Very nice John!

Do not throw your print away if gears are stuck. Drill the center gear off and print the only this one as 2 halves divided horizontally resized 85%. Keep the hole as same size. You can easily plug these 2 halves at center and use your guide.

That’s a work of art! And inspirational!

I posted my email with spaces, maybe it will be visible?

I wanted to display my email for sending, but it is not displayed?

Or posted a link to download it here?

Hello, do you still have the STL file to print this part, because I need it. I am in Belgium and it costs 70 euros if I have to have it shipped. It would be nice if you could send it by email

You should try using some 3d print bed adhesive to prevent parts from popping off the plate. I got a tube of Magigoo off Amazon for less than $20 and it works great so far.

Bass pro sells those upper water pump kits. The price is kinda high, almost 60 dollars. I put one in my 115hp mercury. It's a early 70s and all the replacement parts fit.

It looks amazing. He could be a Disney character. I just wish the legs and tail were snap on like the head instead of segmented like other toys.

Mine only took two hours 😂

What’s the part number for the pump. I have the same motor but don’t know what pump fits

Wish this was a video of the actual repair.

Nice video John!! Looks cool! I make fishing videos too and I love watching yours!! Keep up the awesome job!! 🤜🤛💪

what paint do you use to color the fur 

hi john i do a little tying and wondered if you had a method of getting tying thread from a large spool to a small spool to fit bobbin holders as i remember you saying on one of your videos about something of that nature

I dont know why you haven't got a comment yet, but good job man. Jig looks great, and it looks like you have had a lot of time behind that vise. That will surely catch crappie

Thanks for the inspiration and tutorial I’m going to inlay some feathers into a guitar

DO you by chance work for woods & Water or you just get your supplies from them? Just a curiosity on my end, this jig looks like it would work just fine in many of the lakes around here as well. Yes sir, I do the same thing, I enjoy making my own jigs. and making them unique to me as well.. Nicely done on this one. I truly like how you are cutting the hackle feathers up and making the jigs the way you do, I have not seen too many folks tie like this and I like it. Dale

very nice

Thanks for posting John, I was going to try my hand at it & was looking for how do i do this ideas Thanks again for sharing Steve, Australia

I wonder if something like this would work as a fishing lure

What's the purpose of the guide? Does it prevent the filament from knotting?

Hi john really enjoy your informative tying videos and i watched where you said you have a way of spooling large rolls of thread onto smaller thread bobbins that you can use for tying and am very interested in any info that you could share on that ty

What ender printer do you use and have you made any modifications? Im just starting out and i am enjoying your videos

What print settings did you end up with on last print?

I like the crab. Cool project. Your z axis issues make me grateful for auto z offset on my printer.

Thanks for doing the video i ask for, watched it twice and more than likely will watch again. V's give me a fit to try and tie they roll ever which way when i try tying them, so i have been tying all points on my feather jigs. thanks again for the video.

Can you run down the lake with the graphs extended or have to move them up and down every time you stop and go?

When you stack your v's and place on hook do they roll ever which way? Mine do and yours always look like they stay in place could you do a video on tying v's and bring the camera in a little closer? Nice looking jig.

Great looking jig. Do you fish it dead sticking or under a bobber??

nice wrap bro , Maybe right now I can't make it like that 😅😅😅

Nice, where did you get the wrap book?

John....some of the best patterns I have designed over the last 30 years ha e been made with materials from my junk bucket. I dont throw anything feather materials away because I always end up using them. I like how you go outside of the box and tie patterns that aren't common. I about gaurantee this pattern will get bit. Love the color combinations and how you played the materials down. Great job and excellant color.

Less is more when it comes to crappie jig feathers. 3 V,s and one tip will produce more fish…….

Thank you for the video's

I’ve video. Thank you for showing us your work. Where do you get decals for rods?

Thank you. Looks great

Love that print its great!

Where did you get the taper spreadsheet from? It looks useful.

Nothing better than using feathers we find ourselves. Great looking jig sir, thank you for taking the time to share this with us and know it is appreciated. Nicely done on this jig build and video. Keep up the fun work and have a blessed weekend. Dale

Intresting

I love the Timelapse! This is such a cool print 😊😊😊

Thanks for the video... Did you use their LVS34 Zero Degree transducer mount to attach it? Thanks again

Overwhelmingly I've heard recommendations to position the spine so the rod bends to the fish and never gave the subject further consideration. It would be interesting to finish two identical blanks to two identical builds, save for the alternating spines, and see how they compare casting and fighting fish!

Good tie John.

does it work on ender 3 v2 neo?

i can't believe how hard you've made that for yourself, watching the amount of buggering about was seriously agonizing,

For the planetary gear assembly I didn't have to adjust horizontal expansion and everything "cracked" loose after the print, with just mild pressure from a 1/4inch hex Allen key. I used Cura v5.4.0's Super Quality mode which is 0.12mm and I bumped up infill to 30% on my stock Creality Ender 3 v2. This was using Inland PLA+. Bed temp 52C. Nozzle 215C. The assembly then rotated with moderately strong resistance so I smeared Gojo pumice hand cleaner gel into the assembly and rotated by hand for 30 minutes. Noticing only slight resistance at that point, I used fast tap water flow to thoroughly rinse the abrasive and now it spins super easily. You can flick it and it spins awhile, but it's not too loose. An earlier attempt with -0.16 Horizontal Expansion had so much slop in the gears it would jam randomly.

This looks super helpful! Do you have an STL to share?
