Thanks for tuning in. Hope you enjoy the video. I might do a couple of different body styles based on the blank. Let me know what you want to see. I might also make a hard swimbait from the blank too. The possibility is endless, when will I have time for the Gator lure v2 design?? Hint hint 😉
I’ve started to mess with CAD recently, so these videos are really enjoyable to watch. Would love to see tutorial version of this with slower pace on the progress.
I'm from Taiwan, and I also enjoy fishing. In order to fish, I bought a 3D printer to print my own lures. I also took classes to learn ZBrush for designing lures. However, everything didn't turn out to be as easy as I imagined. Recently, I came across Fusion 360 and watched many tutorial videos on RU-vid. It's amazing how there are multiple methods to create the same fish scales. Your video tutorial was more challenging, but the end results were much more detailed. I'm glad to have come across your tutorial videos, as they have taught me different approaches to create lures that I love. You're awesome!
Hello my countryman :) I started my 3d design/print journey in 2021 (just for fun), and quickly I realized it has a lot of potential on lure making. Since I have used AutoCAD before, it didn't take me long to pick up Fusion 360. I am still learning new techniques on the regular basis by watching RU-vid videos, I guess the learning process will never end. Just curious what kind of lures are you making? For salt water or fresh water fishing? Are people making soft plastic baits over there? I know bass somehow got into the water system, I have not seen people making their own baits. I would love to promote CALD in Taiwan if possible. Feel free to post comments ask questions or request.
@@yauckoutdoors I primarily make freshwater lures. I've tried using PETG for making soft plastic bait molds, but due to the high temperature, the molds deformed after just two uses. So, I switched to using silicone for making soft plastic bait molds. I have also used PETG to make VIB and minnow lures. It brings me double the joy when I catch fish using the lures I made myself.😄
I have been searching for someone with your expertise for hire for too long. Today your channel is on my feed. 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 Superior skills my man. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Awesome work and designing. Really enjoy your videos. As we grow as a company we’re working towards more proprietary designs and profiles. I have previous experience in raincad drawing simple landscape designs and irrigation systems. This is inspiring me to find time and learn this process! Thanks!
As a community we all grow together. I am still spending fair amount of time on leaning or watching how other people use the application. Feel free to post your questions, we all love to help and come up with solutions in this community. Cheers!
I have been watching your videos and have no idea what to say. Guess the first thing to say is, young man, you are fantastic!!! you have obviously worked with Fusion for quite a while. I am just a beginner. I'm like Patrik (below). I would LOVE a tutorial on this Bluegill and one on your Goby. Actually I would prefer for you to move in next door so I could sit and watch over your shoulder. I'm at an age that I fear that I may not long enough to learn half this stuff. But I'm not giving up, for sure. I can't thank you enough for sharing your work.
There is a tutorial on the bluegill design. If anything not clear, you can comment your questions with the time stamp. Age is not the limit. Passion will drive you. If you get stuck, let me know, I will help. Cheers!
AMAZING! ive loved fishing all my life and have found a love for 3d printing in the past couple years. Would you consider sharing the STL for this? I would even offer to print it out of resin and send you it!
This is great man! I have had a filly style bait on my list for a while then I got distracted with hard baits! LOL. Going to be using some of these techniques for sure!
This is UNBELIEVABLE! I am amazed and fascinated by your computer program skills. I feel as though that is the area of bait making I lack in the most being a sculptor and an artist. I feel like the integration of this technological skill would take my hard baits to the NEXT level. I would be more than willing to pay for training or help. How did you learn this program so well??
I plan to put it up on Cults. Currently I am working on the fat tail version, as I am not 100% satisfied with the action of the current design. Stay tuned. You can drop me an email, so when it’s available I will let you know.
I want to be a bait maker but still struggling with Fusion 360. Any advice, like training material for the software? Advice: for better injection, you can add drainage for the hard elements.
You can start with a more basic tool like Tinkercad. Also give yourself an easier project to start, like a hard body popper or a spook, and then gradually add features. Once you get a hang of the features like extrude, combine, sketch, etc, you can switch to Fusion 360 and try some more complicated designs. You can always post questions in the comment sections, I will see if I can do a tutorial to help. Cheers!
Just came across your channel. Great stuff here. I'm just starting my adventure with Fusion. There is any chance to get open file to have reference? Greetings from Poland
Thanks for watching. Currently I don’t have plans to share fusion files. This is the full video ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-3NWLRMK7LE0.htmlsi=wNhTh3DOanjqJ2tc Hope the non sped up version helps. You can follow along, and let me know if you encounter any questions.
This is awesome. I did a bluegill design too but haven't got the chance to finish the design. My reasons are the same. No gilly bait anywhere in stores.
If you do get further, I recommend adding the side fins on the body. I believe they will make the lure swim more naturally. Also make the tail part thicker. I think mine is on the thinner side. Cheers!
@@064pointbreak I meant the artificial fins that come out straight from the middle of the body, no angle, not necessary the pectoral fins. They will catch water and cause the body to swim. You can refer to the Berkeley gilly design. So no need to make a 4-piece mold.
Thank you for this video! Its a great starting point! I am having problems with getting the pipe sculpted on the pectoral fin. The point in the video at ~1:46 jumps from the Combine to the Move without any explanation....Is there another step required. Also when extruding you mention Extrude - Intersect but you choose New Body....which is correct?
Thank you for watching and leaving questions. The strategy for the pectoral fin is: 1. Create a fin by itself without changing the main body - thus NEW BODY (so we can avoid having gaps later when we rotate the fin and combine it with the body - if we just cut it out directly and make the fin/body two non-overlapping pieces, we might end up some weird gap when we combine them) 2. Trim the extruded fin to fit the body profile, using Combine with INTERSECT. Now we have the fin that has the same surface as the main body, while preserving the main body. So I probably have skipped a few screen captures. Here is the full video ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-3NWLRMK7LE0.htmlfeature=shared hope it helps.
Another easier method: when you extrude, set the Extent Type to "To Object", and choose the body surface for the Object, Operation to New Body. But this only works when the projected profile falls on a SINGLE surface. In my example, pectoral fin does, but not the gill plate, which falls on the side and bottom surfaces of the main body when you project the gill plate profile to the main body surface.
@@yauckoutdoors thank you! I see where I missed a step on selecting the body as part of the Combine. This video teaches several aspects of modeling with Fusion360! Well done!
I usually shoot at just a little bit over 300F. It’s a bit tricky and the room temperature is a big factor too, unless you are using some heat resistant filament.
This is a great video I'm just learning how to use fusion 360 and your video has helped me a lot. Is there a more detailed video somewhere I could follow along too?
Detailed video is coming up. Fusion 360 keeps evolving so I am learning too. I will share whenever I learn something new. It’s an ongoing process. Cheers!
Thank you. I do not currently. I have two leech molds free for download at sketchfab, will add more to it soon. If you have special requests we can talk offline. Cheers!
I am shooting plastisol at 290ish F, PLA melting point is about 330 but it could start to deform at 310 depending on the pressure. So as along as you pay attention to the temperature, you should be fine.
@@LureLogicOfficial I think that's when you leave it for a long period of time. 3D printed molds are more for prototyping or short runs. If you want something for mass production, you should go for metal molds or at least silicon. I do sometimes mess up the temperature, and end up destroying the PLA molds. It's really a border line process so make sure you have a good thermometer.
Also I think the plastisol being there helps too. If it's empty in the cavity and you just heat the mold up, the gravity will pull the detail and deform it. Hot plastisol would become the support and PLA would have no place to go, thus maintain the shape...
Yes it’s always a good practice to vent your molds. In the past I always thought 3D printed molds don’t close very well, so I could get away without venting. But now based on my experience, I think venting will help in most cases. It’s like a cheap insurance, there is no reason not to do it. Cheers!
