Observation box for mice
Stackable boxes for observing animal behavior with individual lighting and removable floor and lid.
Inner dimensions are 40 x 15 x 20 cm (approx. 15 3/4 x 7 3/4 x 6")
Components
- 6mm opaque white acrylic sheets
- 3mm clear acrylic sheets
- 4mm corrugated plastic sheets
- Strip of 30+ LEDs
- LED connector
- Power supply
- Female DC barrel jack adapter
- Power cord
- Two-wire cable
Build instructions
- 3D print the LED holder using the provided CAD model. Remove print supports.
- Laser cut the acrylic sheets using the provided CAD drawings. Remove protective film.
- Finish cutting the corrugated plastic with the help of a utility knife, if needed.
- Peel the adhesive backing from the LED connector and attach it to the wide space of the LED holder, with the screw terminals facing out.
- Peel the adhesive backing from the LED strip; connect the LED strip to the LED connector -making sure to match the polarity and attach it to the narrow space of the LED holder.
- Connect positive and negative sides of the LED connector to the positive and negative sides of the DC adapter (respectively). Optionally, add a 50 to 200 Ohm resistor in series with one of the two LED cables to dim the lights.
- Assemble all acrylic parts (except for the roof) using painter's tape and apply acrylic cement or 2-part epoxy. Remove painter's tape after drying.
- Use Cyanoacrylate to attach the LED setup to the removable lid.
Usage
- Insert the removable floor made of corrugated plastic.
- Place the mouse in the cage.
- Close the lid and power on the LEDs.
