Printing Instructions
- Layer Height: 0.10 to 0.20mm
- Shells: 10-12
- Infill Pattern: Gyroid
- Infill Density: 25%
I recommend printing the mold at a layer height of 0.10 to 0.20mm with a minimum of 10 shells, with up to 12 shells being ideal. A thicker shell in each mold cavity will help prevent warping from the heat of hot plastisol. Print with 25% infill with the Gyroid Infill pattern only. I find that Gyroid Infill is better at stabilizing the mold cavities in all dimensions. No material is needed. If your slicing program asks for s, simply decline. It's asking to the label on the bottom of the mold, and that is easily bridgeable.

Warning: Pouring Soft Plastic Baits is extremely dangerous, and involves pouring molten vinyl plastisol at 350f (177c), and produces toxic fumes that require an organics rated respirator to filter out properly. Only work with plastisol with the proper safety equipment, knowledge, and adequate ventilation.
