Macchinina Mousetrap

Ever wanted to make your own toys for your kids?  Find unique toys and other personal designs in our marketplace. 

This is a 3D printed mouse trap racer, which demonstrates the physics principle of the conversion of potential energy to kinetic energy by using the spring of a mouse trap to spin the axle of the wheels.

By popular request I recorded a quick video of the racer in action. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dZ3QAxe7-LE

Instructions

In order to form the wheels you have to either super glue them together or use acetone to melt them together.

Good print and enjoy!
