D Printer Filament, Shiny Multicolor Rainbow PLA Filament, Fast Color Change 3D Printing Filament 1kg Spool/2.2LB, PLA Filament 1.75mm, Gold Fuchsia Black"

it looks like you printed without the brim and the model came unstuck. I suggest loading the STL directly and make sure you have "brim" enabled. There are extra discs that will connect and make it stick better. I also suggest printing a bit larger size than 60% if you still have issues. But I think at 60% scale it is definitely too small to print without a brim for most printers.

My Autistic son loves his spider and loves to give away the spiders to other kids like him, so thank you very much for posting the model, Also the model was easy enough for me to go in a tinker with (I colored in the eyes..lol), but still detailed enough to look good. It was the perfect first model for someone like me, who knew and still knows nothing about 3D printers, but doesn't want to print just anything. So again, thank you.

This is the first thing I ever tried to print with my 3D printer. I just got it a week ago. I went all in and decided to blow the model up a bit and try to print 16 on the plate. ( just seeing what I could do, and learning the program). I have a Bambu X1- Carbon printer. It printed all 16 with no mistakes. I have reprinted them 4x and still no mistakes, My autistic son likes to give the spiders away to kids he sees as a way to talk to new people and just because. He left one at the store where we bought the printer on accident, and I saw it by the register 2 days later when I went to buy more filament. I have told everyone who asks where to find your model, it's by far the cutest spider I have seen. My son and I have moved on to other models, but he religiously carries his spider around with him still 7 days later. so thank you for posting the model on here.

Thanks for your kind words. Its great to hear so many people have found the model to be easy to print and like the design. My goal with this model was to make it easy to print for newbies (myself included). Happy printing!

Had bed adhesion issues 2 times for the legs. Needs a little more brim. Anyway, nice model

I noticed on some print profiles that the discs I added to help with adhesion were removed. Just double checking that you used the stl file that has the extra discs for helping it to adhere. When I was first testing this I kept having them fail. Basically the legs were warping a bit and getting knocked over. I figured out the cause. It was a setting for filling small volumes with solid infill. I had changed it for a moth model I printed where the antenna kept breaking off and forgot to switch it back. But having solid infill for small parts will increase warping and fails. Thought I would mention in case this was your issue. Also the smaller you print, the slower you need to go. i also had to slow down to around 45mm/s for the eyes at 100% scale, or they tended to get messy and pull up fast.
