Summary
This a remix of the Solar mosquito Trap by MosquitoLAMI.
In fact it is a remix of the files you can find on the (French) LAMI website, which are more up-to-date that the files published on Thingiverse.

The 3D printed parts of the main mechanism are more or less clones of the original parts except that they can be printed without supports (I hate supports).
The 3D printed parts of the structure are very different from the originals as I wanted the trap to be a tripod.
I believe it is more stable, has a smaller footprint and requires less wood.
I designed, printed and produced the non-solar version.
It cost me around 60€ in parts (wood, fan, screws, CO2 bag, mosquito mesh, etc.)
The wood panels where cut with a laser machine at a fab-lab.
The trap can be converted to dual energy (AC and solar) by just adding the solar components : panel, control device and battery (the total estimated price is 100€).
Because of the small footprint of the trap, the solar controller will have to be on the top cover in a waterproof box, along with the solar panel.
I prefer it to be like that in order to supervise the solar system without having to open the trap.
The battery will fit inside the trap.
Print Settings
Rafts:
No
Supports:
No
Notes:
All parts should be printed without support with average density (50% - 70%)
Some parts already have a home made brim (you can add an additional brim in the slicer if you have adherence issues with your printer). The reason is that with my printer I need to avoid having screw holes in the first layer as they tend not to stay in place during the printing of the second layer. With my method of adding a 0.2mm layer under the whole part, the first layer prints fine and all you need to do in post production is punching the thin layer to reveal the screw hole.
The part
AMT_ConnHautAvnt.stl
must be printed twice, once normally and once flipped.
The part
AMT_Connecteur.stl
must be printed six times
The optional part
AMT_Molettes.stl
can be used to transform a 5mm hex screw (or a 5mm bolt) into a knob
Post-Printing
Supplies
Structure
- The wooden bars have a square section of 22.5 mm x 22.5 mm
- Refer to the sketch for the length and the position of the screw holes
- the side panels are cut in 5mm plywood
- The flat panels and the roof are made of two layers of 5mm plywood glued together.
All the wood parts are varnished in order to be left outside without suffering a short rain.
Screws
All screws are Ø 5mm :
- 6 stove head screws 5x40 (with 5mm bolts) for attaching the wooden bars to the connectors
- 12 hex head screws 5x20 (with 5mm bolts) for attaching the side panels to the connectors
- 12 countersunk head screws 5x25 (with 5mm bolts) for attaching the flat panels and the roof to the connectors
Some bolts are concealed inside the connectors
