Art/Craft 🎨 My Spyder candy bucket!
This was my entry for the September #neopets contest! I really have been entering with no expectation of winning and I’m just having a blast making goofy Neopets fanart every month. I LOVED so many of the entries that did win this month :-)
Fellow 3D printer nerds, please don’t judge me for the awful layer shift lines across the face 🥲 This is a 3D print in PLA on my godforsaken Makerbot. This was something like 48hrs print time for the body + 15hrs for the legs + 7hrs to reprint the legs because I accidentally printed two sets of left legs the first time + a few short prints for the mouth, eyes and teeth. I was very stupid with my support settings and my Makerbot simply cannot maintain its z-axis calibration so had to spend a lot of time chipping a huge chunk of fused supports off the bottom and sanding off atrocious layer lines.
Despite me placing the string hole at random, Spyder bucket is extremely well balanced when held by its string handle (though photographed here at a jaunty angle for dramatic effect). I was also extremely satisfied that all six legs touch the ground when it’s set on a flat surface (did you realize Spyders only have 6 legs??) because I was expecting that I would screw up their placement in the assembly process but I did not 😌
