Best 3D printer for Fishing Lures 2021 - Don't Buy This Printer!

You will find tons of 3D printer videos using FDM printers, here is why you should not buy one to make fishing lures in 2021 and beyond...

Best Mid Size Printers

I already have a FDM printer because I like printing guns so I'm going to start using it but definitely upgrade to a resin printer after I get addicted to making lures. I've been able to tune my printer to create some sweet buttery prints but the resolution looks way better. The PLA + filament I use for my lower receivers is pretty strong and good for heat deflection (I run my ar 15 setup on my PLA plus)

Maybe update this information? Materials like nylon with a good heat deflection or using a material similar to chinchilla for directly printing lures on fdm. Nylon is fairly easy to print as far as technical polymers go, and chinchilla requires a direct drive extruder, but beyond that i bet most could get exactly what they want from those

Been on the fence about which type to get for printing tackle. I mainly want to print baitheads and swimbaits. Would you say the resins out there are strong enough for say crankbait bills with a wire-through design? And cost wise for consumables like resin, etc how expensive is it to create a small run of lures? Thanks for this video. I’m coming closer to choosing a resin printer because of it.

Your content is amazing! I am prototyping a hardbait made out of two halves with details like a rattle chamber inside, does it make sense to get the two crankbait halves out of a SLA printer and glue them together? Or melt them together with acetone?
I really want to get into it now, super cool how cheap these printers got and how much content there is now!

Good Day Sir❗️
Thanks For The Education❤️❗️

One Question:
Which 3D Printer Would You Recommend For InDustrial Or HighOut Of Plastic And Hard Baits?

I Have Some Ideas I’d Like To Put On The Market.

I Agree and disagree. Fold molds I agree. For hard lures like crankbaits FDM works much better than Resin. I built custom crankbaits. I have both a FDM and Resin printers. I've run 3 years of prototyping on both printers. Resins are not strong enough. The FDM PLA works extremely good for hard baits. You have to think once you paint the lures and apply clear coats. It's literally unbreakable. I've never had one break yet. The Resin are way to fragile. No offense but I personally think you should try testing before putting out statements based on opinions.
