Here is a Darkweaver from Turn of Wheel's Fortune kind of a weird fleshy daddy long legs mixed with a Zerg queen or something. I couldn't find one of these on the major print sites so I made one.

It's a 25mm medium Aberration but in order for it to be printable I made it so the legs stick out a LOT and I have it on a super tall flying baseplate.

For my process on this mini I recorded a video so as usual that will be available here when it is finished processing. Check it out: https://goto.adamnant.com/l/vod-darkweaver?site=printables&model=darkweaver1&cta=vod

I started with an AI base mesh for this and then split the parts, remeshed and sculpted. It was mostly in the right shape but just needed some tweaks like leg removal and some pulls/stretches etc... to match the reference images a bit better. The mouth isn't quite right and the legs are shorter than the actual but we're already pushing the leg length limits here. If there is demand for leg extensions on this mini let me know and I'll get right on it :)

For printing it's going to be tricky. Resin would work best due to the thin legs but you'll want to be careful as the legs can easily snap since they're so thin. Auto supports and if you have an additive for your resin to increase durability I would recommend it for this mini. For FDM you're going to want to support this a TON and be very careful when removing those supports or have your glue handy. Since I increased the size a bunch there should be plenty of material but support removal might be frustrating. Since FDM is flexible under heat you could heat up the legs and reposition them - the Dark weaver legs are kinda supposed to be more "all over the place" so you can achieve this effect easily with heat from a blow dryer or heat gun.

That's it for the Dark Weaver. Enjoy!

I've completed my quest for 1000 models in 2025 so now I'm trying to decide whats next - I'm actively asking my Patrons what kind of models that they want to see. You can follow along with me on Thingiverse, Printables, Cults3d or join in on the discuss on Patreon here: https://goto.adamnant.com/l/patreon?site=printables&model=darkweaver1&cta=footer (as well as get codes for exclusive downloads on Cults3d). If you have something that you need or a custom model like this that you want then let me know and let's make it!
