This was an attempt to make a mold for a soft plastic lure. I say an attempt since I was unable to find someone to test and print it.
The "mote" around the part mold is meant to have a thin gasket since 3D printing is often never perfect and I've never made a 3D printed mold (hoping a smaller surface area would increase the pressure and made a tighter seal).
The mold is meant to be injected though a 5mm hole on the top, and there is a vent hole in the rear.
On opposite corners there are 2 positioning pegs and 2 holes for clamping the mold shut (use some fastener in the holes to clamp shut) (you may want to also use C-clamps).
If you do print this and try to use the mold, let me know how it goes and I may make changes to the design :^).
