Perfect for targeting Large Mouth Bass, Walleye, Musky, and other predatory fish, this mold ensures your tackle box is ready for your next fishing adventure.The 6.5-inch GatorBait mold requires approximately 5.5 fluid ounces of plastisol to fill, making it super simple to pour even for the most novice bait makers.

A thicker shell in each mold cavity will help prevent warping from the heat of hot plastisol. Print with 25% infill with the Gyroid Infill pattern only. I find that Gyroid Infill is better at stabilizing the mold cavities in all dimensions. No support material is needed. If your slicing program asks for supports, simply decline. It's asking to support the label on the bottom of the mold, and that is easily bridgeable. Licenses and RightsThis work is licensed under a Standard Digital File License.Digital files have a strict non-commercial, personal use only license.You shall not share, sub-license, sell, rent, host, transfer, or distribute in any way the digital file or 3D printed versions of this object, nor any other derivative work of this object in its digital or physical format (including remixes of this object).You cannot host these files on other digital platforms, web stores or cloud repositories.The objects may not be used in any way whatsoever in which you charge money or collect fees.✖ No sharing or redistributing in any way of the 3D files or derivatives✖ No remixing✖ Non-commercial Use (only for personal use) See Usage Rights Below Hobbyist / Commercial Mold License / Commercial Bait Production Usage Rights Hobbyist - Feel free to print and use these molds!

Only work with plastisol with the proper safety equipment, knowledge, and adequate ventilation.Visit my articles on MakingBaits.com for Tutorials, Recipes, and More bait-making information! https://www.makingbaits.com/bait-making-101-open-pouring-basics-comprehensive-beginners-guide Check out MakingBaits' videos on YouTube     Follow The Makers Workbench on:InstagramYouTubeRumbleLocalsPaypal.meTheMakersWorkbench.com (Returning August 2024)Follow Making Baits on:InstagramYouTubeFacebook GroupTwitter / XTikTokPaypal.mePatreonMakingBaits.com
