I tried the tuna-can slug beer trap, and liked it! But watching at night, I noticed most slugs went in, grabbed a six-pack and left. I had the best luck with a can that had an overhang and thought I could print something.
I found a couple great and creative traps here, but they were big (lots of liquid) and took a lot of filament to print. If I'm going to spend $2.50 on a trap I'll let someone else make it for me. :-) These run me about 30 cents if printed in vase mode.
There's a little window because I always overfill and this prevents it. There's a little trough to collect spilled bait and hopefully attract more snails. The steep ridge at the tip is to encourage the slugs to fall.
Let me know your results! If people like it enough I'll make an umbrella and/or a scoop.

Notes:
I printed this with a 0.6mm nozzle and 0.8 mm line widths, 0.3mm layer heights, in vase mode. It comes out fine and doesn't leak. You could probably print this with a 0.4 nozzle just fine. I haven't tried non-vase mode with a small nozzle but I would expect it to work.
I set the first layer to concentric and the top layer to lines so the patterns wouldn't line up in case that helps seal any gaps. It would probably work without it.Post-Printing
You can use the traditional beer, or simply add a bit of sugar and yeast to plain water. Some people add flour. Fill to the level of the site hole and leave out over night.
