Wasp Trap - improved performance & fast printing

thingiverse

I decided to test some wasp traps here in Germany because those annoying wasps get really out of hand. I tested a few but ultimately wasn't very lucky with them, so I decided to create my own based on the best practices I learned. This is a remixed version of https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1000336. I made some improvements: - It prints quickly - The wasp bag is big - I modified the channels for the wasps to enter, making it more likely for them to get trapped The trap is easy to use and clean. I tested my trap with glass filament but unfortunately, it wasn't very sealed because of it, and I encountered a leak. Please report if you use PLA or ABS instead, and the material wall thickness is sufficient to be sealed. To set up the trap, put beer and sugar into it through the opening on top. Once the wasps are dead, clean it by flooding it with water. I included some pictures of the original design (red print in the photo) and my improved version (glass filament color). While I know that V3 performs much better than V1, all traps were placed at the same location for 24 hours, with the same amount of beer and sugar, and checked after the wasps died. Have fun!
