Swimbait

thingiverse

Human: 5 Piece Segmented Swimbait I designed in fusion 360 then Airbrushed (Work In Progress ) 5 1/2 Inch length. Uses eye bolts and small nails to create hinges. Lighter infill will allow the lure to float while heavier infill causes the lure to sink. Some tuning might be needed to get these to stay upright in the water but I haven't had much difficulty doing so. Note that lighter lures seem to be just fine with the weight of the hooks keeping the lure upright, and the 100% infill tends to lay over when the retrieve is stopped, some additional weight at the bottom resolves this. ⚠️⚠️ Until I can get predetermined hard points inserted into the body, recommend printing this at a dense infill (more than 30%) just to ensure that eyebolts have sufficient material to hold onto and not pull out of the lure. ⚠️⚠️ CHANGE SLICER UNITS TO MM or else HARDWARE WILL NOT FIT. This thing makes plenty of noise as is but a rattle can be added in future versions. CHANGE LOG October 12, 2018 - Changed height of cavity where closed loop of the eye bolt sits to make assembly and alignment easier. Made alignment holes larger so aligning and screwing eye bolts into sections should be easier. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9NCVeAyxofk&feature=youtu.be Music: https://www.bensound.com
