Bug Catcher 101010

Designed to catch flying insects, notably firefly's! Let’s get our kids outside and have some fun! Please only use for catch and release. ;-)

The domes print upside down with no supports. The scissors print in place, also with no supports.

Note, there is only .25mm of clearance in the arms as I wanted the pivot to be tight. It printed great on my MK3. Typically I design for .35mm so let me what your results are I will adjust accordingly to popular demand.

Lubricant

If you want to reduce friction and eliminate that annoying creak of PLA sliding on PLA, this PTFE lube works wonders. Spray it on the pivot points and it will make opening the scissors twice as easy.
