3d Printed Fluid Bed For Powder Painting Larger Lures and Jigs

Thought I would share a video of the 3d printed fluid beds I made for horizontal powder coating of longer jigs. The typical PVC fluid bed was limiting due to its size and amount of paint they hold so I made some beds that better fit the profile of the lure. This used less powder paint and allowed more room for larger lures and dual color patterns. If you have a 3d printer or know someone who does, the beds can be printed fairly cheap (approximately one dollar in filament cost) but may take a few hours.

The video with details can be viewed in the link below.
Additional comments: I would recommend wearing a respirator when powder coating as the stuff can get airborne especially indoors. You might want to spray coat or paint the inside of the fluid bed to help seal any air leaks that could occur in the print. Bake the lures according to the paint manufacturer after coating. This will make the paint very tough and it will not chip easily.
