It does take several hours to print a lure. I have printed about 10 so far and am working on my next .stl file to print nine at a time. If I can do that in five hours, I would call that time ahead as I dont think I can do anywhere near that detail or that kinda of design in 30 mins using PVC or wood. I will post some pictures as I progress but it seems to be fairly economical, very custom and if you can print twice in a day, at 5 to 9 lure bodies a day thats 10 to 18 ready to be weighted, eyed, hooked and painted by the next day. I am new but really getting excited at the chances of making some real cool, one off lures that are not bodies being painted or something I have to cut and sand by hand. There is something about that aspect yes but, its just not my cup of tea.
I would like to see more users ideas and what software they are using, printers and such. People who have tested through wires vs screw eyes on polymers and overall results of printing them themselves.
