Mouse Trap Piggy Bank (Prank)

cults3d

This is a little Mouse Trap Piggy Bank prank, where an unsuspecting bypasser see's a coin they would like to place into an inconspicuous piggy pank, when BOOM it all blows apart! Some Assembly Instructions and Suggestions: -> Instructions: 1.) Super glue (or glue) a mouse trap to the Base Plate. Place it as centered as you can. 2.) After the Mouse trap is bonded to the Base Plate, set the trap and carefully place the base plate onto the desired prank surface.  3.) Fit the Front and Back Wall pieces together with the Right and Left Wall pieces. 4.) Gently place the four walls down onto the base plate with the live mouse trap 5.) Carefully place the two roof pieces, so the slotted piece is above the trigger plate of the mouse trap (they are fiducialed so they do not slide off the roof) 6.) Place a coin near the piggy bank to catch a passerby's eye 7.) Sit back and watch the excitement! Suggestions: -I recommend bending the trigger of the mouse trap as straight as you can, so it makes handling the live trap a little easier. Nonetheless, BE CAREFUL. Handle it like it's a live mouse trap! -When the pieces are done printing, Id file the interfacing pieces (inner and outer corners to make the fit between them, better. I used an exacto knife and carefully filed some of the built up material from the printer head changing directions, so the pieces have a nice interference fit, but will come apart if excited. Sandpaper would work just as well. -I superglued the trap to the base plate to make it easier to handle after it was set. It's no fun handling the trap itself and having it snap in your hand. -This will work best on hard surfaces, but if the pieces are broken in enough (referring to their fitment together), this will work fine on both hard and soft surfaces. Update 6-9-2022: All of the parts labeled as 'rev2' have 2.5 degrees of draft added to the tabs. This should help with making it easier to fit the pieces together while setting up the house.
