Hinged Lure

I chose to print this lure standing upright because the details look better in that configuration. In order to loosen the hinge I had to move it open and close several times and pick out support material but eventually it does loosen up and move freely. One thing I noticed is that after about an hour of fishing the PLA absorbed a lot of water and the lure became heavy and then the action wasn't great. I was able to coat most of the lure with resin, but obviously didn't coat the hinge as that would stop it from moving freely. So PLA is probably not the best material to use for this lure due to it's moisture absorbent property. I have a detailed explanation of how I painted and finished off the lure in this youtube video: https://youtu.be/zk6hYU6PHKE
