How To Assemble the 3D-Printed Ghost Trap

Watch how the 3D-printed ghost trap project comes together in this step-by-step build tutorial! Sean puts together his ghost trap kit, explaining the design of each piece along the way. You can download the files for the print here, and buy hardware kits here. Thanks to Dremel for providing the 3D printer and tools for us to build this project!

  1. Amazing! The cunning detail of the tabs-in-slots assembly is better than anything IKEA does. (High praise)

  2. You’d be paying more in terms of time and electricity and materials than you would getting a big assortment box of self drilling screws the next time your at the hardware store.

    Besides being single extruder where does the flash forge and the dremel differ?

  3. Absolutely but even then you would have to deal with gluing the whole thing together and then painting a bunch of tiny screw heads. Which is one of the big reasons I designed it with real hardware and this way you can open it back up for mods, maintenance, etc.

  4. Great project and tutorial series Tested! I noticed some super shiny shiny surface as you put it all together, the door tops being and example. How did you get those so shiny? Simple sanding job or was something else done in addition or instead. Asking because I’m learning to post process my models but never gotten anything that shiny out of the printer or after hand sanding.

    I was wondering the exact same thing. My guess is those surfaces are the ones that were on the print bed and thus are smooth since the filaments ran together and formed one continuous surface.

  6. berjb is correct, I typically print on glass or kapton tape and it will get you that nice smooth surface.

  7. Hey guys, thanks so much for putting up the resources to build our own. I’m certainly going to try.

    I’m trying to cut down on 3D printing costs, Is there a list of parts that I DONT need to print if I’m planning on making a standard Trap?

    Thanks again guys
