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.

Thank you so much for the awesome response! You were able to confirm a few of my guesses how done things were done and also given me a few new things I can read more about.

The leg hairs are a result of the nozzle leaving the print to go somewhere else, leaving behind extra material that stretches thin as the print head moves away.

After seeing the spiders and reading that mask thread, the print head retraction had me interested since I could apply some experience I did have, cake decorating, which thinking about it now, is fairly similar to 3D printing. You've got semi-solid but sticky ingredients, and the icing coming out doesn't just stop and cut off cleanly when you pull back from what you're working on. That's immediately what I thought of with your spider legs and how I thought you used it to your advantage.

It usually goes, "google search 'why is x happening

I find it so encouraging whenever I see this. It's always easy to see someone's end result and think that was just whipped out perfect on the first try. Most computer projects I do work this way, and I see lots of programming humor jokes that essentially say the same thing. "I'm not a good X, I'm a good Googler!"

Meatloaf looked yum, wanted a finger 👍

Hah, I'm glad you have that a look! The fingers were my favorite part due to the higher ratio of crispy bits!

Thanks again for the great reply!
