Malaise Trap Head (UC Berkeley)
thingiverse
3D Printed Malaise Trap Head printed in PLA has been tested under field conditions for entomologist use in sampling insects and other field and laboratory applications. It fits into a 4" PVC coupler socket, positioned above a screen to push insects up into the trap. The trap contains a reservoir for chemical agents and can be plugged with a rubber stopper. Users are encouraged to experiment and modify the design. Designed as a collaboration between Kipling Will (Director of the Essig Museum of Entomology, University of California, Berkekey, CA) and Ian Steplowski (3D Artist / 3D Printing hobbyist). More information can be found in a full research paper, to become available via UC Berkeley in 2016. Enjoy!
