This past week in Open innovation, Tanner and I utilized the idea to further our project by making a mold of the topwater popper we had previously made using the 3D printer. So we started by researching different biodegradable molds that may work to fit the needs of the lure. We decided to start out by prototyping with a base papermacchet mold because it fit the base needs and we had plenty of materials to make the mold. We proceeded to in turn make the mold by adding hot water to a large assumption of shredded paper and then let it sit till we had a fully produced mold. We then put the material mold into the frame itself and allowed it to dry in the sun so it would be ready to be finished. Once it was done drying we realized that the first prototype didn't formulate how we wished so in turn we needed to produce a better mold. This week we plan to research a better mold and begin work on our next prototype.
