3D Printed Mouse House - Extended Version

Print showing the entrace to the 'Mouse House'

Background: Student to designed a container that would contain a working mouse trap.  This would protect a domestic animal or young child from setting off the trap accidentally.  This is the second version of this project, with the first featured here on this website (although this was considerably larger).
Background: This was students first individual attempt at 3D Printing by the student who was nine years old.   It was for a showcase (which has featured on a number of projects that have been featured on this site).
Level of Difficulty: Medium.   The design was significantly large (see details of the Printing Time).  The basic shape was from the Tinkercad interface wtih the addition of a hollow out section for the placement of the trap.   This design was printed with an extremely large amount of 'rafting' to allow the shape to be completed.
Timeframe: Twenty-Seven hours.  Given this fact this was a 'one off' print this was acceptable, the print itself could have been resized given the design brief, which would have leant itself to a considerably shorter print time.

Size: The dimension of this print were considerable - 15cm at the height of the roof structure.   The print was 15m long and 12cm wide.   The width of the walls was 5mm thick. 
What we would do differently: The print allowed a student to have his first experience with 3D printing and great a significant design.  The student could have personalised this design with thier name either externally or internally.   The shape/size came about as the result of the students experience with 3D Printers - while it worked it could have had considerable redesigning.
Next Steps for Students: As above - redesigned and personalised.
