I love how you've combined mechanical design, 3d printing, and fishing. Keep up the good work!
Thanks, will do!
Thanks for the video! I just used this as a tutorial to make my first mold for a swim bait. Now to print it up!
Awesome I hope it works out for you.
Thanks for these. Love the F360 walk through content.
Thank you for the great Fusion tutorial.... I didn't know how to do this, I was able to make a senko copy using your method to draw it in fusion.
Thanks for watching
This is a great getting started video for fusion. Thank You!!!
Thanks... I'm only an amateur (at best) and there are a lot better videos out there when it comes to learning F360 but hope you find it useful.
Nice one. I also had exactly the same issues in the beginning. Runner to small. Not enough venting. Can't wait to see you make a creature bait or a more complex lure. Like a frog or so. Keep up the good work
Awesome video! Great explanation from start to finish! Fairly new to CAD, but I'm glad to find someone that shares my interest in CAD, 3D printing, and fishing! Keep up the great work!
Thanks for watching and good luck with your projects.
Thanks a lot for this amazing tutorial!
I'd probably only do 2 colors, one like a motor oil /black snake kind of colou, the other a more organic brown green like the "watermelon" that is popular. On just about any body of water you will find fish tat goes for one of the two
I'm an avid SWX user (every day) and have wanted to dip into Fusion to try this
I love this! Have you ever tried to smooth out the surface and prime it to get a smoother surface? I'm curious if it will give the smooth, shiny surface seen with CNC molds
Yes.. I've tried Hi temp engine spray paint on the molds (I briefly show it in my next videos) and it worked ok but I did have some issues so I need to try it again.
Awesome. Your videos have inspired me to buy a 3d printer to give this mold making a shot. Can you do a video from Tinkercad-->mold---> bait for us less CAD knowledgeable people?
I really don't know enough about Tinkercad to be doing tutorials on it but check out Revamped Outdoors videos he's done a few on using it. This one comes to mind czcams.com/video/XV7UgCL6AyI/video.html
Really enjoy your videos, very informative & interesting! Have you ever, or do you know if it is possible, to use Lurebuilder to make lures for a 3D printer?
Thanks... I've never used the software so I'm not really sure but I saw Henri (the owner) discussing developing his software to be able to download stl's but that was over a year ago so I don't know if he ever went in that direction.
Thank you so much for making this! I'm trying to "trick" my angler teenager into learning 3d modeling to make soft plastics. I have a bit of autocad experinces and really like the way you went from sketch to modeling to slicing to printing. There are plenty of other video on the injection process.
Have you considered resin prints?
I have been thinking about getting as resin printer as I have heard resin will work better because it takes higher temps I just haven't had the spare time to look into them fully yet. Hopefully this winter I will pick one up to experiment with... Thanks for watching.
If you want it ripped for pleasure.. LOL nice video!
For my purposes, those baits would be fished without hesitation. My friends would do the same. As a fly fisherman, I have tied some...not ideal(?) flies, and have caught many fish with them. I'm really looking forward to making molds. I am expecting an Aquila to be delivered in the nexr couple days, and can't wait to start learning how to use it.
Be forewarned 3D printing can get addicting. I even printed a fly I found on Thingiverse but I never did get around to trying it.
@@TheNeverendingProjectsList So it's like my other hobbies of surfing, MTB riding, archery, skiing, bass playing, working on my 68 C10...the list goes on.
@@matthewb8229 More like you'll be printing things for everyone of those hobbies now too.
Hi there, just liked a llot your video. In fact, I plan to make one my own following your tips. I have a question: how long does it take to cool down the lures before opening the mold? thank you.
Unlike an aluminum mold which dissipates the heat faster the 3D printed molds do require a little more time before de-molding. I usually wait about 3-4 minutes (at least) but I lot is going to depend on the design of the baits.
@@TheNeverendingProjectsList Thanks a lot for sharing.
Great video, not sure if you will see this I'm doing the same as you and at the tail end there is a big difference in thickness. Tried using fillet but keep getting errors.
Usually if the fillets are throwing errors it's because they are to big for one area. If it's on the tail it could be because of where the tail connects to the body.
Nice vid! what did you mean by "I might have used to much injection pressure"? I am having problems with dents in the plastic.
It turns out denting is usually caused by the plastic cooling too fast. From what I hear it is better to shoot with the plastisol cooler... this can sometime help with denting. Are you shooting this 3D printed mold or is it something else such as an aluminum mold?
@@TheNeverendingProjectsList I am using a 3D printed mold (SLA) I think I'll try to make the entry holes bigger to start. It wwas my first attempt
I've always wanted to get into making my own soft and hard baits what 3d printer would you recommend that isn't a ton of money? id like one with a table big enough for most molds i was looking a creality ender 3. amazing videos by the way! they really are making me want to get into doing it myself also.
Thanks... I really don't know a lot about 3D printers as the Makergear M2 is the only printers I've used or seen in person. I have heard nothing but good things about the Ender series though and although I've never used it that's what I recommend people look into when asked this question because of all the good things I've heard about it. If I had room for a 4th printer I'd probably get one of the Ender line myself to try.
@@TheNeverendingProjectsList thank you for the reply! I don't know much about 3d printers either but I'm glad to hear that you've heard nothing but good things about the ender printers. I will for sure be buying some of your designs to print when I get a 3d printer.
@@tylerbaldwin1633 Ender 3 is a inexpensive entry point.
Have you looked into CNC milling molds, perhaps out of wood or aluminum? Wood would be pretty easy to do, and wouldn't be as impacted by heat!
I haven't but I want to make one of those small DIY CNC mills out of a mini router to see if I could cut my own. I hear getting them done professionally can be a lot of money.
@@TheNeverendingProjectsList They absolutely can be, but it seems a natural compliment to your CAD skill and interests. Look up the MPCNC, it's lower cost, and many parts are printed
@@ISOAwe Yeah that's exactly like what I want to try. I have a small mini mill and I always wanted to convert it to cnc but those look like they would be a lot easier to do. The the only problem I have right now is no time.
@@TheNeverendingProjectsList Well cool! I definitely subscribed, I'll look forward to seeing more videos in the future. Best of luck with the mill situation
Can you attempt to make a video on how to 3d print a hollow body silicone frog lure? Such as a popping pad crasher by booyah
Honestly I'm not sure how to go about making a hollow body lure with a hook embedded into it... that would take some doing to figure out.
sthone I've scoured the internet and it doesnt seem like anyone has a dialed in do-it-from home method yet
On your hard baits were do u get your line ties
lurecomponents.worthco.com/products/wire-forms/figure-8-hook-hangers (I use #6's)
What is the equivalent to the pipe command in Solidworks?
I haven't used SW in a awhile so I don't know if they added a equivalent pipe command these days but from memory... you can draw a path sketch (like I would for the pipe command) and then just add a new plane on one end of that sketches points (using the reference geometry plane command) then just draw your circle (or what ever shape) on that new plane and then just use the Sweep boss command and select the circle for the Profile and the other sketch for the path. It's a few more steps but it should end up with the same results.
Your printer looks pretty unique; what kind is it?
I use Makergear M2's
How big do the holes need for the registration pegs?
I use .25" diameters for the pins and holes. I clean them up with a 1/4" drill bit after printing.
Have you tried printing in abs? It's more heat resistant no?
I have not tried ABS on molds it probably would work better but the PLA is working well enough for what I do. I did try ePC which has a higher heat rating than ABS but the plastisol stuck to the molds like super glue.
@@TheNeverendingProjectsList PC >ABS>PLA
@@doris9969 You forgot PETG :) (BTW... PC doesn't work the plastisol sticks to it.)
How do you export only half mold?
In Fusion360 in the side Browser Tree find the actual body of the piece you want to export from the "Bodies" tab and just Right Click on that body and select "Save as STL". (you have to make sure the body is visible or it won't export.) This is the fastest way to export any STL in Fusion.
Can a person buy the 3D printed molds??? Are they better than the silicone molds?? Im really new to this but I want to use what works better and at an affordable price..
single mom of 2 girls and my teen daughter is eager to learn about bait making too!! She is an avid fisHER like me lol
I don't sell the actual molds there's just to many things that could go wrong with a printed molds to be worth the trouble of trying to sell them and deal with any issues that my happen. I only sell the files so people can print there own. I'm no expert but I would suggest starting with a open pour silicone mold as they are usually the cheaper option (or easy to make yourself) and require less equipment to use over say an injection type mold.
@@TheNeverendingProjectsList awesome 🤩 thank you so much for ur advice! Much appreciated!
@@TheNeverendingProjectsList can you please let me know how much is the files?
@@EpicFishingTime cults3d.com/en/users/sthone/creations
Do you share your models online available for download
Yes... Not everything but a lot of my stuff is on cults3d.com. Most of it is free but some of them are for purchase.
@@TheNeverendingProjectsList great thank you! They look great! Have you experimented with salts and scents?
@@MD-NWWI I have not. I'm pretty new to the soft plastics and have barely experimented with colors at this point mostly just messing around with designs.
@@TheNeverendingProjectsList well I really like them. Very nice work.
SOMEONE HELP whenever I go to make something in fusion I create the main body but everytime I go to make my tails they are always not centered how the heck do I fix that? I attempted to put constraints but it keeps giving me an error sorry complete noob here
The sketch isn't centered or is it the extrude that's not centered?
@@TheNeverendingProjectsList thanks for replying again 🙂 I love your videos ! And yes I just didn't have the extrude centered and it was going to one side of the plane instead of both ways lol
@@nightdrivers9138 I figured that's what was going on... Just keep at it and you'll learn as you go, I still learn something new every time I make a new lure.
Can you release the files please

Где взять такой шприц ????
Я сделал это, но если вы ищете инжектор из мягкого пластика, вы должны найти их в продаже.
@@TheNeverendingProjectsList Я понял, что это hand made, но это копия с магазинного или ваша разработка.
@@user-cc7pv1gw5m
Это был мой дизайн, но тот, который вы можете купить, в основном все того же дизайна. Наконечник, который помещается в форму, обычно имеет стандартный размер 5/8 дюйма. Остальное - просто полая трубка с поршнем с уплотнительным кольцом. Я показываю свое творение в этом видео czcams.com/video/WSCQe7MVScA/video.html
@@TheNeverendingProjectsList спасибо за подробный ответ.
