A good samaritan classmate helped me 3D print some setae to test out size/shape of the hair and it’s base.  I AM ECSTATIC over my first 3D print, it’s wonderful to have a design take shape as material object!

The flesh colored ABS I bought is a little unnerving- I thought it would be shiny but it’s not so it actually kind of looks like skin.  An insect exoskeleton is rigid and armor-like, (and sheer, shiny) so I thought it would be interesting to have an exoskeleton colored the same way as soft skin- now I’m not so sure, maybe a translucent filament would be better.
