Minnow Trap

This is a small Minnow Trap I designed to be printed taking advantage of the fast Honeycomb infill pattern in Simplify3D.

Using the process setting below it takes the solid object files and prints them out without any top or bottom layers and this produces the cage like pattern in the parts. I use two different processes, the first Process prints the cage pattern until a certain height, then the second Process prints the solid parts of the objects.

Using this method you could create many useful items like animal cages, screen guards, sifting screens, etc by just adjusting the infill percentage to achieve the size holes you would like.

The cage for this Minnow Trap is about 7" x 9" when flat so you need a good size print bed to print it and you have to use the setting below (specifically the 12% infill) for the end caps to snap fit together with the main cage when complete.
