articulated spider - filament hinges

April 9, 2025
Description
A cool looking spider with hinges that uses filament
tips:
- cut the filament at a 45-degree angle before inserting
- while inserting the filament twist it and make sure it is as tight as possible
printing tips:
- print the legs at 100% infill
- use the highest quality to have a sturdy spider
parts:
- x8 the end part of the leg
- x8 the middle part of the leg
- x8 the first part of the leg
- x10 the connection type 1
- x10 the connection type 2 piece (or 20 pieces with the split piece)
- x2 jaw pieces
- x1 the main body
- x1 the upper body (or 2 pieces with the split piece)
side note, you can also use a different color filament for the hinges to add some color
also check out my other models like the Apollo 11 lunar lander that I made
and if the filament you're using doesn't fit (too loose) I suggest playing with the scale
