IntroFruit flies appear out of nowhere – especially when fruit is on the counter. This 3D-printed trap turns any small glass into a simple, effective and reusable fruit fly trap.Just place the lid on a glass with some fruit juice, a little vinegar and - this is important - one tiny drop of dish washing liqid. The flies are attracted by the smell, enter through the openings, and can’t easily escape.Minimal effort. Maximum effectiveness.How to UseUse dark colored filament to print the lid. Fruit flies instinctively move toward light sources.If the trap lid is printed in dark filament, the inside of the glass stays relatively darker while the surrounding environment appears brighter.Fill a glass with about 1–2 cm of fruit juice and some vinegar.Add one drop of dish soap (breaks surface tension).Place the printed lid on the glass.Put the trap near fruit bowls, compost bins, or the sink.The smell attracts fruit flies, they enter through the slots and remain trapped.Why you'll love it?Fi
