Here is a Thingiverse link

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.

"Aren't they awesome? Can you tell which one is the real one?"

"Haha yeah they're really wait what"

The black widows really get that screamish response that most bugs don't give me. There's something about that red on black that hits my primal buttons in a tizzy

The only other bugs that get me like that are the too many (more than eight legs) bugs. Milli/centipedes

Oh good their markings are working then

[–] [email protected] 48 points 2 years ago

It's cool that you got into 3D printing, Satan

[–] piradianssquared 32 points 2 years ago

Nice. I hate it.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 2 years ago

Omg those look so real. Ugh.... The legs are perfect. I hate it. Great job.

Redbacks? If you're deploying these in Australia then that is just evil.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

As an Australian I had a heart attack before I read the title.

You don't just pick up a handful of redbacks, you fool! You kill them with fire and sleep with one eye open for the next month!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

I had a teacher who like... owned or had something to do with running a store called Redback. Now that I think of it idk why he was a teacher with that kind of money. We found a redback in the classroom and he relocated it outside. Just in the yard. Where the children play.

Good times.

Don't worry, when I print them they will be left over white, left over Oreo, left over shiny blue, etc.

These guys are gonna look sick 😎

[–] [email protected] 22 points 2 years ago

Nice! Hope you have insurance to pay for all those heart attacks you'll be causing

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 years ago

You nearly gave me a heart attack as i was scrolling. Safe to say, great job OP

This picture scared the fuck out of me.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago

These make me squirm. Good work.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago

Wow, these are great resolution!

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago

Did you hear about the spiders in one of the ig Nobel prize winners?

Things getting creepy and crawly this year,

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago
[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Life-like. Except for the dead one.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Which ironically makes them all look more life like

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Unless it's playing dead, then it's not ironic because it looks very much like a living spider playing dead. Which also looks like a dead spider. Fancy that!

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Am I the only one who has nightmares of someone else throwing a handful of spiders at them? It's not always spiders, but just for some reason, I've had recurring dreams of someone throwing creepy-crawlies at me. Just an irrational fear of mine, perhaps?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

My recurring nightmare is my old school calling and telling me I only passed the final exams due to a grading mistake of theirs. Then they tell me, I have to take the final year again and I have to go back to school.

I graduated in 2007.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

You get those too? I get a variant where I missed going to a class I forgot about and now I might not graduate unless I go back and finish.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

I get that variant as well lol

It's always French class...

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Looks like resin printing

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

Awesome, thx for sharing!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I just killed about that many real Black Widow's in my yard.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

Well, that explains the fire...
