I'm a casual 3D modeler and began with the idea of making lures. I watched your whole video and enjoyed it a lot. Its fast, but I can obviously change that if I want. It is giving me good guidance on how to use Fusion as a newbie. Thanks for the content :)
I'm from Taiwan, and I also enjoy fishing. In order to fish, I bought a 3D printer to print my own lures. I also took classes to learn ZBrush for designing lures. However, everything didn't turn out to be as easy as I imagined. Recently, I came across Fusion 360 and watched many tutorial videos on UA-cam. It's amazing how there are multiple methods to create the same fish scales. Your video tutorial was more challenging, but the end results were much more detailed. I'm glad to have come across your tutorial videos, as they have taught me different approaches to create lures that I love. You're awesome!
Hello my countryman :) I started my 3d design/print journey in 2021 (just for fun), and quickly I realized it has a lot of potential on lure making. Since I have used AutoCAD before, it didn't take me long to pick up Fusion 360. I am still learning new techniques on the regular basis by watching UA-cam videos, I guess the learning process will never end. Just curious what kind of lures are you making? For salt water or fresh water fishing? Are people making soft plastic baits over there? I know bass somehow got into the water system, I have not seen people making their own baits. I would love to promote CALD in Taiwan if possible. Feel free to post comments ask questions or request.
@@yauckoutdoors I primarily make freshwater lures. I've tried using PETG for making soft plastic bait molds, but due to the high temperature, the molds deformed after just two uses. So, I switched to using silicone for making soft plastic bait molds. I have also used PETG to make VIB and minnow lures. It brings me double the joy when I catch fish using the lures I made myself.😄
Thanks for tuning in. Hope you enjoy the video. I might do a couple of different body styles based on the blank. Let me know what you want to see. I might also make a hard swimbait from the blank too. The possibility is endless, when will I have time for the Gator lure v2 design?? Hint hint 😉
I’ve started to mess with CAD recently, so these videos are really enjoyable to watch. Would love to see tutorial version of this with slower pace on the progress.
I have been searching for someone with your expertise for hire for too long. Today your channel is on my feed. 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 Superior skills my man. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I have been watching your videos and have no idea what to say. Guess the first thing to say is, young man, you are fantastic!!! you have obviously worked with Fusion for quite a while. I am just a beginner. I'm like Patrik (below). I would LOVE a tutorial on this Bluegill and one on your Goby. Actually I would prefer for you to move in next door so I could sit and watch over your shoulder. I'm at an age that I fear that I may not long enough to learn half this stuff. But I'm not giving up, for sure. I can't thank you enough for sharing your work.
There is a tutorial on the bluegill design. If anything not clear, you can comment your questions with the time stamp. Age is not the limit. Passion will drive you. If you get stuck, let me know, I will help. Cheers!
Awesome work and designing. Really enjoy your videos. As we grow as a company we’re working towards more proprietary designs and profiles. I have previous experience in raincad drawing simple landscape designs and irrigation systems. This is inspiring me to find time and learn this process! Thanks!
As a community we all grow together. I am still spending fair amount of time on leaning or watching how other people use the application. Feel free to post your questions, we all love to help and come up with solutions in this community. Cheers!
AMAZING! ive loved fishing all my life and have found a love for 3d printing in the past couple years. Would you consider sharing the STL for this? I would even offer to print it out of resin and send you it!
Not this one, I have another fat tail version with realistic scale pattern. I still need to finalize some design but once it’s done I will make it available for purchase on cults3d. Thanks for watching.
This is great man! I have had a filly style bait on my list for a while then I got distracted with hard baits! LOL. Going to be using some of these techniques for sure!
This is UNBELIEVABLE! I am amazed and fascinated by your computer program skills. I feel as though that is the area of bait making I lack in the most being a sculptor and an artist. I feel like the integration of this technological skill would take my hard baits to the NEXT level. I would be more than willing to pay for training or help. How did you learn this program so well??
I plan to put it up on Cults. Currently I am working on the fat tail version, as I am not 100% satisfied with the action of the current design. Stay tuned. You can drop me an email, so when it’s available I will let you know.
I want to be a bait maker but still struggling with Fusion 360. Any advice, like training material for the software? Advice: for better injection, you can add drainage for the hard elements.
You can start with a more basic tool like Tinkercad. Also give yourself an easier project to start, like a hard body popper or a spook, and then gradually add features. Once you get a hang of the features like extrude, combine, sketch, etc, you can switch to Fusion 360 and try some more complicated designs. You can always post questions in the comment sections, I will see if I can do a tutorial to help. Cheers!
This is awesome. I did a bluegill design too but haven't got the chance to finish the design. My reasons are the same. No gilly bait anywhere in stores.
If you do get further, I recommend adding the side fins on the body. I believe they will make the lure swim more naturally. Also make the tail part thicker. I think mine is on the thinner side. Cheers!
@@064pointbreak I meant the artificial fins that come out straight from the middle of the body, no angle, not necessary the pectoral fins. They will catch water and cause the body to swim. You can refer to the Berkeley gilly design. So no need to make a 4-piece mold.
Thank you. I do not currently. I have two leech molds free for download at sketchfab, will add more to it soon. If you have special requests we can talk offline. Cheers!
Just came across your channel. Great stuff here. I'm just starting my adventure with Fusion. There is any chance to get open file to have reference? Greetings from Poland
Thanks for watching. Currently I don’t have plans to share fusion files. This is the full video ua-cam.com/video/3NWLRMK7LE0/v-deo.htmlsi=wNhTh3DOanjqJ2tc Hope the non sped up version helps. You can follow along, and let me know if you encounter any questions.
Thank you for this video! Its a great starting point! I am having problems with getting the pipe sculpted on the pectoral fin. The point in the video at ~1:46 jumps from the Combine to the Move without any explanation....Is there another step required. Also when extruding you mention Extrude - Intersect but you choose New Body....which is correct?
Thank you for watching and leaving questions. The strategy for the pectoral fin is: 1. Create a fin by itself without changing the main body - thus NEW BODY (so we can avoid having gaps later when we rotate the fin and combine it with the body - if we just cut it out directly and make the fin/body two non-overlapping pieces, we might end up some weird gap when we combine them) 2. Trim the extruded fin to fit the body profile, using Combine with INTERSECT. Now we have the fin that has the same surface as the main body, while preserving the main body. So I probably have skipped a few screen captures. Here is the full video ua-cam.com/video/3NWLRMK7LE0/v-deo.htmlfeature=shared hope it helps.
Another easier method: when you extrude, set the Extent Type to "To Object", and choose the body surface for the Object, Operation to New Body. But this only works when the projected profile falls on a SINGLE surface. In my example, pectoral fin does, but not the gill plate, which falls on the side and bottom surfaces of the main body when you project the gill plate profile to the main body surface.
@@yauckoutdoors thank you! I see where I missed a step on selecting the body as part of the Combine. This video teaches several aspects of modeling with Fusion360! Well done!
This is a great video I'm just learning how to use fusion 360 and your video has helped me a lot. Is there a more detailed video somewhere I could follow along too?
Detailed video is coming up. Fusion 360 keeps evolving so I am learning too. I will share whenever I learn something new. It’s an ongoing process. Cheers!
The plastisol will shrink during cooling, the big ball is like a reservoir so when it cools down, it will have something to draw. Without it, the resulting bait could have dent at places.
I usually shoot at just a little bit over 300F. It’s a bit tricky and the room temperature is a big factor too, unless you are using some heat resistant filament.
I am shooting plastisol at 290ish F, PLA melting point is about 330 but it could start to deform at 310 depending on the pressure. So as along as you pay attention to the temperature, you should be fine.
@@LureLogicOfficial I think that's when you leave it for a long period of time. 3D printed molds are more for prototyping or short runs. If you want something for mass production, you should go for metal molds or at least silicon. I do sometimes mess up the temperature, and end up destroying the PLA molds. It's really a border line process so make sure you have a good thermometer.
Also I think the plastisol being there helps too. If it's empty in the cavity and you just heat the mold up, the gravity will pull the detail and deform it. Hot plastisol would become the support and PLA would have no place to go, thus maintain the shape...
Yes it’s always a good practice to vent your molds. In the past I always thought 3D printed molds don’t close very well, so I could get away without venting. But now based on my experience, I think venting will help in most cases. It’s like a cheap insurance, there is no reason not to do it. Cheers!

I am working on the fat rail version. Once it’s ready I will make it available on cults3d.
good, I like your video, because study some for me
Have you released the 3D print file for this anywhere? I would love to download and print my own mold for bait. Great work!

Thanks! Fusion 360 is great. I keep finding new (to me) techniques, and think people would think they are cool too.
@@yauckoutdoors I joke that they named it Fusion 360 because there are 360 different ways to get to the same outcome 😆😆
😂 So true. It all depends on which way you feel more comfortable and perform more effectively in.

Cool design
Very cool thanks
That's pretty sweet bud
I'm not a user of sketch up, or 3d printer. But I am a hobbyist baiter, and would buy a mold like that out of aluminum.
I haven’t worked with a CNC machine but it would be nice to see one get cut.
Man this is amazing . Cant wait to learn and try one. A ny tips on where to start learning
Check out the other tutorial video where I introduced the key features for lure design. Good luck!
@@yauckoutdoors thanks legend I will definitely subbed keep up the good work
So good.
Great job!

Hi Yauck, Any way we can download your designs? (Awesome Channel BTW)
Sorry not at this point. Maybe down the road. Thanks for tuning in.
what was the big sphear void for? how does it help alot? sorry new to molding
The plastisol will shrink during cooling, the big ball is like a reservoir so when it cools down, it will have something to draw. Without it, the resulting bait could have dent at places.
@@yauckoutdoors interesting thanx
How does your mold hold up if you are using PLA? At the injection temperature of 315 degrees the resin should melt the PLA mold.
I usually shoot at just a little bit over 300F. It’s a bit tricky and the room temperature is a big factor too, unless you are using some heat resistant filament.
Yo I like that video good job I use a 3D pen I'm not smart enough to use a 3D printer I like to make my own fishing lure stencils
3D printer is a great tool for making painting stencils. @GulfStream Outdoors has a video on how to make those for 3D hardbody lures. Check him out.
How did the mold not melt or get deformed by the plastisol’s heat?
I am shooting plastisol at 290ish F, PLA melting point is about 330 but it could start to deform at 310 depending on the pressure. So as along as you pay attention to the temperature, you should be fine.
@@yauckoutdoors PLA glass transition temperature is 140F (60C) it can bend and deform from the sun inside a car.

Hello
Curious to know if you sell your molds ?
Currently I don’t. Please check back later (or sub and turn on notification), as I might push some designs out in the future.
Would you sell this file?
I am making a fat tail version of this. Once I test it I will release it on cults3d.
Would you sell a mold
I have some on cults3d, but not this one.
u make molds to sale.
I have some on cults3d (search yauck outdoors), but not this one.
