Brakster Exhibit Design

Recently I was thinking of designing a mouse trap that I can use and reuse whenever I spot a rodent mouse lurking in our kitchen, messing with our appliances, eating my socks grrr. so I made some drawing design of my personal home made mouse trap and planed how will it be able to work and for a better overview of my design I made a 3D model of the mouse trap in 3D Studio Max to process and check the size the materials to use for the mouse trap whether if its feasible and doable.

At first I was thinking of using fly wood for the design but the problem with wood is its harder to clean when it get stained and you cant see whether your trap caught a mouse and its too bulky and mouse can scratch or eat your wood. so I ended up using Acrylic glass strips that I bought in a junk shop and use some quick tight glue to join the parts. and use an old radio antenna for the locks.

The trap is perfect and what I like about it is the removable trap cage for mouse disposal, and maybe I’ll made another spare of this removable trap cage as a replacement when the other caught a mouse and here is the final product, my Ultimate Mouse Trap Killer.

The lock system I design that will prevent the mouse from escaping when I remove this removable trap cage in the trap door unit

The Trap door system. I put some stick that will make the door a little elevated so that the mouse will be able to smell the food inside and will drop when the mouse pass trough. I’m also planning of putting some sound or light triger alam to inform me when the trap caught a mouse.

Here is the 2 separated parts of the Ultimate Mouse Trap Killer

Here is a sample video of my ultimate mouse trap Killer and the traps first victim. I used peanut butter and some left over shrimp tail as a bait in this video and you will witness how I unlikely disposed the mouse. viewers discretion is advice because its inhumanely done… but this is actually my plan why I made the removable trap cage. just watch the video and parental discretion is advice
