Bottle mouse trap

Live Capture Bottle Mouse trap.


"It's a trap!" -Admiral Ackbar

This is a simple live capture mouse trap, designed to be printed with a few parts and screwed into a wide-mouth plastic drink bottle (approximately 36mm diameter with a 3mm screw pitch).

The three pieces of the trap are designed to print without support and include:
1) Bottle connector
2) "T" shaped balance bar
3) Mouse trap lid.

The bottle connector should screw on to any wide mouth drink bottle of the right dimensions, (38 mm diameter, 250 to 600ml volume.). New edit: version 2 of the bottle adapter is more generic and should fit most bottles.

Insert the "T" bar into the slot at the base of the bottle connector, with the top of the "T" towards the bottle end. The slot is cut so the balance bar can only fit in one way. It may need slight sanding to fit properly depending on the tolerance of your printer.

The lid is designed to sit precariously on the edge of the bottle connector,
