Description

I wanted to create an exciting solution of a pen holder on my office desk. There I need just one pen which I wanted to give the respective ambience. Perfectly fitting to the vision in my mind I found the spider model of Jason C Kessler. The shape is remixed to better touch the ground, added by the blood and made easier to print. The pen insert can be individualized. I have added 2 different sizes as an example. In case you want to have a solution for more than one pen, you may also use the abdomen of the spider. Printing Instructions Material: PLA or PETG is fine, for the spider you also may choose for TPU Infill: 15% Support: Is needed. To ensure stable legs I changed the overhang limit to 55 degrees and changed the massive infill threshold to 20 mm^2 (this option in print settings is only available in advanced mode). It will enforce 100% infill for the thin legs of the spider at the initial layers. For penholder-blood.stl I increased the model to 100.3% which compensates the printing tolerances and will lead to an easy fit. Assembly Instructions Print the spider in black or dark grey Print the blood and the insert of your choice in red Glue them together
