Here is a bacteriophage virus model (model by Jpxfrd on printables.com) My wife needs some models for a kids science day visit at her work (she works in a biotechnology lab).

The T4 bacteriophage is in my opinion the coolest looking virus, it looks like a spider or like Rocky from Project Hail Mary. The T4 phage is used as a vector in cloning and biotech recombination methods. Medical research has also taken an intrest in the phage to use as "antibiotic" because it targets bacteria.

This would be a cool lamp!

Except for the spider legs 🤣

No, especially the spider legs! 🕷️

No doubt! There’s a Billie eilish song I love but the video features furry spiders. No thanks

Arachnophobia is real 🕷

Remember when the world wide web was all about spiders?

Damn haha

That's actually not a bad idea. I could make the capsid (head piece) with clear PETG and put a little LED light in.

Reminds me of a walking turret gun. Only the gun is missing.
