Biogents BG-Mosquitaire & BG-GAT Suction Funnel Grid

thingiverse

The Biogents traps work very well only for mosquitoes.However, it can occasionally happen that other insects or animals gets lost in the trap and may not be able to get out. To avoid so-called "bycatch," I have created a kind of "grid" that works for the Suction Funnel Universal and the BG-GAT.The part is Print-In-Place, so supports are not needed.For the Suction Funnel Universal, it simply hooks into the notch for the rubber band stopper and is rotated (see pictures).In the case of the BG-GAT, there are slots in the hooks that fit onto the struts of the BG-GAT funnel. Or you can press the grid past the struts so that it rests on the edge inside (see pictures)This model might work for other funnels, but I haven't tried. Let me know.Print it in black, so that the mosquitoes are still interested in the trap.Also, use a filament for outdoors (UV-resistant) or print it more often :-)It's kind of a work-in-progress, but if you have any ideas or questions, let me know!It tested this grid on my own mosquitaire and it works fine. But I can't check how much it restricts the airflow - so please be aware.
