Insect Trap

The 3D model is an insect trap designed for 3d printing using a UV- and water-resistant material such as PETG, making it suitable for long-term outdoor use.The trap consists of two main parts:The cylindrical container, with smooth walls and light vertical ridges for better grip, is meant to hold the attractant liquid (for example, beer, water with honey, or other insect-specific mixtures).The screw-on conical lid, featuring a textured knurled surface for easy handling and two side loops with holes designed for hanging the trap from tree branches or near areas that need protection.The central hole in the cone has a diameter of 7 mm, ideal for capturing medium-sized insects such as flies or wasps. However, the model can be scaled in the slicer to adjust the hole size for larger insects (e.g., hornets) or smaller ones (e.g., gnats).How It WorksInsects are attracted by the scent of the liquid inside, enter through the hole in the lid, and then cannot find their way out, eventually drowning
