Refillable Bait Station for Mice

thingiverse

Pesky mice swiped my refillable bait station that came pre-loaded with bait. After scouring stores for just the refillable bait stations, I decided to build my own instead. There are 2 versions now. 1 features holes in the lid so it can be screwed together easily. After making one of those and setting it out, I thought about the mice stealing it again. While the station will biodegrade eventually, the screws would end up who knows where. That and the hassle of messing with 4 screws on each station to check and refill them was a major pain. So I decided to make a new version without using screws. 2nd version uses a band printed in TPU to hold the lid on, and I like it a lot better now. Now I put something on top of each station to help keep the mice from carrying them off. Only time will tell if this works out. Box was made using the customizer from https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2507177, but I had issues with the corner holes (I fixed the worst one in tinkercad). That's where I made the rest of the boxes alterations instead. The bands were made in Inventor software.
