    That's the plan. I'm trying to match this as much as possible:

    Currently it is a friction-fit peg joint, like the rest of the Newage bugs. Because her bob helmet provides more mass than the others, I might see if I can get it on a ball before the next print.

    Any chance you'll be making the files for Blackarachnia available for those of us with our own printers to print at home?

    I can't wait until Magic Square puts this design out. Sarcasm, or is it?

    Thanks! It should be available in June. I will be ordering a print of the revisions next week, and I expect it will be ready to go after that.

    Wrapped up all the tweaks for the second prototype, today.

    Most of the work was on the lower legs, which I extended about a millimetre in order to make her the exact same height as the Firebomb I've been working on, and changed the tops of to lock in the spider abdomen shape a bit more. I also made new hips and thighs for her, with a bit more of a feminine profile, and expanded all the pin holes just a hair so that the pins are hopefully easier to insert.

    All that's left is to update the sprue with the new parts and she'll be ready for the next round of printing.
