Gray Widower 3D Printing Miniature | Assembly

HISTORY OF GRAY WIDOWER

Large black creatures that are very similar to spiders. They have thorns on their backs and the skull looks like a human with only 4 eyes and fangs. They come from the mist and kill their victims with the help of a web that can corrode everything. Some of their victims they capture to lay eggs in them and continue their offspring. These creatures came from the other world. This world was discovered by scientists who conducted experiments on the curvature of spaces, but at that moment there was a violent storm and it hit into their building than caused an increase in the portal. So they spread throughout the earth and began to kill all life in their path. They are one of the main monsters that were shown in the movie The Mist on the novel by Stephen King.

ABOUT THIS 3D MINIATURE

The model is saved in STL files, a format supported by most 3D printers. 

FDM version features:
- Contains 17 parts.
- Platform made with locks. One part of Lock (6_Ge_lock_10S (x12)) you need to print 12 times.
- Can stand on surface without platform.
- Contain devided varinat of platform for small buildplates;
- All parts are divided in such way that you will print them with the smallest amount of supports.

SLS/SLA version features:
- Same as FDM but made as 2 parts.

All STL files for 3D printing have been checked in Netfabb and no errors were shown.
