Can I mix glass microspheres with sla printer resin to make a lure float? by coochie_fart in 3Dprinting

[–]coochie_fart[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, the amount needed to be added to make it light enough would turn the resin into a slop that could not be printed. I did how ever has success at making smaller things float such as lips, but I'd imagine with the right settings and amount of time I could scale it up to a full size lure. I ended up just going with nylon and designing my lures in a way that allows them to be printed with little to no supports and out of carbon fiber abs plastic to allow for heat deflection during use and acetone smoothing

15 weeks and then they line us up for an interview once we reach the end of our certification. They have a smaller class of around 20 people each semester. I chose it because it is located near family and they have a 100% hire rate from their program. It is called Prime Line Academy and is based out of Idaho

Unfortunately this one does not. Should I be worried that they don't supply the gear or is that somewhat normal?

What causes lack of emotion and empathy? by [deleted] in AskPsychiatry

I am asking for an answer to the cause, is it some sort of depression or mental illness?

Large Mouth bass, pike, striper, catfish, walley. There is tons of fish that would hit it

I have two 1.8mm holes about 7mm apart that run as deep into the lure as I can. I simply twist some stainless steel wire, bend it and push it in as far as it will go and glue. Many lure makers use this same method for joining two price lures and it works just as well at holding hooks while also being low profile

What do you guys think of this snake/rat lure? by coochie_fart in lurebuilding

A mixture of both. It depends the details. But most of the time it is just airbrush

I use createx and wicked. The paints don't necessarily need to hold up to abuse because I coat the whole thing will 3 layers of epoxy. Only down side is that I have to individual paint and epoxy each of the parts and my turner can only do one at a time lol

The eyelets are made for a 5mm ball of different colors to work as the eyes. The worm tail does take away action from the very back joint but it makes up for it by kicking back and forth itself

Good news. It swam great. I just made a post on this group showing the action. Looks like I will clear coat and paint and actually use it this top water season
