Hi! I buy lead sticks from fishing tackle shops and cut off the necessary piece. I press it to the thickness of the slot in the lure with pliers. After inserting the lead into the lure I seal it with baking soda and superglue. It hardens quickly and can be sanded. I also received pieces of lead pipe from plumber friends who recovered them from old plumbing.🙂
@@67MaxfishMax, i have another question, do you use PLA or PETG or what type of filament? I'm waiting for my 3D printer and for about 1 week just looking to gather as much info 😁!!! Now I'm trying to figure out how I'll make an enclosure for it, also was looking for a filament dryer, someone told me i should have one... Humbly asking you for any knowledge that you can share bpt from 3d printing and making lures with 3d printer.
@@nagyn.5027 Initially I used PLA but I gave up because it deforms at high temperatures (for example if you leave the lure box in the car in the summer when it's very hot). The advantage of PLA is that you can make lures from two halves where you put the wire and weights and then glue them together with glue. With PETG there is a problem with gluing between two pieces of PETG. Some people say that two-component epoxy glues work but I tried it and it didn't work. I only use these adhesives to fix the wire in the holes and when mounting the lips. I still stayed with PETG. I print the lures in one piece with the holes for the wire, lead and lips where necessary. I have an Ender 3Pro printer on which I have been printing the same PETG filament for five years and it works fine with the same settings. For convenience, I have not tried other brands, even if they are cheaper. I use the temperature indications from the manufacturer with very small adjustments. I still use the original magnetic printing bed, which I clean periodically and adjust the flatness of the bed. I also bought a spare magnetic bed and a glass one but they are still in their packaging. I do not use the enclosure. I once bought materials to do it but I consider it not necessary. PLA and PETG are not needed. I have the printer in a guest room where there is not much dust or large temperature variations. However, I do not open the window during printing. When I'm not using the printer I cover it. The filament dryer is a good investment. I print directly from it. Before I had the dryer, when I finished a print session I would wrap the roll in a foil bag with a few sachets of silica gel I had collected from shoe boxes 🙂 I put some lure models on cults3D. There I wrote the printing details, the settings I use and the necessary accessories. cults3d.com/en/3d-model/various/chubby-vibe-lure
Hi Max! great lure!!
I have a question, do you make your weight that you put in your lure? if so how? or where you get your weight, lead?
Thank you!
