[@tidiestflyer7570]

I love how the mice have no chance of knowing whats going to get them next. One day it might be just a simple mouse trap, the next it might be an anvil tied to a shoe string

[@markfryer9880]

An Anvil isn't that just a tad too much overkill and cartoonish?

[@flapadodawhitewoods5670]

Anvils never killed jerry in the cartoon

[@muskokamike127]

or a piano! lol

[@muskokamike127]

Mark: that's the point! haha

[@Rubii5]

Mark Fryer that’s the joke

[@loganblandamer8470]

You should set a huge array of traps in your barn to see how many you catch in one night

[@ahrensg7529]

Logan Blandamer good idea

[@janred94]

Thats something I am dreaming about xD With a kind of top down view on like 30 mouse traps.

[@HenWithATie]

Which will kill over 1/8 the entire mouse population decreasing Shawn's money

[@bryansantana1400]

yes 🙌

[@darrylramsey6232]

Logan Blandamer thats a great idea

[@ShawnWoodsMousetrapMonday]

Zach invented this trap. Here is his youtube channel: kzbin.info

[@theextremevlogchannel]

Hi dude I can make a trap for you.

[@lukemartin7029]

Awesome new segment

[@johnsweda2999]

Shawn Woods the link you left doesn't work!!

[@groefa]

It works now.

[@hahahasushhsjs1764]

Ok 👌

[@kingmuimui1]

Designer of the trap here. Didn't think I'd have to do this with my channel link in the description, but some in the comments are claiming the trap as theirs. As for sales, I believe the impracticality of the design won't warrant much use in any sales worth talking about, and the production time with my current machine is about two days per trap. If any are really interested in purchase and are okay with these terms, however, please drop me a line. Price of plastic is also a bit high with how much goes into it, but it's very overbuilt from a 3D printed standpoint. If enough interest is gathered in sales though, I will try to build it down a bit to take less plastic. Raw cost of materials is around $17USD, which is a lot for a novelty plastic trap.

[@A_Bit_of_Thought]

Kingmui: A different trigger idea would be is to do away with the string and make a piller inside the trap with a stick pretzel. The mouse chews on the pretzel, the pretzel breaks, and WHAM!

[@burtonkorten9322]

Good job

[@eonbree8593]

I like it

[@aaaaaaaaaassssssssdf]

I was actually thinking about designing a similar one that was made to be quick to print and disposable, similar to the clear plastic ones that use a rubber band and pretzel but instead use string like you did, and find a way to contain the mouse not just pinch the neck.

[@kingmuimui1]

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaadsdf The only issue I had with that is that there's already a design like that on thingiverse of all places. That was one of my original thoughts until I found it had been done.

[@PwnzerProductions]

I imagine that, to a mouse, your house is like Home Alone mixed with Saw

[@housesteiner7783]

That is hilarious, and so accurate!

[@thedude5901]

It's a neat novelty trap

[@Ndog888]

Use a mouse trap from the game mouse trap

[@Te0L0ser]

Nerbert that's what this is

[@Ryan-re1rs]

Nerbert. Lol. Set it up just like the game. That would be epic to see and have fun with. The mouse would be so amazed watching the marble clunk back and forth, then seeing a dude leap off the diving bored into a cup, he would be so confused by it all he wouldn't even notice the cage coming down over him...

[@ggk912daniel]

"Get a mouse trap" *proceeds to buy a game called Mouse Trap*

[@gpcaraudio]

Even though it looks time consuming to set up its still a good design. I'm sure there are other integrations that could be added to make setup much quicker

[@jinhongchen728]

Hi

[@ecks7165]

I like how you went through setting it up just to cut the string and have to do it again 😂

[@donoliver3874]

Cant you just put a thin pretzel stick inside vertically to keep it up?

[@soomysoom1419]

Don Oliver if there was a groove on the bottom and the top of it for the pretzel then I think that might work. I feel like it would slip out if you just put it in without them

[@Itsisawnotiseen]

I think the problem would be in how to set it. Perhaps drill a hole in the bottom to mount the pretzel.

[@john-paulsilke893]

I think this may be a super quick improvement. I’m very curious as to what he does on version 2.0, I suspect you may have figured it out at least partially.

[@kingmuimui1]

It does involve pretzels, yes. Not directly using them as a support though, I was afraid the split pieces would not escape and, knowing my luck, get caught in the channel that protects the spike points and keep the striker from falling down as it should. The future for the striker will likely not live past V2, because it's expensive and too complicated to be of much use other than novelty.

[@Uncrustable_Jamie]

Don Oliver no because it is too brittle and it wont hold it up because of the tension of the rubberbands

[@Nezmund]

I want to see a trap which launches the mouse into the air and explodes in a shower of sparks and mouse guts.

[@Doubel]

Recipe for demonetization

[@thatdewd]

lol

[@irmister]

[@john-paulsilke893]

Perhaps something that detonates a blank .22 under its belly. Humane but just a bit insane, also very messy and ultimately smelly.

[@420bars]

I been waiting for the same.

[@jmcu17]

I can see why this is a novelty mouse trap. For that much preparation, you could set up 10 mouse traps.

[@HidekiShinichi]

I am pretty much sure that with some omroovements you coul make it simpler to set.

[@davisjames8484]

+Hideki Shinichi did you have a stroke?

[@turbomonkeyexpress]

Keep it up man, I LOVE watching both the user-created traps as well as the ancient ones! Really neat to see all the inventive ways we've come up with over the years to solve a common problem.

[@angelesperez4014]

I love how complicated the setup is but He doesn't discriminate it and appreciates the things people send him.

[@janred94]

Print it in grey, it looks like a little fortress with those fins on top and the entry at the bottom :P

[@Hyperstridez]

I don't have a rodent problem yet I still watch your videos and binge watch them.

[@_xO_Ox_]

I also do, it's a new disease, the mouse-trap addiction, I guess psychiatrists will soon study the causes and treatment for their DSM-6 !

[@72sarge]

Omit the nut, spread peanut butter on the string. They'll chew it quickly.

[@kingmuimui1]

That was the original plan. After much testing by Shawn though, all the mice did was lick the string clean.

[@oohsam]

Even though it's more involved to set, its an awesome trap. What people are forgetting, is that it is not easy to actually come up with a new design of something that has already had many variations. 3d Printed traps are great. Nice work.

[@Nibbles2point0]

Wow Zach!!! This trap is such a completely different design, I love the new ideas combined with old ideas. Great job!!!

[@teardowndan5364]

Exact same principle as the snare trap that uses a chew string between the opening and bait, just using rubber bands to pull a striker down instead of a spring to pull the snare up.

[@jenniferwhitewolf3784]

Channel just keeps getting better! Viewer designed traps is a great idea!!

[@westernpigeon]

i secretly watch your channel because it would be weird if anyone knew i watched this kind of stuff

[@ichigo3223]

Replace the string with a pretzel? Not sure if it's strong enough to hold the upper part.

[@kingmuimui1]

That's what I was afraid of, so I went for the string. Really bad foresight on the size of the holes though, and the inside of the striker is chambered for impact resistance, so just making bigger holes was a major pain (but they are on V2). V2 does involve pretzel bits though, and no more doll needles. Even then, the design for this trap is still quite complex for much more than novelty use.

[@hungrybird17]

People complaining about the set up, even though this is a prototype. It was designed by a cool guy and tested by Shawn (who could be better?) and now time to make some improvements and try again

[@kingmuimui1]

And it may very well stop at V2 and then go for a complete overhaul on design to make something far simpler and cheaper. The biggest thing I focused on with this trap is resilience, so much so that it ended up way too complicated and overbuilt for what it is. I also massively misjudged the size of the holes for the string, and with the compartmentalization that is in the striker for impact resistance, making bigger holes was a massive pain. Bigger holes are on V2, however, so no more doll needles and hole drilled nuts needed.

[@hungrybird17]

kingmuimui1 I would gladly see that and I'm already excited to see the evolution of the project

[@carpenterfamily6198]

I really enjoy seeing the viewer submitted mouse traps !

[@jacobkeller29]

Im working on one as well with 3d printing. It's a little complicated though. But when I finish it I'll send you one. My son and I watch your videos together.

[@jaguarfacedman1365]

Your house must be like final destination for mice.

[@GivenFactNotFiction]

I believe thw trap could benefit from a larger size along with some off center of the thread towards the rear. The cost could be reduce by using pvc pipe.

[@FellVoice]

put some olive oil on the string, they will chew through trying to get the oil.

[@rjserra5535]

Amature invented traps are really entertaining. Congratulations on the creativity. Looking forward to Striker v2.0.

[@marjamada]

The design certainly deserves appreciation, even if the setup is still tedious. That part can be improved by taking clues from ancient deadfalls and traps where an overhead object - stone, basket - is dropped when the animal moves the 'figure 4' trigger.

[@craiger0069]

Holy cow! Good job fans who can print amazing stuff on a 3-D printer!

[@CristianoNogueiraBushcraft]

I am just loving these string triggered traps. Just one tip, if you haven't thought about it before: Smashing any working a bouillon cube on the string will make it preferable for the mice. Thanks!

[@MeridiusBell]

Very interesting, a little complicated to catch one mouse. Can’t wait to see updated version. Great channel👍

[@0003rc]

Looking forward to see that new design.

[@philliptoone]

I like seeing the designs submitted for review by your viewers. Keep them coming.

[@MasterBeiberEverything]

congrats on 1M subscribers!

[@mitchellclem5454]

Shawn really appreciate all of your time & dedication to mouse trap Monday.

[@snapdragon420]

I say few build a mouse trap big enough to fit all of congress in!

[@KingBarney]

I've been watching the entire ads on all your videos. Got your back ;)

[@alphax4785]

oddly enough it seems it could be either a kill trap (like it is here) or a live trap depending on whether the mouse stays in the doorway or chooses to enter the trap fully to chew on the bait.

[@ddonttripbro]

Nah to much set up

[@kurtvictor163]

Hoesay doing it all takes less then a minute unless your incapable.

[@adamh2077]

Also thx for repeating what he said in the video. We really needed to hear that again

[@davidriley7659]

clever design. Perhaps it's worth reducing the size by making it flatter, and moving the string to the door, like the 427 year old spring trap.

[@IntergalacticSpaceKitten]

I really like these new designed 3D printed mousetraps. I like how this one looks. Anyone who can come up with a mousetrap that's different than the other millions of designs out there is awesome. This one kinda looks like a sand castle pail you take to the beach, lol.

[@CommonCentrist82]

Great idea and execution. It would be cool if he comes up with a better trigger system.

[@RattPoison80]

You really got me with the "little pull" instead of "little flip"!

[@bobrees4363]

Innovative design. I can see making a trap of this design using a couple of tin cans and sticks, for those of us that do not have a 3D printer.

[@enderkittygaming2348]

A guide in the bottom to slide to set string through and past a slightly larger hole where a knot could pass through should enable the trap to not only go off more easily when the string is pulled but also allow the string to be used multiple times and have quicker resets.

[@ITpanda]

A pre-measured strung with a knot or plastic bead (cavity needed for bead) on one end and a loop on the other would allow you to feed the loop through the bottom through the top and a stick or bead could retain other side with loop. Holes could be made bigger to allow this easy setup procedure.

[@jcsxyz2005]

Shawn love your videos. You have now probably the most mouse trap around. I specially love the one you recreate from old patent. Are you going to build a small museum?

[@BobofWOGGLE]

So viewer-made traps are gonna start being a thing now? Cool stuff, I always like seeing how different people go about solving the same problems.

[@steppygee2452]

Dude i support you bro, you are probably my favorite channel love ya keep doing what you’re doing

[@ripwpthet-rex3378]

Wow amazing design! Really creative! Can't wait to see v 2!

[@ununpentium2255]

It's such an awesome thing that you are interacting with viewers this way.

[@honestlynope6599]

I appreciate your videos. One of the few I'll watch the whole commercial for😉

[@mattfarahsmillionmilelexus]

Depending on the position of the mouse, it can also be a live catch trap.

[@davidschwartz2398]

New trap demonstrations is a great idea for your channel!

[@BigTomG]

What of a pretzel stick was used as the trigger. I believe I saw it in another video. Just need to add a small indent in the base and striker to hold ot

[@Dolly-dj2yb]

this series is the reason why i love Mondays! 🐀

[@TheGuruStud]

Fishing string would be a lot easier to thread and you could make a much larger hole at the top/bottom and use a coin or anything tied to the string to hold it in place (just leave an approrpriately sized indent in the bottom, so it sits flat). Reload time could be cut way down.

[@JanGroh]

I was thinking maybe a small flat washer tied to the string, or maybe even a button? Still a lot of things to tie, so maybe not... the whole device reminded me of sewing on a button. Just a really large one.

[@jamesbtex58]

You have to replace the string each time.I agree with others the pre-made victor traps are easier, faster to set and there is one size for mice and one for rats.

[@Frediloc8]

Cool stuff! I'm looking forward to tons of creative new ideas for mouse traps being sent in!

[@alyctro8158]

they are so careful,they know you're after them

[@ouiaan]

Long time since the last time i had been here, but amazing that you try 3D mouse traps, great as always!

[@johnsweda2999]

A better way would make a pressure pad around a centre ring. What connects 2 locking tabs on either side what are pivoted. The top part pressing down on it lock its position, when weight is applied to the pad than it releases the catchs and it's slams down. Same principle as a gun Trigger

[@tallman8ft]

Nice work Zack can't wait to see v2

[@jaridkeen123]

Someone should make one of those traps that's just really over and above like one of them things were A ball rolls and then I hit something and then this happens and that happens and sooner or later kills the mouse just for fun

[@juliusfucik4011]

Very well done! Keep improving and one day you may have a more ergonomic one in stores! I have quite similar store bought traps that are simply held up by some plastic spring that you can pull up easily. The mechanism is triggered by the slightest touch of a thin piece of plastic. The device easily crushes the skulls of mice and can neatly be put into tunnels for catching moles and voles too.

[@salahsayemuddahr2356]

I watch these when i eat

[@MuskratOutdoors]

Very neat! A simple wire trigger would be better though.

[@DJaquithFL]

What an exciting idea of Subscriber Designed mouse traps, this going to be a very cool to watch! 🐀😎👍👍

[@Zombertino]

The only thing that would be keeping Zack from making some good money out of this if he markets it, is how complicated the setup process is. I also have my reservations about the mouse having to chew through the actual string for the trap to spring, but nothing a few brainstorm sessions can't fix.

[@Thebluflowerboi]

3:52 I love the “clunk” in the captions

[@toddbreeze7947]

I think that’s an awesome design, SHARK TANK BRO!!!

[@1iculungman]

I was wondering if the pretzel trigger from the prison trap could be incorporated in this trap as a support with the same caps to keep it from sliding and then with eaten slam down on the mouse? he may need to print a ring to compensate for the space of the pretzel.

[@kopecci9678]

place a 3 inch loose plastic 'post' in the center of the kill chamber , holding the striker plate up. Providing the teeth of the striker are longer than the width of the post, the mouse pressing against it can trip the striker to come down without the post interfering with the kill. The post could even be hinged to the striker.

[@wisteria2709]

Wow 3D printed?! That’s a pretty good trap for a printed one

[@dragonskunkstudio7582]

You can easily replace the string and suspend the top part with a prezel, mouse chews the pretzel it breaks and down goes the trap.

[@kingmuimui1]

The only issue I had with this was that the two doubled-up rubber bands had so much force that the pretzel liked to snap at random, especially as moisture from the air got to it. This trap is essentially just a novelty, and I'm already working on a completely different (and far simpler) design. Love the comments on feedback and suggestions though.

[@dirkdiggler5525]

Use a pretzel to hold it up. Remove top rail. And add lots and lots of holes or make poles like a jail thereby reducing material used and reducing cost.. Doesn't need to be a kill trap.

[@ianide2480]

I think that peanut butter all over the string might work. Just enough so that the oil soaks into the string, I'm sure the little buggers would gnaw at the string and set it off. This is exactly the bait I use in a plain ole spring trap. I just rub PB into some string or paper towel and jam it into the "bait" area of the catch. This makes them have to work at it and it never fails to catch them.

[@u1timatehope]

The 122 dislikes are from the Mouses friends and family 🤣

[@EllinonEnosis]

THIS is what the real internet....oldschool.....people getting involved and the producer of the video isnt some primadonna thinking he is above the rest....

[@killtyrant]

I have no idea how I stumbled across your video's almost a year ago now. However, I can honestly say that I look forward to some of the creations you show case in these video's. I love the idea of your viewers sending their own creations for you to critic and operate.

[@groefa]

"Critique and demonstrate" would be good alternatives to "critic and operate." Just a kind suggestion.

[@killtyrant]

Ro Efa Typed it out while on the shitter. I appreciate the kind suggestion though.

[@t.g_buffington]

I made a home made mouse trap using the top of a alligator head and a USB drive stick cheese for bait and a cheese grater with tooth picks sticking out of the cheese grater leading to the alligator head. The idea was the tooth picks would cut open the mouse and it would go for the cheese and knock down the USB drive stick and the alligator heads teeth would jab into the mouse and stab him along with trapping him there until he dies.

[@MireVale]

By the time you set it the mouse has died of old age

[@jamesh5460]

This channel will be a great motivator for people to build better mousetraps! Go innovation!

[@bobbyberetta4206]

Cool design Zack!

[@josephd.5524]

The string is a fun idea from Mascal, but I think this could be quite easy to make work with a simple wire trigger.

[@jaybs1962]

All very interesting, complicated and clever stuff. I just have a cat ...

[@lukasprovetti9057]

I like it... A good name would be "The Castle Mouse Trap" because seems like a castle

[@paulstaf]

What about taping an almond to a coffee straw, just strong enough to keep the trap up and when the mouse moves the straw, it collapses letting the catch fall.

[@Weaver263]

Try placing peanut butter or honey on the string to promote more chewing from the rat

[@francislematt7079]

Adding air holes on the striker's top part would keep it from slowing due to air trapped inside...

[@meganvinson7603]

neat uploaded yesterday and doing really good.

[@sonic-nk7gg]

Can you do some more gopher trap videos

[@TaunTom]

Shawn the type of guy to tie a string to a firecracker and call it a mousetrap. Seriously, let's get some bottle rocket action over a lake here.

[@BacadoTheSkoggy]

It genuinely makes me so upset to watch the mice die especially in such viscous ways, but i keep coming back to these videos and idk why, there’s something innately enticing about watching gruesome scenes
