A number of months ago, we were given access to some amazing plans provided by countspatula for a Ghost Trap that was entirely 3D printed. As many others here, I had to have one. Not having a 3D printer, though, made it a little difficult for me. Luckily 3DHubs came through and in roughly a week, I had my first trap prints. Now, as amazing as the standard trap is, when countspatula offered "deluxe" upgrades to the kit with real-world parts, I NEEDED them. So i bought them and built the trap. I was VERY happy with it, but it took a lot of work with the paint prep and finishing. The prints that I originally had were printed at 400 microns, which come to find out inst very high. There was a lot of Bondo filler and sanding but the final product was pretty good. Since I wasnt 100% happy with the final product, I sold it and am starting over.
This time, I got the prints at 200 microns and the difference is mind blowing! The knobs are way more precise, the screw holes are properly oriented and the seams are much finer. There is still going to be Bondo filler everywhere and a good bit of sanding, but they already look so much better. I re-bought all the deluxe parts that countspatula offers as well as a few others. I haven't done a build log since I finished my Hero pack last year so I figure I would treat you all with this.
TL;DR - Enjoy my 3D printed trap build!

I have not failed... I have succeeded in finding what doesn't work.
