Realistic Tarantula 3D print model

This 3D model represents a highly realistic tarantula, designed for collectors, educational projects, and tabletop gaming. The figure captures the distinct features of a tarantula, including the robust body, articulated legs, and fine textural details across the carapace and limbs. The natural resting pose makes it ideal for dioramas, display, or as a reference piece for painting.

The model comes in both textured (OBJ + MTL) and non-textured (STL, 3MF) formats, providing options for those using color 3D printers as well as standard monochrome prints. All body parts, edges, and tips are clearly visible and separated for ease of painting or digital rendering.

The base sculpt was generated with the assistance of AI tools and then carefully refined and detailed by hand in Blender and other 3D editing software for optimal printability and natural appearance.

1. Technical Features and Printing Recommendations:Recommended Scale: 80–100 mm body length (can be scaled as desired)

Supports Needed: Yes, for legs and abdomen (especially with FDM printers)

Recommended Layer Height: 0.1–0.2 mm

Infill: 10–20% for a lightweight but sturdy model

Suggested Materials: PLA, PETG, or resin for fine details

Estimated Print Time: 2.5–5 hours, depending on size

Material Usage: 30–50g at standard scale

Scaling Note: This model is designed in millimeters (mm). If it appears too small when imported into your slicer, ensure your software is set to mm units. If needed, scale the model up 100x if the slicer defaults to meters instead.

Please note that the model is primarily designed for textured versions (OBJ + MTL in ZIP archive), allowing for a rich and visually detailed result when used with color-supported 3D printing or digital rendering. The non-textured version (STL, 3MF) may lack some surface details visible in the textured formats.
