This is a 3D printable injection mold for producing soft plastic lures inspired by the legendary Keitech Easy Shiner — a classic narrow-profile vibrotail that combines the slim body of the Shad Impact with the active tail of the Swing Impact. The mold features a single cavity and is optimized for FDM printing (Bambu Lab, Prusa, Creality, etc.), while also being compatible with SLA/DLP resin printers.

The Easy Shiner 190mm (7.5") is a large-format version designed for targeting trophy pike, zander, musky, and saltwater predators. It features a slim, flat‑bodied profile with a finely cut paddle tail that produces a wide‑wobbling rolling action at any retrieve speed. 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:

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 (7.5") Easy Shiner profile

Slim, flat‑bodied shad design with asymmetrical low center of gravity for stable swimming with subtle rolling action

Thin, flexible tail stem that activates at extremely slow retrieve speeds

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

Important note: This is an inspired/replica design based on the original Keitech Easy Shiner lure. Not an official Keitech product. For personal use and small‑batch production only.

Настройки 3D-печатиRecommended FDM Printing Settings

To achieve maximum dimensional accuracy and durability, we recommend the following FDM printing settings:

For models 5 inches and larger, use 10 bottom layers, 10 top layers, and 8–12 wall lines.For models larger than 6 inches, increase the wall count to 12–15 wall lines for maximum rigidity and strength.Layer height: 0.08 -0.12 mm. This provides the highest surface quality and excellent detail reproduction.Always dry the filament before printing and properly tune retraction settings to minimize stringing.PLA is not recommended, as it has poor heat resistance and may deform under elevated temperatures.PETG is the recommended material for most applications. Higher-performance engineering filaments can also be used if required.The higher the quality of the filament, the better the dimensional accuracy, surface finish, and overall print quality. For best results, we recommend using premium filaments from reputable manufacturers.All molds feature a standard 16 mm injector port diameter, which is compatible with approximately 99% of silicone bait injectors currently in use.

Also, don't forget that you can improve the quality of your model and give it a glossy finish by coating it with UV resin or UV clear coat. One coat works well, but two coats will give the best results.
