This is a 3D printable injection mold designed for producing soft plastic lures inspired by the legendary Frapp Geko 190mm — a large‑format vibrotail developed with Russian pro angler Andrey Pitertsov, designed specifically for trophy pike and zander fishing . The mold features a single cavity for efficient production and is optimized for FDM printing (Bambu Lab, Prusa, Creality, etc.), while also being compatible with SLA/DLP resin printers.
The 190mm Geko is the 6.9" version in the series, weighing approximately 32.5g . The lure is characterized by its unique scaly surface, rounded drop‑like tail heel, and concentrated tail action with minimal body roll — making it ideal for very slow retrieves with light weights .
Injection Specifications:
Injector diameter: 16mm (compatible with standard hand injectors and small injection machines)
FDM Printing Recommendations:
Layer height: 0.08mm maximum for best surface quality and detail reproduction
Recommended material: PETG or any filament with a higher temperature resistance than PLA (ABS, ASA, Nylon, PET‑CF, PC, etc.)
For large models (over 5 inches / 125mm):
Wall loops (perimeters): 12–15 lines
Top solid layers: 10 layers
Bottom solid layers: 10 layers
Infill density: 10–20% (adjust as needed for strength vs. material usage)
Recommended orientation: cavity side up for best surface quality
Can be printed without supports or with minimal supports depending on orientation
For best results, print with a brim or raft to improve bed adhesion
Mold Features:
Single cavity for the 190mm Geko profile (6.9")
Scaly textured body with pronounced plate‑like relief creating powerful hydroacoustic vibrations
Distinctive rounded, drop‑shaped tail heel that activates at minimum retrieve speeds — works effectively even on very slow retrieves
Concentrated tail action with minimal body roll, ideal for slow presentations
Longitudinal hook grooves on back and belly for Texas rigging and jig head mounting
Optimized runner system for proper material flow
Venting channels along the cavity for air escape during injection
Alignment pins and matching holes for consistent mold closure
Designed for use with hand injectors and small injection machines
Compatible with plastisol, soft PVC, and other soft plastic materials
Thick, durable mold geometry designed for repeated use
