Swimbait – Modular Eyes & Tail
This swimbait is designed for easy printing, customizing, and assembling. The eyes and tail are separate printable parts, allowing you to swap colors, materials, and styles without reprinting the whole body.
Features
- Modular Eyes — Print in different colors or materials for realistic or stylized looks. Press‑fit design for quick installation.
- Interchangeable Tail — Flexible or rigid tail options depending on your filament choice. Tail slides into a reinforced slot for a secure hold.
- Optimized Body Shape — Balanced profile for smooth swimming action and stable tracking.
- Hook & Hardware Ready — Includes mounting points for split rings, hooks, and optional internal weights.
Assembly
- Print the body, eyes, and tail separately.
- Press‑fit or glue the eyes into the recessed sockets.
- Slide the tail into the rear slot; use a drop of flexible adhesive if needed.
- Add hooks, split rings, and weights as desired.
- Seal with epoxy or lure clear coat for durability.
Notes
- You can scale the model up or down to match local baitfish sizes.
- Designed for easy customization—paint, airbrush, or hydro‑dip as you like.
