This is a highly detailed, fan-made 3D model of the Leaper Drone (tick) from the game ARC Raiders. Designed from scratch in Fusion 360, this model is not just a statue – it features fully articulated legs and a custom-designed hollow core to accommodate RGB LED lighting.

✨ Key Features:

Fully Articulated: The spider-like legs are movable, allowing you to pose the drone in dynamic positions.

RGB LED Ready: The central "eye" is designed as a separate diffuser ring. When printed with transparent filament, it creates a perfect, neon-like glow effect using standard RGB LEDs.

Modular Design: Legs and thrusters are designed for easy printing and assembly.

High Detail: Captures the mechanical aesthetic of the game.

🛠️ Bill of Materials (Filaments Used in Photos): To achieve the exact look seen in the pictures, I used:

Body (Black): Bambu Lab PLA Matte Charcoal – The matte finish hides layer lines beautifully and gives it a realistic, manufactured look.

Accents (Grey): Bambu Lab PLA Basic Silver – For the mechanical details and faceplate.

LED Ring (Diffuser): SUNLU PLA Transparent

Assembly: The leg sockets are designed for a tight fit; depending on your printer's tolerance, you might need a drop of glue or light sanding.

💡 Electronics: There is ample space inside the spherical body to house a battery, a small RGB controller, and LEDs. The eye ring acts as a natural lens.

Assembly:

The ball joints are designed to be strong. For proper assembly, align the flat side of the ball with the hook before snapping it into place, as shown below.
