Yesh its the same brand just different color. I usually just get whats on sale.

@@HandCraftedAngling how have the 3D printed molds been working out for you in general? Inject at a lower temp yeah?

For the resin ones no. I have gone up to 350 375 no issues. I tested out 400 plus for a different kind of plastic that did cause it to warp. The biggest concern with the resin molds is they arent as riged. The require more clamping across the mold then a aluminum one. Im working on a new alingment pin desing but I got that on the back burner while Im testing out hard baits on the resin printer.

@@HandCraftedAngling Awesome information! Thanks for answering.

@@TheFishinMortician no problem

Thats a good idea. Ill give that a shot

You should be fine making harbaits with a resin printer. Ive been working on it for a while now thats why I havent put out a video in a while. So far Ive had no issues making smaller lures for bass fishing. I have a 4 inch jerkbait that should be releasing soon. Im not sure where the cuttoff on how big of lures you can practicly make. My main concern is lip stength. So far ive had luck with lures up to an oz and a half but I havent tested anything heavier. I want to do a video on all my findings I just want to finalize my design proscess first.

In this video I used abs but polycarbonate works much better and petg works better as well

Im glad you liked it and no problem

Thanks thats good to know

Sorry for the late reply. Im always looking for new ideas when I get around to them is another story though. Too many projexts to keep up with. Ill deffinitly keep this in mind. I did hook slots on a very large eel bait i made but that never got passed the proto type phase.

I dont have any experiance using mica powder or silicone. I do plan on trying to airbrush some soft plastics soon. I woukd either try and find some kind of paint made for silicon and then clear coat over it or do some kind of base coat that the spike it will stick to and stop it from absorbing into the silicone

@@HandCraftedAngling thanks 👍

@@HandCraftedAngling I'm thinking about trying the PVC paint they use for silkscreening t-shirts, for soft plastics. It has a really quick heat cure too. Expensive though.

That may work let me know how it goes.

I dont see any reson why that woundt work

@@HandCraftedAngling it's the strongest that I've seen, and sticks to anything. Also a bit pricey.

I haven't had any issues with the cheaper less strong epoxy. Any force of the lure should be pulling directly inline with the body through the hook hangers. There really shouldn't be much rotational force to split the bodies in half.

These baits can be printed on a resin printer but they wont be too efficent. Im working on two new hardbaits developed specificly for resin printing

@@HandCraftedAngling awesome 💯👍

Glad you like it and no problem

Yes this plastic is floating

Ive put this plastic on the back burner. It does not play nice with 3d printed molds. The resin does not absorb the heat quickley and creats all sorts of issues.

Send me an email, I will see if I still have it.

@@HandCraftedAngling sounds good. just sent the email. youtube didnt notify that you had replied

That's awesome!. I would love to know what fish these lures can catch in Turkey. Unfortunately I am not aware what would be available there. Although some people make soft plastics out of silicone that is not the normal material used. They do make silicone soft enough to use for lures but I'm not sure if its available in your country. The material that most soft plastic lures are made of is called plastisol. I cannot provide you a vender for your country but I would try searching that.

It melted on me once using really high temps with a ton of pressure. Resin printed molds work better. For fdm i reccomend using a higher melting point plastic and injecting as cool and with as little pressure as possible

@@HandCraftedAngling is it a scam

@@Matix707 No thingiverse is a website where people post downloadabe 3d pritable files. I got into 3d printing to make my own lures and share most of my files so people can use them. It seemed like a waste to me to learn all this and sink a ton of time into designing baits just for personal use. Id rather other people be able to use them aswell. I have a bunch of other baits too if you check out my channel

@@HandCraftedAngling thankyou very much also what material do i use to 3d print the molds

I havent had too many issues yet. You just have to keep light pressure and keep the temperature as low as possible. Ive had molds warp on me when I inject it too hot or push too hard. With these molds i usually try and keep the temp as close to 300 as possible.

I deffinitly do not plan on giving up but I havent revisited this concept yet. I dont remeber what size hooks i use but I wanna say 4-5 ot. I deffinitly plan on revisiting this topic but I have some other stuff I want to try out first.

Glad i cpuld help! Thats kinda the goal of the channel

Ive never tried it. For the stuff i used in this video i deffinitly would not use pla. It warped one of my resin molds. If you are using regular plastisol I have heard of people using pla. I would think the smaller molds would work more than larger molds. I would keep your temps as low as possible.

Yeah I'm a little worried about the heat tolerance. This is all for personal use so I'm not worried about shipping but if it truly has to be kept in a cooler that's gonna be a problem. Its still pretty cold up here so I cant test that. I store most of my baits in a shed and it hit 80 degrees outside one day and they didn't melt. If its 70 outside and the sun is beating down on a metal mailbox it might be quite a bit warmer inside than 70 degrees. I've been having other issues with this stuff with bubbles and air pockets. I ordered a mixing pot and I am waiting for that to come before I try anything else with it. Unfortunately I have had much better luck fishing with tpe type baits than regular plastisol and I would love to have my custom designs made out of it. So for now I am stuck tooling around with this stuff.

I apriciate the heads up. I havent been able to try out the heat resistance as its still winter. Does it still flatten out at that temp if its out of durect sunlight?

I make them on my 3d printer. All the ones that are finished are a free download

@@HandCraftedAngling you sell them? Because I would like some custom molds

Im toying around with that idea eventualy. I want all my molds to be perfect first.

@@HandCraftedAngling hope you make some updates on us about your molds

Yeah i havent really announced anything but a bunch of the freshwater molds are updated already The grub mold has been redone. All of the saltwater stuff is still in the testing faze

Jb welds not a bad idea. Not sure about casting it or price though. I'm definitely gonna look into it. I also like the vibrations to remove some of the bubbles. I definitely want to try out the jigs again. I just want to wrap up some hard bait and soft plastic stuff first. I might do a middle video trying to make some weight molds as a trial run.

The mega craw is the updated version with some dimension tweaks and a flat bottom so it can be resin printed.

@@HandCraftedAngling gotcha, thanks!

I need to find a good setting on the thermostat so that the resin is at 25 degrees Celsius

Yeah thats deffinitly what caused your faliure. Where is your temperature probe. Mine is decently high up in the enclosure. If your probe is closer to the bottom the resin temp will be higher due to the temp gradient.

That is an excellent Idea! Ill give it a shot this weekend.

It would depend on what the mold is made of. If its made out of what I use it should last a really long time. I would be happy to take a look at it if you share the link.

@@HandCraftedAngling it’s the same colour as the one in your video. I would imagine it’s the same. It’s on eBay Australia.

Also 110 dollars is way to much for that

I would recomend against buying that. Its a ripoff for the price. My mold files are free for personal use. The squid mold file in this video is free to download.

@@HandCraftedAngling yeah. It’s actually 100 which is about 75 US I think

You bet!

Glad to help!

If you are new to bait making I do not recommend using this product. And do not keep these baits in any sort of warm environment. If you live in the south you better keep them in your ice chest

I deffinitly agree with this not being a beginner friendly plastic. How supseptible is this stuff to heat? Ive heard it has issues but its winter and I cant test that. Is a cooler really nessisairy or does it just need to be kept out of the sun?

If you live up north you may be ok. I had them in my tackle bag in mid 90’s and they were a gooey mess

Yea I am very excited to try it out on the water. I'm working on some new soft plastic designs and revamping some of my old ones. As soon as I get everything in order I'm gonna start making some in different colors and making some finished baits. I have a lot of ideas for this stuff if it works out.

This is what I use. Its a polycarbonate petg blend. tinyurl.com/yu99c3as

Thank you all of my models are on my thingiverse page which is linked in the description. I am not sure what a titex model is. I appreciate the offer of donation but don't worry about that.

Thabks glad you like it!

It should be fixed give it a try now www.thingiverse.com/thing:5603288

Awesome! Thank you!

All good i really hope that link broke recently and it wasnt broken the whole time and no one told me for a year and change lol

@@HandCraftedAngling ya that would suck

Glad you like it

Glad you like the idea! It definitely works and I can definitely make it work well. My problem is I have so many ideas I want to work on and I need to start prioritizing ideas. There are plenty of models to come. I really want to get started on my bait design series. I think there is quite a bit to come from that.
