Remix of the self resetting mouse trap.
I used the original for inspiration, but otherwise mostly rebuilt the parts from scratch.
Still need to use a straight piece of wire or paperclip as the hinge. Stay tuned, I think I can rework it so it won't need the paper clip, either. (I don't seem to have one, which makes the final test of the assembled unit a little tricky!) Still need a magnet in the back of the plank - no way around this. Need some screws/bolts for counterweight.
PLANK
-----
I printed the plank in black PLA and left the trap in the sun. It softened and sagged. Use a different color or material, don't place in the sun, or give it a little blue pill.
The only place that supports printed in the plank was in the bait cup. That could be a good thing as it might help hold the peanut butter in place. I doubt that the prey would be able to secure a hold to it and avoid falling into the bucket.
Removed the discs at the four corners of the plank.
Shortened the plank
