This is a 3D printable injection mold designed for producing soft plastic lures inspired by the NAYS Venom 160 — a high-frequency paddle tail shad from the German brand Nays, founded by tournament angler Dustin Schöne. 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 NAYS Venom is designed for perch, zander, and pike fishing, generating fast and strong tail vibrations while minimizing rolling action — making it particularly effective when fish need more action to be enticed to bite. The lure is infused with a shrimp aroma and is made from a plasticizer‑free compound for reduced environmental impact.

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 160mm (approx. 6.3") Venom profile

High‑frequency vibrating paddle tail that creates fast, strong vibrations even on slow retrieves

Ribbed body design with pronounced lateral texture for enhanced water displacement

Devil Eyes detail for added lifelike appearance

Shrimp‑scented compound geometry integrated into the design

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
