The stump model prints very well with my FDM printer, which would not be able to print spider legs at this scale, and I&#8217;m sure you can buy a whole bag of plastic spiders at a dollar store, so combining them together to get an inexpensive but great looking spider worked out very well.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.summet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/spider-side-view.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-5645\" src=\"https:\/\/www.summet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/spider-side-view-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"584\" height=\"584\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.summet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/spider-side-view-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.summet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/spider-side-view-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.summet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/spider-side-view-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.summet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/spider-side-view-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.summet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/spider-side-view-1536x1536.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.summet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/spider-side-view-2048x2048.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.summet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/spider-side-view-120x120.jpg 120w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 584px) 100vw, 584px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Here is a video talking about using the Heatgun to shape plastic:<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/EdOxGT9WigQ\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I was cleaning out my car and found a small toy plastic spider. \u00a0 I suddenly realized that if I were to hit it with a heat-gun, I could bend the legs into any pose I wanted. \u00a0 So I &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.summet.com\/blog\/2021\/12\/20\/stump-spider-tabletop-miniature-3d-printing-painting\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[144],"class_list":["post-5638","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-projects","tag-minifigs"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.summet.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5638","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.summet.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.summet.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.summet.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.summet.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5638"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.summet.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5638\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5788,"href":"https:\/\/www.summet.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5638\/revisions\/5788"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.summet.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5638"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.summet.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5638"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.summet.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5638"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
