🐟 Vertical/Pelagic Series: BLEAK SLUG TAIL 12cm
I present a 3D-printable mold for soft plastic baits, inspired by the BLEAK SLUG TAIL model. This is the next professional addition to the Vertical/Pelagic Series, designed for precision fishing. 🎯
✅ Project Specifications:
- Model: Bleak Slug Tail 📏
- Lure Length: 12 cm 📐
- Realism: Body design based on a 3D scan of a live bleak 🐟
- Tail Type: Slug (straight/pin tail), perfect for vertical and pelagic techniques 🧊
- Design: Two-part mold with alignment pins for a perfect fit every time 🧩
🛠️ Printing Information:
- Material: High-temp filament recommended (e.g., ABS, ASA, or specialized mold resins) if you plan to pour hot plastisol 🌡️
- Infill: Minimum 20-30% to maintain dimensional stability 🧱
- Layer Height: 0.12mm - 0.16mm to capture the fine scale details on the body ✨
💡 Tips & Tricks:
- Use a mold release agent (e.g., silicone oil) before pouring to ensure easy removal of the bait 💧
- The mold includes venting channels to minimize air bubbles and ensure a clean finish 🌬️
