Inspired by ishikawats Articulated Roach: https://www.printables.com/model/1435384-articulated-roach
I wanted to make a less...controversial insect.
I recommend:
Good bed adhesion!
0.25 layer height is fine
Fresh filament (old ones might be too brittle).
90% size works but seems to get dicey at 80% or below. You can probably go lower if you print the pieces individually.
You can use flush cutters or scissors to get clean removal of pieces from the card.
Insert the pieces at a 180° angle to the body (you can see the sockets are elongated to accommodate the ball joints) then rotate into position.
If you print the pieces idividually, you can mirror them in the slicer for the right half of the body, although this is not necessary.
Please be gentle as I am still a novice modeler 🙏
