Have us print this for you
PLA from £6 inc. UK delivery on letter-sized prints. We slice, print on a calibrated Creality K2 / Bambu A1, QC and post.
This week I decided to build a full functioning bear trap based on images found on Google.
I worked out in theory how the mechanism should work for the trap, and then spent hours CAD up the parts to fit together nicely with the right tolerance, so the springs and latches will work smoothly.
Result? The teeth bite FAST!
The only downside of printing with ABS is that the 2 side arms break after me playing with it too many times. No worries though. I've designed it the way so they can be easily replaced with new springy arms. Next lot I'll print them with rubber-like ABS. That should last me a while!

*UPDATE - new STL files have been uploaded with minor adjustments on tolerance and build plate arrangement.
