Bottle Mouse Trap

thingiverse

UPDATE: It didn't take long to get the first mouse. About two hours after setting it up, I caught my first mouse. Check out the photos. --- Third mouse captured. This time I got some video footage. https://youtu.be/2UigMLfSukI --- Great job by the original designer and remixers whose work I borrowed from. Remixed to accommodate 10mm x 2mm coin-shaped magnets (Hobbyking SKU "Magnet-R"). No glue is needed to hold the magnets in place, so far - just pressed them in. For the door weight, I used a US quarter with a US penny behind it for a tight fit. That's a 3mm x 30mm screw with a couple of washers and nuts, along with a 20 oz soda bottle. I also taped a US quarter to the bottom of the bottle to make it more sensitive to tripping. For this particular bottle, that seems necessary. It seemed like the trap needed some air holes, so I drilled a few in the trap door. Printed at .2mm with 35-50% infill. Using pumpkin seeds as bait. I read that mice prefer carbs. Let's see if I catch one tonight...
