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.

Thank you so much for the awesome response! You were able to confirm a few of my guesses how done things were done and also given me a few new things I can read more about.
After seeing the spiders and reading that mask thread, the print head retraction had me interested since I could apply some experience I did have, cake decorating, which thinking about it now, is fairly similar to 3D printing. You’ve got semi-solid but sticky ingredients, and the icing coming out doesn’t just stop and cut off cleanly when you pull back from what you’re working on. That’s immediately what I thought of with your spider legs and how I thought you used it to your advantage.
I find it so encouraging whenever I see this. It’s always easy to see someone’s end result and think that was just whipped out perfect on the first try. Most computer projects I do work this way, and I see lots of programming humor jokes that essentially say the same thing. “I’m not a good X, I’m a good Googler!”
Hah, I’m glad you have that a look! The fingers were my favorite part due to the higher ratio of crispy bits!
Thanks again for the great reply!
