The Venus Snack Trap! This plant is perfect for displaying in your kitchen so you always have bag clips available.
I designed this to resemble the Venus Flytrap plant as closely as possible while still being functional.
To print this, make sure your printer is calibrated well. The gaps are 0.2mm so you'll have to be sure your printer can handle those tolerances.
I printed the traps on their side using tree supports which remove fairly easily
Assembly:
- Remove supports from traps
- Break the locking tab and mouth free (I used a flathead screwdriver)
- Glue inner mouth pieces into flytrap using glue of choice. Make sure all supports are cleaned off the traps, especially inside the holes.
- Stick Stems into base, bend to get desires look (use heat gun to bend easier)
- Stick traps onto stems. No need to push them all the way on.
- Enjoy! To use your traps, snap them onto a bag, and then lock them shut using the locking tab. If you have a hard time getting yours to lock, use it a few times to wear it in.
