Popper fishing lure.
Splishes and splashes on the surface when fished as a popper, but on a steady retrieve it'll dive and swim just under the surface like a plug.

The lure is 13cm long, but can be rescaled according to your needs.
The model is printed with 50% infill. It included a large air chamber to aid in floating and orientation.

If you modify the support settings, be sure to use ‘on build plate only’ or add an exclusion area so the air chamber is printed without supports.

The eye hook screws I used are 16x7.5mm [ https://a.co/d/cw17O1R ]

Pilot holes to help position eyehooks are provided, but might need to be enlarged to work with your hardware.

If you want to balance the lure differently I recommend moving the position of the middle hook forward or backwards accordingly.


General 3d Printing Tips

• Make sure your printing plate is clean! Oils from your skin will cause adhesion issues for your prints. Regularly wash your print plate with a detergent like Dawn and avoid touching the surface when removing prints from the bed.
• If it's an option on your printer, always opt to level the bed before each print. If you have to perform this manually, make sure you do this after every few prints. It takes a bit of time and patience, but it's a fair trade for reliable prints.
• Ensure bed and nozzle temperatures are within the expected range for the material you are printing. Temperatures that are too high or too low will affect the print negatively by causing warping, malformed layers or adhesion issues.
• Reduce your printing speed. Slower print speed is especially important for overhangs because it gives the material more time to cool as it's deposited.
