This is a 3D printable injection mold designed for producing soft plastic lures inspired by the legendary Keitech Easy Shiner 6.5" — a proven tournament performer with a wide‑wobbling rolling action that drives predatory fish crazy even at slow retrieve speeds. 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 Easy Shiner combines the head and body of the Shad Impact with the tail of the Swing Impact, creating a slim, flat‑bodied swimbait with a finely cut paddle tail that produces an enticing wobbling action at any retrieve speed . The 6.5" (16.5cm) size weighs approximately and is designed for trophy pike, zander, and large predators in both freshwater and saltwater . The lure is infused with squid scent and salt for enhanced attraction .
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
