This Ghost Trap Pedal is over 26 parts designed to be 3D printed except for the screws and other key elements that just aren't printable. The pedal can also accommodate hardware upgrades and a switch or other electronics for triggering the Ghost Trap. A complete list of hardware needed is included in the downloads.

The first gallery picture is a Deluxe trap with as much real hardware as possible, the rest are 3D printed as much as possible. Unlike my Ghost Trap which is fully 3D printable, the pedal is more challenging and needs additional 'real' parts such as the hinge, tubing, ribbon cable, and the hard-to-find relay.

I modeled the pedal starting with excellent plans from Stefan Otto from www.gbfans.com and from there made further modifications based on my own research, manufacturer blueprints, real parts and an abundance of photo reference.

While the pedal is almost fully printable, it was designed based on real parts whenever possible so they can be swapped out as an upgrade. For example, the 3D printed base can be used as a template to upgrade to 1/2" MDF.
