Introducing the Ghost Crab!! I've been wanting to make a crab for quite some time, so it was a lot of fun to design this fella.
This one is a little unique in that most of the joints are designed to hold their posing. The legs do wiggle and flop when in their print position, but twist them around into the standing position and the joints tighten, allowing the legs to hold the body up in many fun poses!
I created a Demo Video of how all the joints work, and how you can replace the legs if you want!
Please, share photos of your makes! I would love to see them!

"GhostCrab_Full” A or B: These versions are print-in place and ready to go, all in one STL/print.
- The“A” version has standard sized tolerances in the Leg socket joint
- The “B” version has slightly wider tolerances, in case your machine/filament prints with tolerances that are too tight.
“Separated Parts” folder (Optional): In this folder you will find the Body and all of the Legs separated out into individual STL files that will allow you to:
- set the legs to print in another color/filament.
- make fine scale adjustments to the legs for better tolerances.
- print individual legs to replace failed parts.
”Tolerance_Test_Print” (Optional): Video Demo
- A very fast print with both “A” and “B” leg tolerances. Print it to help choose which works best for you!
-3 Walls (when using 0.4 mm nozzle. 2 Walls with 0.6mm)
-10-15% infill (I like Gyroid)
This should generally scale down to about 70% with full articulation, on a well calibrated printer. YMMV
**This model was designed for FDM printing. It was not designed for Resin printing, and I cannot guarantee good/functional results. Resin print at your own risk.*
Attention: Not suitable for unsupervised play by small children or pets, as small parts can pose a choking hazard if broken off due to rough play. Not recommended for children under 3.

This is such a cute little crab. I love the smile and the details on the shell. The arms move easily. Absolutely stellar model. I’m working on printing an army of them!!!
