Description

🐟 10cm Soft Bait Mold - FireTail Style 🎣

Check out this 3D-printable, two-part mold for creating your own soft plastic lures! Inspired by the legendary Headbanger FireTail v2 shape, this project is optimized for home workshops and DIY enthusiasts. 🛠️

✨ Project Details:

Lure Length: 10 cm (perfect universal size for Pike, Zander, and Walleye) 📏
Type: Two-part mold with built-in alignment pins for a perfect fit 🧩
Material: Designed for Plastisol (soft plastic) casting 🧪

⚙️ Recommended Print Settings:

Material: PLA (for quick tests) or PETG/ABS (for better heat resistance) 🧵
Layer Height: 0.12mm - 0.16mm (for a smooth lure finish) ✨
Infill: Min. 25% (Gyroid recommended for structural strength) 🧱
Walls: 3-4 perimeters to ensure the mold stays airtight under pressure 🛡️

🛠️ How to use:

Print both halves of the mold.
Apply a mold release agent (e.g., silicone spray or Vaseline) for easy de-molding.
Clamp the two halves together firmly using G-clamps.
Inject or pour your heated plastisol into the gate.
Wait to cool, open, and enjoy your custom lure! 🏆

Pro Tip: For a "mirror-like" finish on your lures, you can lightly sand the inner cavities with high-grit wet sandpaper.

This is amazing! How do you get the colors? painted after?

@Krypsinn

This is the actual lure I use as a base. To get this kind of effect, you really have to put in some work with the airbrush.

Replying to @Krypsinn :

Well that's a bit misleading. The Ai images do not help either, borderline dishonest.

@Krypsinn

Replying to @EngiNerded :

The photo is meant to show the base form of the mold; the final result depends entirely on the individual skills of anyone who decides to cast the rubber. One person might do it like an amateur, while another like a pro. At this point, we are limited only by our imagination and skill. All the best.

if I print in PLA is there a type of material I can use that won’t melt it?
