Summary

This a remix of Victor Compatible Rat Trap Hood - https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6425563 by cshep99 which was based on TwinTraps' "Rat Trap Hoodie" device available on their store page.

I added two hold downs for the rat hoodie, a bait adapter and a hold down for the back of the rat trap. This should allow it to be screwed down with four 4mm screws. If mounting to a wood board I would recommend a size of 6"x12"-14". Note: You can add some cooking oil on the wood board to make it slippery next to the trap entrance. Making it harder for the rat to escape. When installing the bait adapter you need to bend the pin up to about a 30 degree angle. Push the bait adapter on and down with a little force and it should "click". Then bend the pin back down. If your printer has different tolerances you can try to increase the print percentage to make it fit.

I was able to use this to catch several mice by adjusting the sensitivity way up on the trap.

Updated Rat Trap Hood v1.1 - I moved the hood about 1.5mm forward. I was seeing an issue where the spring was hitting the back of the hood on my two traps I have and cracking the front of the hood.
