Frog fishing lure with jointed legs

Floating frog surface lure with jointed legs.

Flick or use steady retrieve to mimic a frog swimming on the surface. Legs will swing out of the way in case of a strike.
Body is approximately 4.5cm long, total of 15cm with legs extended. Print with 40% infill so it floats and it's still heavy enough to cast.
And if fishing isn't your thing, it's a cute toy.

Has pilot holes for eye hooks. Note that front and back pilot holes are angled upwards slightly.
The eye hook screws I used are 16x7.5mm [ https://a.co/d/cw17O1R ]
Hooks shown in the picture are size 1 single hooks [ https://a.co/d/jm4p57k ]
This picture shows the angle of the pilot holes.

General 3d Printing Tips

• Make sure your printing plate is clean! Oils from your skin can 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 level the bed before each print. If you have to perform this manually, do so after every few prints. It takes a bit of time and patience, but it's a fair trade for reliable results.
• Ensure bed and nozzle temperatures are within the expected range for the material you're printing. Temperatures that are too high or too low can negatively affect the print, causing warping, malformed layers, or adhesion issues.
• Reduce your printing speed. Slower speeds are especially important for overhangs, as they give the material more time to cool as it's deposited.
