Aesthetic Wasp/Hornet trap - reusable
Print Profile(1)
Description
Wasps and Hornets are an absolute pest, and can quickly ruin time during the summer in the garden. Unfortunately wasp traps are pretty ugly, require a lot of material and print time. So here's my take on the traditional wasp/hornet trap, using just over 200g of filament and printable without supports in around 7 hours.
This trap is fully reusable, can be disassembled for washing, and to top up on the wasp bait.
To use simply unscrew the base section, place your bait of choice (something sweet such as coke or jam), along with the poison (dishwasher soap would work well), reassemble and place in a convenient location in your garden, and let the trap do its work.
Materials: given this item will be outside it must be made out of a UV resistant material such as PETG. I used ELEGOO rapid PETG in beige and this coped with the overhangs with no need for support except for the hanging loop.
Any boosts, ratings and comments would be greatly appreciated.

Looking for a fruit fly trap too?
The making of my wasp trap inspired me to make these fruit fly traps as well!
