🐟 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.
