Summary
The toy for my daughter Alice.
Big thanks to https://monofilament.com.ua/ for sponsoring this model, you guys are awesome!
During watching good old movie "Honey, I Shrunk The Kids" my daughter were extremely upset when the ant was killed by scorpion. So I decided to create an ant toy in a memory of good buddy ant who died but saved kids.
Post printing
For toy assembly you will need sharp knife and small file.
During designing I tried to keep real proportions. But this brought at issue: legs should be thin but strong enough... that is why leg joins are pretty tight and require some force to join together.
The beset way to join them is to send/extend a groove (check neсk.stl) and other outer part then apply some force. But pay attention, too much force can break the part.
I would recommend print legs twice to have spare parts.

This is beyond awesome! This is the best ant model I could find. So much attention to detail. We glued the articulation points in the position that we liked to get it to stand. We had a little trouble with the legs mirroring the parts and then determining where they go because they look so similar. Thanks for the model!
