A luremakers introduction to 3D Printing 

Thanks for all your comments Glenn. Really great you find my content usefull - And yes. A 3D printer really is a great toy for luremakers. Just go for it

At least it will make it so much easier to get the design to look like you want to. I still have to adjust my design to what I can figure out to make in the program.

sorry to be offtopic but does anyone know a method to get back into an instagram account..? I was stupid lost the password. I would appreciate any tips you can offer me

@Enoch Patrick instablaster :)

@Maximilian Santiago Thanks for your reply. I got to the site through google and I'm in the hacking process atm. Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will reply here later with my results.

@Maximilian Santiago It did the trick and I actually got access to my account again. I am so happy:D Thank you so much, you saved my ass :D

@Enoch Patrick No problem :)

Thanks, and yes I probably should use protection more - often I just forget it

@@SplishSplashFishing keep up your great work man! :)

Thanks - Will definately check out his movies

I completely understand your opinion, and I have been split between the joy of carving and handling wood and the ease of making lures this way. The outcome of this will never match the work you make, and I fully respect your skills. But making lures this way would enable people with let carving skills than you, to get into luremaking. And that includes something like 99% of luremakers. Just keep up your work for everybody to have some high goals to aim for.

@@SplishSplashFishing well to be fair i dont think fish really care about fancy details, those are for us fishermen. Hows the design process on the computer, i hope its easier than autocad lol i used to hate that program when i was in school lol.

@@SolarfallBaits I havn't tried autocad, so I can't tell you if its easier, but it won't take long before I make a movie on how to get to something like the designs of this video, and then you can see. Once I figured out how, it was quite easy I think.

Yes everything comes at a price. For shad masters it wont matter loosing some edges i think. Thanks for your insight

To me it has been the best toy and most usefull tool I have bought in many years - Good luck with it

Do that - 3d print certainly gives a lot of posibilities. Good luck

@@SplishSplashFishing thank you

No this is the normal version, and so far I havn't bought any add-ons or upgrades. So it's actually a quite cheap entry to 3D printing

I guess they wont make any money that way :D - I think things will be different i the future. So maybe

It all depends on how you print it. You generally print with a outer thickness and a infill percentage, and the strength of your lure will depend on that. But I would say that you can easily make an very strong lure in PLA. A normal infill rate of 20% will make the lure very boyant, and you will have to make room for weights rather than room for air. Good luck with your project

@@SplishSplashFishing thanks for the recommendation by the way... I got the ender 3 neo for a week now and although the learning curve is quite steep, got my own design and much needed lure in prototyping phases already!

Success! For now... ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-YvRx8ScS_1s.html

I mainly use the printer to make masters, but I would expect, that if you set the wall thickness in Cura to maybe 2 mm, your lure would be quite durable

I haven't tried, but would expect the surface of the lure would end up very uneven. Also you might end op with the resin cast stuck in the mould due to the uneven surface. But in the end you would have to try I guess

i think i must give this a try otherwise i will never know 🙂, i guess pla or petg may just not work so i ordered a roll of abs filament... we'll see how it goes

No doubt that it will be worth experimenting with other filament types, to make the post processing easier. Will take a look at the wood filament - Thanks

Hmm... Not really... Woodfill is based on PLA almost 70 % + real cork / bamboo /real wood dust 30 %... So the printed part will be almost like PLA from post processing point of view...

I plan to share my models along the way. But the model i this vid was not "ready for distribution" yet

@@SplishSplashFishing great videos , like all the work you do . thanks for sharing all your tips and tricks

Its a local brand (or Scandinavian at least) called Biltema, so I am not sure if its generally available. Try searching for "Filler spray" and see what you can find locally.

Hi Jim. Generally I don't sell blanks. First of all because I try to inspire people to make their own designs, but also because I couldn't sell them at reasonable price. At the same time I know how easy it would be to use the blank as a master, and for some of my designs, I like to keep the as a personal thing

Fusion 360 has always expired after a year. You just go to their website and renew your subscription. However they have made a limit of having only 5 editable designs at a time. However you can switch between read only and editable as you wish

The project in the movie isn't really "production ready", so i has not been uploaded. But there will be a "3d printed shad master" movie shortly, that will go through how to make the drawing, and I plan to include links to project files with that

@@SplishSplashFishing great can't wait

For my use this printer is very good. No need to use more money on that. Good luck

Thanks for the quick reply. Today, in one company discounts. I buy@@SplishSplashFishing

For coating the softbaits I just use uncolored softplastic. With regards to paint, I now use paint that is meant for softplastic. I know of 2 brands of such: CAB Coating in Finland and Brightbaits in Belgium. good luck

@@SplishSplashFishing Leider kann die Frage, wo Sie mit diesen Farben malen, nicht gefunden werden. Wenn Sie es nicht haben, entfernen Sie das Video darüber

Sorry. My German isn't very good, and google translate doesn't make sense out of what you are writing

Сожалею. С видео какие цвета краска силиконовая.

I didn't record the making of that mold, but you can watch this video on how to make a 2 part mold: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-D0e0fOW973g.html I am about to start recording a video on making making a shad from a 3D printed master, so that will come within too long.

Have been looking for that as well, but have not found a solution in Fusion. Think you need another progam.

@@SplishSplashFishing there is a way, but you better have a good computer because mine always freezes while doing it. There is a channel called CATCH-fishing with a few tutorials.

@@vikipoyta My PC i pretty powerfull so I will check out that channel - Thanks for the idea

A filler to spray or smear on, and then sand with sandpaper to make the surface smooth

@@SplishSplashFishing can tou send me a link from Where you get it from.

@@1joaonobre I I have bought it in a danish shop that doesn't have a webshop. However a search for "spray filler" should give you some local options to pick from. Maybe this: www.amazon.com/Rust-Oleum-249279-Automotive-11-Ounce-Filler/dp/B003CT4AM0
