Very cool! I run a prusa mk2s and a cr10-s4. I'll have to print some of these out.

It takes just under 2 hours to print a batch of 6 (12 halves) like you see in the photos. But i run my printhead a bit slow to help increase quality. I am also printing at 0.2mm layer thickness and could easily increase that to 0.3mm for faster prints. But speed doesn't matter, you just let the machine run.
I have printed parts for my CNC router that took almost 30 hours.

Next step. Painting.
Please don't laugh. I have never described my profession as "lure painter", but our close by lakes only had one crappie in it that was super critical of my paint jobs... and we dynamited him out.
All latex paint, sprayed through a cheap Harbor Freight external mix airbrush. You don't need expensive equipment to do this.
After this point, the screw eyes are added and the lures are given a very heavy coat of epoxy, thereby making them about bullet proof against wear and abrasion.
I will show my epoxy spinner setup next. It rotates the lures to keep the heavy coating from running.

All that matters is if the fish like them.
What size screw eyes do you sue?
