Method Feeder - Carp Fishing - Parametric

thingiverse

I needed a reliable method feeder for carp fishing without breaking the bank on shipping costs. Although I haven't put this one through its paces, it looks like an excellent starting point. Keep me posted if you decide to print one - especially share your success stories and whether or not you catch any fish with it! You can use a standard slider weight by threading your line through the feeder's top hold (front to back), then string up your lead, and feed the line back-to-front through the bottom feeder hole. Add some bait and a hook to complete the setup! To prevent wear and tear on the plastic parts, consider adding beads between your lead and the feeder. One potential issue is that less infill creates an air pocket. You might need a slightly larger lead or print this with more infill for optimal performance. I plan to test one at 50% and another at 100% infill to see how they compare. The model is fully customizable - simply open it in any SCAD program, adjust the length and width of the method feeder, and it will scale accordingly. I successfully tested lengths ranging from 10mm to 1000mm with a width of 30mm, achieving impressive results.
