- You will find tons of 3D printer videos using FDM printers, here is why you should not buy one to make fishing lures in 2021 and beyond...

I already have a FDM printer because I like printing guns so I'm going to start using it but definitely upgrade to a resin printer after I get addicted to making lures. I've been able to tune my printer to create some sweet buttery prints but the resolution looks way better. The PLA + filament I use for my lower receivers is pretty strong and good for heat deflection (I run my ar 15 setup on my PLA plus)
Sweet man, you can totally get started with PLA+ for lures and molds, but the print times (and resolution) for molds especially is pretty limiting. Not too mention even PLA+ will start to deform with plastisol. The heat is a bit different (constant and immediate) vs a firearm (immediate but quickly dissipates)
Maybe update this information? Materials like nylon with a good heat deflection or using a material similar to chinchilla for directly printing lures on fdm. Nylon is fairly easy to print as far as technical polymers go, and chinchilla requires a direct drive extruder, but beyond that i bet most could get exactly what they want from those
Will be updating soon but sadly nothing has really changed.
Been on the fence about which type to get for printing tackle. I mainly want to print baitheads and swimbaits. Would you say the resins out there are strong enough for say crankbait bills with a wire-through design? And cost wise for consumables like resin, etc how expensive is it to create a small run of lures? Thanks for this video. I’m coming closer to choosing a resin printer because of it.
No problem. I have not done a deep dive test of strength but Siraya Tech Blu Clear has held up really well, for both lips and bodies. If you don't need clear then Siraya Tech Blu Nylon Black is really tough and can stand up to a pretty good beating... You can check out my video on designing lips here - th-cam.com/video/6lGIEsZmaxM/w-d-xo.html
As far as cost that is tough to say, it totally depends on your design and size. Most of mine are between 20 and 50 cents per bait in resin cost.
@@WMBayouLures I’ll note those two resins. Thanks for the info!
Your content is amazing! I am prototyping a hardbait made out of two halves with details like a rattle chamber inside, does it make sense to get the two crankbait halves out of a SLA printer and glue them together? Or melt them together with acetone?
I really want to get into it now, super cool how cheap these printers got and how much content there is now!
Yeah you can totally do 2 halves and glue them together. You can use epoxy resin, super glue, or even the 3D printer resin itself to glue the half's together, no need to melt with acetone. I prefer the single part design because it takes less time but of course has its limitations. I will be doing some 2 part baits coming up.
@@WMBayouLures Cool, thats exactly what I was looking for. Prototypes in Polystyrene are crazy expensive and messing around with pouring resin is not what I am looking so this sounds like the best way for me!

@@WMBayouLures I definitely will, thanks a million!
Good Day Sir❗️
Thanks For The Education❤️❗️
One Question:
Which 3D Printer Would You Recommend For InDustrial Or HighOut Of Plastic And Hard Baits?
I Have Some Ideas I’d Like To Put On The Market.
If you want high output you are going to to go as big as possible or multiple printers. Multiple printers will be a bit cheaper to start and give some flexibility if one printer has an issue. You could go large like an Elegoo Jupiter, Phenom XL etc.
@@WMBayouLures Thanks Man👍🏾🎣❗️
@@AKC357 I just started down the hard lure path about a month ago. You can see the results in my wake bait video released a few weeks ago
What resin should I use ?
Siraya Tech Sculpt- th-cam.com/video/ndYmHhDkA1Y/w-d-xo.html
I Agree and disagree. Fold molds I agree. For hard lures like crankbaits FDM works much better than Resin. I built custom crankbaits. I have both a FDM and Resin printers. I've run 3 years of prototyping on both printers. Resins are not strong enough. The FDM PLA works extremely good for hard baits. You have to think once you paint the lures and apply clear coats. It's literally unbreakable. I've never had one break yet. The Resin are way to fragile. No offense but I personally think you should try testing before putting out statements based on opinions.
Been testing and prototyping for about the same as you but with different results. I will have some testing videos coming up so we can all get a reasonable answer.
CNC machined moulds are the best.
@@alucardhellsing1037 of course, but they are also out of reach for many designers and can not be the most cost efficient way to go about prototyping a lure.
Are you printing hollow lures, or are your printing solid lures?
