Live Catch Mouse Trap (Twist of / European Version)

cults3d

This is an innovative live-catch jar mouse trap modeled after a 1927 patent and designed by @entomophile. I thoroughly revamped the design using Fusion 360, because wide-mouth mason jars are not readily available in Europe/Germany. I've added a holder for the glass and a small ramp to enhance functionality. To assemble the trap, you'll need a twist-off jar with an 81.6mm opening, two to three paper clips, and a wire with a 2mm diameter for the hinge. I've included various options for the glass holder; if your glass is different, simply load the attached Fusion 360 file, adjust the parameter Glas_Diameter, and create your own STL files. The same applies to the paper clips – I've provided gates for 0.8mm and 1mm thick wire diameters. You can customize your wire dimensions by modifying the Trap_WireDiameter parameter. If you're not a Fusion 360 user, utilize the attached STP-file as a base for modifications.
