One of the first projects I completed with my first 3d printer was Ellindsey's Ball-Jointed Articulated Octopus:

It was a great way to learn about my printer and I loved how it looked when it was finished.
But there were a few things about it I always wanted to change. First, I wanted to design my own head, second, I always thought it should be a giant squid and giant squid have eight arms and two longer tentacles for a total of ten appendages. Finally, I wanted to taper the arms as they came to a point.
I set out to make my own model from scratch in Fusion 360. I wanted the ball and joints to print and snap together easily.
So here is my final model ready for your printing pleasure. I've provided four sizes: colossal (parts begin with C), large (parts begin with L), small (parts begin with S) and tiny (parts begin with T).
The colossal squid took me all of a week to print. It is about a kilogram in weight and over a meter long. The Benchy in the pictures is there so you can judge size.
The Colossal size could probably be printed larger on a printer with a larger capacity. If you do this, please post a picture! :)
Enjoy
Printed at .15 mm on an Original Prusa MK3. But .2 would probably be fine.
The back of the head may need some supports, the rest of the parts should not need supports.
I used several colors of Hatchbox PLA to complete the models in the pictures.
