This is a mix and modification of a couple of other "Things" on Thingiverse...

I needed to make a fly trap, and the one for the Snapple bottle seemed like a good small size, but it's hard to find the Glass Snapple Bottles. I do have a few of the 20oz Gatorade bottles, so I've just used a bit of TinkerCAD and modified these to things and built a new one for my situation...

I used white ABS here for mine, mostly because the walls of the Gatorade cap source were thin and I thought the ABS would hold up better. They don't fit on perfect, but well enough for a semi-disposable fly trap.

Just add a half inch or so of Apple Cider Vinegar to the bottle and put on the cap.

Differences of the remix compared to the original

Made a hole in the cap to allow for the cone.

 

On the SnapTrap, took the cone, made it longer/taller to go further into the bottle, and used just enough to fill the hole in the cap, making it all one unit.
