Summary

I wanted to print Megawillbot's fantastic transforming spider in PLA and in multiple colors, so I pulled together remixes, only to encounter issues with the body base and neck - snapping during assembly or ball joints just not able to fit their receiving counterparts.

After much trial and error, here's what worked for me:

Head, pumpkin top, and stem from thurm's head remix
Arms and pumpkin peels/shell from Megawillbot's original
My modified torso and torso peg (based on thurm's body remix)
My modified neck piece
My modified eyes (based on thurm's head remix)

The torso piece was selectively resized for a slightly smaller center ball joint. The ball joint also has slightly flattened on poles for easier insertion (flat sides against receiving end, turn 90 degrees after insertion).

I also rebuilt neck piece for better fit.

I printed at both .15 and .2 layer sizes; it didn't seem to make a difference for PLA.

I highly recommend printing pieces in the following order (based on ease to reprint/adjust), to verify fit and make adjustments as you go along:

Body
Neck
One leg
One pumpkin shell
Head
Head pegs, pumpkin top, and stem
Torso peg, spacer, and pumpkin bottom
Everything else (eyes, rest of arms/shells)
