Rolling Log MouseTrap

I saw those rolling log mousetraps on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=Rolling+Log+MouseTrap. You'll need two 608 bearings, a bucket, and a piece of 3/4" CPVC that fits your needs. The CPVC pipe has an outer diameter of around 22.3mm, while the 608 bearings have an outer diameter of 22mm. This means the sleeve will fit snugly on both parts. Cut the pipe to the length you need based on your bucket's size since they vary slightly. The sleeves are made from TPU plastic. You can use any material for the other parts, but I recommend using PETG for its durability. For my first run, I used MakerGeeks PLA, and that's what you'll see in the pictures. Here's how it works: place peanut butter on the middle of the pipe, fill the bucket with 2-2.5 gallons of water, and add ramps or another way to get the mice to the ends of the pipe. When they walk out onto the pipe for the bait, it spins and drops them into the water where they drown. Edit: I've replaced the LogTrapBucketClip STLs with three different sizes to fit your bucket better. There are now seven 6mm, eight 2mm, and nine 6mm gap sizes in the file names.
