Tilt-N-Trap 3D printer mousetrap06: 00 25/03/2010, Gareth Branwyn, 3D printing, MAKE: Blog



Mark Fuller sent us this video demos the 3D printed human mousetrap. Love this simple design gravity power. Mark says that made the trap with the help of the Rapid Prototyping class at the Pennsylvania College of Technology (www.pct.edu). The device was printed on the uPrint dimension, a little under six hours.
