Articulated tarantula spider

Here is the rewritten text: An inspired creation, born from examining https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1760063 by owtcydur, has led to the development of an articulated spider. Utilizing the "feelers" from his model as a starting point, I designed a new entity for your 3D printing pleasure. Note that a "Spider_Extra_Joint" option is available for printing and can be added to leg parts if desired. However, I chose not to include them in my final assembly, finding they didn't significantly enhance the overall design. Various leg options are provided, including long, short, and textured versions with bumps. Long legs appear particularly striking when positioned at the front or rear. The model's size is considerable, as evident from the accompanying images, so feel free to scale it down slightly if preferred. Keep in mind that extreme reductions may compromise joint strength, potentially leading to structural issues. In my experience with an Ender 3 and suitable filament, a 75% reduction provides a good balance between size and durability. Scaling below this point may result in weakened joints, as demonstrated by the copper print which was reduced to 60% of its original size, resulting in broken joints that were successfully repaired using super glue.
