Description
Here's my totally untested design for entry in Cathal Garvey's Mousetrap challenge.
(Challenge: blog.makerbot.com/2010/03/01/cathal-garveys-mousetrap-design-challenge/ )
(Cathal: thingiverse.com/cathalgarvey )
Thankfully I don't have the vermin problem Cathal does. The downside is that I have neither tame nor wild mice to test this design on.
The idea is to cut out most of the lid from a peanut butter jar and insert this printed lid. Hopefully it will allow the mouse inside to feast on the delicious delicious peanut butter but not let them out. (Who would want to leave a room lined with peanut butter anyhow?)
For design notes about this thing, check out my blog at makerblock.com.
FYI, I think I'm the first one to include a jar of peanut butter as a "part"!

Really economical on the plastic AND on the printing time. In addition, it's really easily to make it for other jars! Like it!
Oh, I like how it fits into the lid, I was wondering how you'd get it to snugly fit *instead* of a lid! Really small print, plastic economy ftw!
