3D Printing a Squarebill Crankbait

2 years ago

I wanted to make another hard bait on my 3D printer. Since squarebills are probably one of the most common bass baits I figured it would be a great addition to my arsenal of 3d printed fishing lures.
This lure is of my own design is slow floating and dives to a depth of around 5 ft. Perfect for cruising down low and bouncing off of rock piles. I designed this in fusion 360 and printed it out on my ender 3 pro out of petg. Of course like all of my other lures it can be downloaded for free. This video is broken into two segments. The first part is a design overview and background of the lure. The second part is an assembly guide so you can make this yourself.
