Black Widow Spider & Web Wall Mounted Display / LED Backlit Accent Piece

Bring an eerie, atmospheric cobweb effect to your desk, shelf, or mantel with this LED-backlit spider web display! Featuring a detailed corner web and a poseable black widow spider, this tabletop piece casts dramatic geometric shadows day or night.

Originally conceptualized as a custom woodworking project, this model has been fully adapted for 3D printing with innovative peg-mounting hardware, dual frame thickness options, and versatile lighting routing! Print it as a standalone desk accent, or use it as a physical template guide for scroll saw woodworking!

To give you complete flexibility for mounting, lighting setups, and hybrid builds:

• Flush Keyhole Wall Mounting: The included backplate features built-in keyhole slots designed specifically for #3 screws, allowing the entire web display to hang completely flush against your wall. Note: The backplate (or a custom Plexiglas plate) is required for hanging.

• Plexiglas Halo Backlighting Option: For an ultra-clean halo lighting glow against your wall, swap the printable backplate for a matching piece of Plexiglas cut to the same shape and screwed directly onto the back using the pre-modeled mounting holes!

Repositionable Spider & Peg Mounting:

• 3D Printed Spider: Features round insertion holes on the bottom that receive printable L-shaped locking pegs. Insert the round peg into the spider, spin it, and lock the square L-end securely onto any web strand in your choice of positions!

• Woodworking Templates: Includes dedicated 0.25″ template files to cut a multi-part spider out of wood. While all template files are 0.25″ thick, using varied wood thicknesses for individual leg and body parts creates a stunning 3D dimensional profile.

Key Features:

• Flush Keyhole Wall Mounting: The required backplate includes built-in keyhole slots for #3 screws to ensure a clean, flush fit against the wall.
