Designing and 3D Printing a Hinged Swimbait Fishing Lure

What’s up everyone! In this video I’m going to attempt to make a 3D printed lure. Inspiration came from binge watching the Marling Baits channel ( / @marlingbaits ) and eventually I decided to take a crack at it myself.

Dang! Marling got me into making lures too! LOL I make them from wood. However, I have designed a few in Fusion 360, just for the fun of it. Never got around to printing or using them though.
I believe your initial design would have worked if you would have added more weight in the belly. A lure tends to lay over if it isn't ballasted properly. Have you thought about using twist-eye hinges like Marling uses? Then you could paint and completely seal each half before joining them together.
Fun video to watch!

Talk about click bait🐟😉! Very nice model. May I ask which cad software you're using?

[@LexieEclectic]

Thanks! Autodesk Fusion 360.

I think petg is watertight

[@LexieEclectic]

I'll have to try using it.
