4 followers · 138 posts · Server mastodon.sandwich.netI’m just going to wait for the MK4 of the QPack to completely release and start over again. Things broke during assembly. I rushed through some things. I’ll take my findings from the first round to make improvements on round 2. The only thing I will not be able to reuse are the stickers, so that’s a win. #ProtonPackBuild

Nothing much to report. Just waiting on parts. The motherboard was ordered yesterday. Waiting on the ion arm end cap, cable clamp, vacuum hose, some strain relief, and lenses to show up. #3DPrinted #3DPrinting #Ghostbusters #ProtonPack #ProtonPackBuild

4 followers · 122 posts · Server mastodon.sandwich.netThe cause of the boo boo is when I was screwing the elbow in, it shifted and started going in at an angle. When making the hole bigger, I did step up the hole’s size with different sized drill bits. Trying to correct the shift by drilling straight down caused more issues.
It made me realized that I should have bought the elbows first, measured them, and then made the M3 holes in the Q Pack models the size I needed. I’ll do that if I ever get the urge to make another.

Definitely had some oh shit moments here. Like how did my hole get so far off center? I’ve used a drill before. Will have to print a part to cover my mess up on the filler tube. #3DPrinted #3DPrinting #Ghostbusters #ProtonPack #ProtonPackBuild

Bellows painted and complete. I could not bring myself to spend north of $70 for a metal, movie accurate one, so I spent $8 in hardware, and used the washer method. #3DPrinting #3DPrinted #Ghostbusters #ProtonPack #ProtonPackBuild

Using the washer method to make the bellows for the shock mount. Did I say that right? #ProtonPackBuild

Proton Pack Road Map
- Finish shell (Bellows, tubing, resistors, nuts and bolts)
- Order/install aluminum motherboard
- Order/install Alice frame
- Order/install lights and electronics
- Once pack is 100% then move on to wand. I will never finish the pack if I move on to the wand early.
- Flight suit has been decided on. I’m going court room casual. #ProtonPackBuild

Installed a real Clippard valve to the pack. A realistic one made from resin wouldn’t have saved me that much money.
Also finished the HGA.
Waiting for the Ion Arm end cap to arrive. Need to source a metal bellows that isn’t freaking expensive. Send help. #3DPrinted #3DPrinting #Ghostbusters #ProtonPack #ProtonPackBuild
