Description

I've been fishing with self-made floats for a long time, and now I only fish with 3D-printed floats.

I designed this 100 mm float with a 1.6 mm antenna and a 1.2 mm keel.
Its buoyancy is excellent, as is its sturdiness.
Weight : about 0,3 g, depending on post-print finishes and filling.
Simply add a segment of silicone to the antenna and one or two to the keel.

Added 12/2024:

A 130 mm body-down ball float“, identical design, with a 80 mm keel.
For the price indicated, you can download the 2 sizes, 100mm and 130mm.

NEW - June 2025 - SEA TESTS

We used this float for smelt fishing on the Médoc Atlantic coast (France).
The results were exceptional, despite the heatwave (over 37°C) and low tidal coefficients (+/- 50):
➡️ 250 smelts in 3 days, caught by a single fisherman.

Neither heat nor large mullets damaged this float. It proved highly efficient, sensitive and robust, even with the constant wind from the ocean.
I gave some to other fishermen, who were amazed to see that a 3D printed float can produce such results.

If you've ever printed something that needed to be watertight - such as a vase or a float - you know that this requires perseverance and special settings in your slicer and on your printer.
But I assure you, there is no there's nothing more rewarding than catching a fish with a float you've printed yourself.

My models are designed for the’3D FDM printing. They are designed to meet the specific needs of anglers, and each one is designed, printed and tested several times under real-life conditions until you achieve optimum results.

Technical Tips for 3D Printing

To be watertight and solid, the walls must not be less than ~1.2 mm thick, with a minimum of 3 layers.

Filling : 0%
PETG is both resistant and flexible; clear or white PETG is perfect for this type of float.
The keel is rigid yet slightly flexible thanks to PETG.

Nozzle : 0.4 mm max
Layer height : ~0.12 mm
The float must be printed flat with supports and can/should (depending on your slicer and printer) be spaced ~1 mm apart in Z to prevent the base of the sphere from directly touching the platen and flattening out.

If you're using a white filament like in my photos, simply apply a fluorescent paint or varnish to the antenna, then varnish the whole thing with a matt acrylic varnish, for example. The float can also be painted or varnished to obtain a fluorescent or matt color. The varnish turns your print into a standard float and helps seal any micro-holes.

This is the method I use, but you'll get excellent results with your usual settings for your favorite slicer and post_print finishes.

The floats you see in the videos and/or photos have been printed from the STL files you are about to download. They were deliberately tested on an original Ender 3 Pro, fitted with a BLTouch and PEI tray, to demonstrate that :
1/ my models are really FDM printable,
2/ they work perfectly on the majority of 3D printers on the market, without requiring the latest technology.

If printing is excellent on an Ender 3, it will also be excellent on your machine.
