Humane Bucket Mouse Trap Take Two

I changed to ceramic ball bearings. Very low friction! The first mouse you see doing (quite well) a log roll. Very talented, but not quite talented enough. I 3D printed the bearing holders, and used a standard 1 inch pvc pipe. I used a 5/16 threaded rod that goes from one side of the bucket to the other side. You simply drill two holes for the threaded rod, 180 degrees apart, put one end of the threaded rod into one hole, then stretch the bucket to put the other one in. Parts: One 5/16 threaded rod, 1 bucket width long (plus a little) Two 5/16 Nylock nuts (or Four 5/16 nuts used as “jam“ nuts). One piece of 1 inch PVC pipe smaller than one bucket width Two bearing holders (3D Print) One Bucket Two ceramic roller blade bearings. Peanut Butter.
