One of the first projects I completed with my first 3d printer was Ellindsey's Ball-Jointed Articulated Octopus: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:584405 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
