Animal-protecting Terro ant trap box

thingiverse

My cat is far too curious about the Terro ant traps that I had to install. So I have designed a box that fully captures the trap in a way that is safe for him to be around. It is thick enough that he can't bite into it, it has an optional screw hole for when he gets wise about the convenient sliding cover, it holds the trap firmly in place even if it gets batted around, and has a long enough "lobby" that he can't reach the poison with his tongue. The .STEP files are included so you can make any adaptations you want for your own pet. I've rebuilt the object anew from A_Str8's excellent design and modified it to suit its purpose. The STL files are already positioned for printing and need no support. The screw is an M2 screw of any length between 6 and 16 mm, depending on what you have around. Longer is better. It is optional.
