🐟 Nays VNM Style – Professional Soft Bait Mold (12cm)
Welcome to the world of custom lure making! This is a precision-engineered, two-part mold inspired by the iconic Nays VNM 5" (12.7 cm) profile. Designed for anglers who want professional-grade results from their own workbench.
✨ Why Choose This Model?
- Signature Action: The geometry is optimized for that classic "body roll" and aggressive tail kick that pike and zander can’t resist.
- Perfect Align System: Features integrated alignment pins to ensure both halves lock together perfectly—say goodbye to messy flashing or offset lines!
- Air-Vent Optimization: Designed with micro-channels to prevent air pockets, ensuring a solid pour every single time.
- High-Detail Finish: The internal cavity is optimized for 3D printing to provide the smoothest possible surface for your baits.
🛠️ Recommended Print Settings
For the best durability against hot plastisol, use these settings:
| Parameter | Recommended Setting |
|---|---|
| Material | PETG (Better heat resistance) or ABS/ASA |
| Layer Height | 0.12mm - 0.16mm (For maximum smoothness) |
| Wall Loops | 4-5 Walls (For structural integrity under clamping) |
| Infill | 25% Gyroid (Helps with even cooling) |
| Supports | None Required! |
[!IMPORTANT]
Maker's Tip: For a "crystal clear" bait finish, lightly sand the inside of the mold with wet sandpaper (800-1200 grit) and apply a thin coat of silicone oil or mold release before your first pour.
🎨 Customize Your Hunt!
With this mold, the possibilities are endless:
- Laminate Pours: Create two-tone baits (dark back/light belly).
- Custom Flake: Load your plastisol with glitter and scents for high-pressure waters.
- Adjustable Density: Mix your plastic soft or hard to change the vibration frequency of the tail.
