    How do you go about finding this information, are you using solidworks for some sort of analysis or?

    3D Printed Baits

    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.

    LOL, You are not too far either. Table Rock is just across the northern boarder. I just didnt see very much of this in the search, I have been playing with it for a bit and am looking at trying to make a run in the hobby designing, printing, and painting my own lures. I have made a few out of wood but I have a CAD degree and that is where my love for design is. I bought a DLP printer last week and have already printed out a few prototypes on it. I was just looking for like minded people to share the interest with and possibly swap ideas on lure design when it comes to CAD models vs actual working designs.
  4. I know this has probably been beaten to death, I have searched but I didn't find very many people actually designing lures in CAD and printing them. How many of you actually print your lures and paint them vs make them out of PVC or Wood?
