Custom Creature Bait Injection Mold - 80mm

🎣 Custom Creature Bait Injection Mold - 80mm

This is a functional, 2-piece injection mold designed for creating your own soft plastic lures. The design is based on a popular creature/craw bait style, perfect for Bass, Perch, and Pike fishing. 🐟✨

🌟 Key Features & Design Changes:

- Size: The finished lure is approximately 80mm (8cm) long. 📏 - Simplified Tail Design: Unlike standard molds with thin, fragile tentacles that often cause "short shots" (incomplete fills), this mold features a solid cylindrical block (barrel) at the end. 🛠️ - Easy Demolding: The solid end ensures the plastic flows perfectly every time. After pouring and cooling, simply use a sharp knife or scissors to cut the block into custom fringes or tassels. This gives you the freedom to choose the thickness and number of tentacles! ✂️🎨 - Alignment Pins: Features four integrated alignment points to ensure the two halves match perfectly, preventing "flashing" (leaking plastic). 🧩 🖨️ Printing Recommendations:

To ensure the mold can withstand the heat of liquid plastisol (which is usually around 160-180°C ), please follow these settings:

Setting Recommended Value

Material 🧵 PETG (Minimum), but High-Temp Resin or ASA is preferred.

Layer Height 📐 0.12mm or 0.08mm (for a smooth lure surface).

Infill 🟦 50% or more (to prevent warping under pressure).

Wall Loops 🧱 4-5 walls for strength.

🛠️ How to use:

- Secure the two halves tightly using clamps or a vice. 🗜️ - Heat your plastisol to the recommended temperature. 🔥 - Inject: Use a standard lure injector to fill the mold through the top opening. 💉 - Cool: Wait for it to cool completely before opening. ❄️ - Post-process: Cut the end "barrel" into your desired fringe pattern. ✂️ Happy fishing and tight lines! 🎣🌊
