Larry is there a 3D printer that you would recommend for lure making? What type of characteristics should be looked for in a printer to have enough detail in the molds?

There are many others who know a great deal more than I do about them, but from what I can ascertain you pretty much get what you pay for. size is one element to consider and of course how "pixelated" the final printed piece turn out.
I'd do a google search to read reviews, and would want to see something produced on the machine before I made the investment. Also, obviously knowlege of how to operate a CAD program is also needed.
best,

As I recently posted ... I'd highly suggest finding a local printer and working with them to design your part/s for you at least until you have the experience in designing and printing as there is a pretty big learning curve to owning a printer.
