🎣 Soft Bait Mold - BullTeez Curltail Inspired (12cm)
Create your own professional-grade soft plastic lures at home! This is a precision-engineered 2-piece mold inspired by the iconic BullTeez Curltail 12cm shape. Perfect for anglers who want to customize their lure colors and harness the power of DIY bait making. 🎨
✅ Project Features:
- Perfect Alignment: Features integrated registration pins/sockets to ensure both halves line up perfectly every time. 🧩
- Smooth Finish: Designed for minimal post-processing, giving your lures a clean, professional look. ✨
- Size: Produces a 12cm (approx. 4.7") lure – the ultimate "go-to" size for Pike, Zander, and large Perch. 🐟
- Easy Pour: Features a generous injection/pouring gate for smooth plastisol flow. 🧪
⚙️ Recommended Print Settings:
- Material: PETG, Nylon, or High-Temp Resin (recommended to withstand the heat of liquid plastisol).
- Infill: 25-40% (Grid or Gyroid for structural strength).
- Layer Height: 0.12mm - 0.16mm for the smoothest surface detail.
- Walls: 4+ perimeters for durability.
💡 Pro Tips for Best Results:
- Lubrication: Use a drop of silicone oil or dedicated mold release before pouring to ensure the bait pops out easily. 🛠️
- Clamping: Use standard spring clamps or C-clamps to hold the halves tightly together during the pour to avoid flashing.
- Safety: Always pour in a well-ventilated area and wear appropriate PPE when working with hot plastisol! 🛡️
