Perfectly designed for FDM or resin 3D printing, this injection mold allows you to create five 5.5-inch long baits that are sure to become a staple in your tackle box.

The 5.5-inch Thicc Stixx mold requires approximately 4.40 fluid ounces of plastisol and is compatible with all standard soft plastic hand injectors with a 5oz capacity or larger.

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 support material is needed. If your slicing program asks for supports, simply decline. It's asking to support 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 350°F (177°C), 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.
