UPDATES 2/18/18 Electro-Mechanics Guide Now Available in Shop! I'm thrilled to announce that my comprehensive Electro-Mechanics Guide is now available in my shop! This extensive, fully-illustrated 95-page guide is designed for the layman to build and install electronics and mechanics. Get instant access here: https://charlesworthdynamics.etsy.com Want a Sneak Peek? Check out the Sneak Peek PDF for a taste of what the guide has in store for you, along with a detailed list of parts needed: http://bit.ly/Electro_Sneak-Peek Free Arduino Code & SFX Files Get free access to my Arduino code and SFX files on my site: http://bit.ly/3D_Kit_Instructions Print Guide Updates The Print Guide has been updated to version 10, now indicating which parts need printed for electronics installation. I've also uploaded new versions of the top frame (regular & dual outlet) with reinforced door supports. UPDATES 1/26/18 New Versions Uploaded I've uploaded fresh versions of GB1 RIGHT side panel parts, incorporating the correct off-center placement of the resistor toward the back of the vector plate, as seen in photos of the movie prop. New versions of RT panel, RT LG aluminum plate, and GB1 vector plate are now live and have replaced old versions. UPDATES 1/23/17 Cut-Up Versions for Smaller Print Beds I've uploaded cut-up versions of side panels and bottom frame specifically designed for smaller print beds. Simply print FRONT & REAR and glue them together. Additional Files Added GB1 versions of vector plate, resistor, matching aluminum plate, and side panel have been added to the mix, as they require different hole arrangements. Organizational Updates Some files have been renamed for easier organization - the model remains unchanged. Print Guide Updated to v9 The Print Guide has been updated to version 9, reflecting new parts, corrections, and more details. Assembly Guides & Hardware Get Your Hardware Here!

With over 58 parts designed to be fully 3D printed (except for the screws that hold it all together), this trap can accommodate electronics for lights, sound, door mechanics, and smoke. The first two gallery pictures showcase a Deluxe trap with as much real hardware as possible. Hybrid Design This Ghost Trap is a unique blend of GB1 & GB2 traps - featuring overall size, screw placement, and knobs from GB2, along with the protruding cartridge from GB1. I modeled the trap using excellent plans from Sean Bishop and Stefan Otto at www.gbfans.com, then made further modifications based on my research and extensive photo reference. Upgrade Your Trap While fully printable, this trap was designed to be upgradeable with real parts whenever possible. For instance, 1/16" aluminum plates can be swapped out for the 3D printed ones as a template. Learn More at Tested.com For a deeper dive into how the Trap was designed and built, check out my feature on Tested.com: Print Settings Notes: * You'll need a print bed that can accommodate up to 8.8" W x 4" D. * For strength, use higher infill for parts like the side panels and bottom frame. * For optimal results, experiment with slower speeds for parts like the foster connectors. * A hardware list and print guidelines are included in the download. SPECIAL ULTIMAKER NOTE: The side panels and bottom frame JUST fit on the UM2 print bed. To print them, open Expert Settings > Skirt > Line Count and set it to 0. Place the part going left to right and nudge it as far left as possible. MakerBot Desktop & Simplify3D Users You can print the scribe lines (paint guides) on the top doors with these software packages - not sure what's up with Cura, though!
