3D printable Topwater Lure "Lucky 13"

thingiverse

3D printable Topwater Lure that authentically replicates my father's favorite "Lucky 13" Topwater Lure that is unfortunately no longer sold. The model was designed only to have material where absolutely needed, in order to cut down on mass and replicate the buoyancy of the actual lure. Ideally, the model was designed to be printed vertically like pictured. In order to ensure bed adhesion during the print, I used both a rim of 20mm and a support structure angle of 15 degrees. The print was printed successfully in 80% infill and in .12mm layers in order to achieve the ideal mass. The Print will be the main body of the lure which can be easily “built” into a functional lure by using three of the 15mm Round link loop screws and two #2 sized treble hooks (Both are linked below, but alternatives of the same size should work). This Lure has "allegedly" secured at least 35 decently sized bass in Maine so hopefully other people will have similar luck with it. https://www.amazon.com/Fishing-Boilies-Terminal-Accessories-Sublight/dp/B07PN48ZBR/ref=sr_1_2?crid=30N0WQIUMH987&keywords=fishing+lure+screw+loop&qid=1660791792&sprefix=fishing+lure+screw+loop%2Caps%2C42&sr=8-2 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07PQWZ8XT/ref=sspa_dk_detail_5?pd_rd_i=B08JBYHYYF&pd_rd_w=Punw4&content-id=amzn1.sym.ea4fd32b-1001-4f9b-9dd5-0bce86fe8110&pf_rd_p=ea4fd32b-1001-4f9b-9dd5-0bce86fe8110&pf_rd_r=7RYZK8DEQ1V5WKKH7P02&pd_rd_wg=GqJf6&pd_rd_r=2a0c2b34-af15-4095-9098-4d9669f3d630&s=sporting-goods&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9kZXRhaWxfdGhlbWF0aWM&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUEzU0dWS1dEVUpaSzJDJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwNTI1MzExM1FHVE1RUk9MTEpDMCZlbmNyeXB0ZWRBZElkPUEwOTc3NzU5M0M3T0JZVzVKVUIwJndpZGdldE5hbWU9c3BfZGV0YWlsX3RoZW1hdGljJmFjdGlvbj1jbGlja1JlZGlyZWN0JmRvTm90TG9nQ2xpY2s9dHJ1ZQ&th=1&psc=1
