Steampunk Orb Spider is an articulated, print in place, no supports model inspired by the Steampunk Sci-Fi Genre. The model is assembled from the 3d printed body and some additional parts consisting of:2 x 8 mm (or 5/16) diameter balls for large eyes4 x 4 mm (or 5/32) diameter balls for medium eyes2 x 2.5 mm (or 0.1) diameter balls for small eyes1 x 40 mm (or 1.6) diameter ball for Orb in abdomenIn my example prints I have used silicon nitride ceramic ball bearings for the eyes, you could also use metal, glass, crystal alternatives which are all widely available in the common standard sizes as specified. I have used a fracture effect crystal for the orb in the abdomen, there are many alternatives available, with this common 40 mm diameter, such as different styles of crystals, marbles, glow in the dark balls etc.The illustrated examples are in one case made from Triple colour silk PLA+ (Gold, Bronze, Silver) and in the other example printed in black PLA+ then finished with antique gold and silver gilding wax.

The model is provided in .STL and .3mf FormatsI would recommend 0.08mm layer height (or the best your printer can offer) as this will really benefit the high density of detail in this model.

I hope you enjoy printing this model.
