- In this video I show how to design a master mold box for making custom swimbait jig heads for fishing soft plastic lures. (FYI - If you're not interested in learning CAD design this video will be boring for you.) This is Part 1 where I cover only the CAD work involved in designing the Master Mold Box... Part 2 will cover making the mold and pouring the actual lead jig heads. (Part 2 should be uploaded on Dec. 8th.)

Wow your fusion skills are so epic. 🤩🤩
I found your channel through Elliott. Both you guys are doing some awesome stuff!
Awesome... Thanks, I love his stuff and I think we learn a lot of good techniques from each other.
Ok.gracias por contestar.solo quería comprarte un molde de cabezas plomada,me a gustado mucho la forma y pensaba que vendías los molde..mucha suerte y gran trabajo
great!!! you are the best!!!!
Nice looking heads
Thanks...
Great video! I may have to give it a go :)
You should!
I would expect to teach me how to design the fish head body too... This issue would complete your great tutorial.
Thank you again Steve :-)
Ted (Australia)
No worries!
Great tutorial. Thanks for sharing.
One Question: Do you get any air pockets in the lips area since the gate is lower than the top of the head in that area?
I didn't on these... the only one I had issues with was the Hellgrammite. The first mold I tried had the mandibles pointed up and those did get trapped air pockets so I flipped the design over, poured from the rear of the hook and it worked a lot better.
❤
Any chance of making a video of how you created the head.
This is awesome. Do you take any requests? I am looking to have something made
Thanks... unfortunately I just don't have the spare time to do any custom work right now sorry.
Nice nice good
can you do a slow pitch jig next and what kind of 3d printer is that? thanks!
I’m not sure what that’s is but the printers I use are Makergear M2’s
With the current molds you sell, for example the ned rig head, can we edit it once you send the file over to add stuff or take away? Make the hook slot bigger for a larger hook?
The files are just STL files... but it is possible to edit "some" STL files in programs like Tinckercad. I have been meaning to update some of the older stuff I've done to be like the molds for the One Ounce Swimbait Jigheads where you should be able to use a variety of different sized hooks. I just haven't found the time and yours is the first request to do so. Are you familiar with CAD already? The NED rig mold is pretty easy to design.
@@TheNeverendingProjectsList a family member was going to create the ned for me and after watching your video it does look super simple so I believe I could have him do it. He just has limited time so I’m trying to find a file where we can edit and make our own!
Have you done a video on how you made that particular head? I’m having trouble wrapping my head around how do such irregular shapes.
I have not done a full video on that because most of it is done in the Sculpt environment of Fusion 360 and it would probably be pretty boring to watch. I actually don't know to much of most of the functions but maybe I'll do a very short video just explaining some of the basics of what works for me as your not the first to ask about it.
That is what I figured. I need some more time working in the sculpt environment. Thanks.
Hi steve greetings from the UK found your channel by accident,as someone who isn't very computer savy i think what you do is amazing 3d printing is awesome i wouldn't have a clue where to start but i am very interested in lure making in all forms. Is their anyway of buying a set of your mold boxes for you jig heads. I would of course pay postage and costs. Look forward to your reply
Sorry I just don't have the time at the moment to make stuff for sale.
Amazon has a bunch of molds
When your are in the design stage is there any way to approximate what the jigs will weigh once poured in lead?
Yes... I did cover how to figure this out but I believe it was in PART 2 as I figured it out myself after the fact.
Hello man , am a big fan of your work, am looking for a stick bait mold from your work, can we work together on at any cost ?
Unfortunately I just moved so I don't have my shop back up yet It will probably be a few months until I get back up and running so I can make or test any thing at the moment...
So you can make patent drawings as it should be? How much do you charge?
Sorry I don;t have the time to do custom work at the moment.
Hola,yo estoy interesado en comprarte un molde ya echo.no sé si me entiendes con el español..
No hago trabajos personalizados para otros si eso es lo que estás pidiendo.
Do you sale or make custom molds? Or would you consider?
Sorry I do not sell the molds (only the files) and I just don't have the time to take on custom work right now..
how much for files

24:45 those are your holes not your pins ^_^
They will be the pins once the silicone mold is poured. :P
