Mushroom Slug Trap

This is a remix of the Mushroom slug trap / Piège à limaces Champignon by xfifi at https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2205074. The three top supports were removed from their original position, allowing them to fall straight down into the bottom where they could no longer interfere with the slugs' ability to climb out. The three pillars were then cut away and beveled, making it effortless to print without any additional supports. There was more than enough room in the design for modifications, so I decided to reduce the size of the reservoir as well, creating an even steeper reverse slope that made it almost impossible for slugs to climb back out. I printed this design at a resolution of 0.175 mm and with 10% infill on both top and bottom layers. If you're using Cura, make sure to enable both Concentric Top/Bottom layer and Concentric Bottom Pattern Initial Layer under Shell settings to ensure that the trap remains watertight and functional. This is especially crucial when printing pots. Four walls were built into this design, along with five layers on top and bottom. The print speed was set at 40 mm/s. Fortunately, no supports were needed for the bottom of the trap, but I did require 10% Line Touching Buildplate supports for the top sections (the slots).
