They are easy to print and can be shaped after for a realistic look. I used a .2 nozzle and dipped the legs in boiling water to bend them to shape.

3d printing is all about balancing settings to maintain quality. Like layer adhesion vs quality/cosmetics.
You don’t have to get super technical if that’s not your thing, though some basics are very helpful- but you can learn that as you go.
If you have the time and the cash to get started… pick up decent printer and give it a go! If cash is a problem, many local libraries have printers you can use, or there’s hack spaces, etc.
Feel free to come here with questions. Everyone needs help at some point.
That's a great reminder to check again to see if there's a makerspace near me yet. It would be nice to get have other people with experience to learn from.
Thanks for being so welcoming!
