Well as nice as this is to see the picture of the real prop, I have just found "several" issues to fix with my current design. My plan is -as close as I can- but within the limits of actually finishing it. :) Hey Far451! I tried messaging you on Facebook but didn't see a reply. I'd love t...

Amazing as always, the work inside the prop is unprecedented!

Are you planning to use your existing styrene faceplate or swap it out for your 3D printed one?

AJ here's a video of random measurements in case this helps. https://youtu.be/pyXwoo_smtk I kinda lost steam on this project when that new photo proved the sliver lens base is now back in the "partially unidentified" realm lol In searching for other microscope and telescope adapters, the ...

Unfortunately, I have a couple personal roadblocks regarding working on updated Proton Pack plans any further: There are companies and people who have had access to the hero prop, but either aren't able to share the measurements or aren't willing. It feels pointless for me to try and scale/rotate ph...

Based on the photos in this thread, I'm really starting the think the base of the lenses are a T mount like this: https://i.imgur.com/9m6k16y.jpg This could mean the T mount threads into the mounting plate and then the lens would thread into the T mount. Not sure if this was already pointed out or n...

I think it's good for us to model as many of these items as possible due to their age and rarity. Who knows if Spirit is still offering theirs 5 years from now? I'm working to model the Ecto Goggles, PKE meter, and a couple other items that I'd like to provide the community should they become more d...

Sorry everyone, I had my first child last March and this past year has flown by. I do have this project sitting on my workbench and I have a bit more free time now that he's getting a bit older, but it's still hard to find enough time to keep prototyping and printing. I also recently switched over t...

You guys are all infinitely more knowledgable on this stuff, but any chance the lens isn't mounted to the exterior plate, but the interior plate? If the exterior plate just has a hole that the lens sticks through, a good portion of the knurled ring would be hidden from view? Does that make any sens...

Glenn had another photo of the upper left lens that I didn't see included which shows the height of the band (let me know if you want this taken down Glenn): https://i.imgur.com/CG5aOchl.jpg Like AJ, I modeled the the lenses based on the measurements and put them over the AN/PVS-5 frame I've been mo...

Excited to follow this one! I just got a AN/PVS-5 frame but I’d like to print a set using these files, they look so good.

This thread is a perfect example of the community working together to create something everyone can utilize. Thank you again for making these public Tyrael! I was wondering, did you use a scrubber as a basis for this model or some other item as a reference for scale? I'm wondering if it would help t...

Those photos are amazing and extremely helpful, thanks Kingpin!

I'm jealous you got to see all of that so closely.

Awesome, thanks! Looks pretty spot on to me when scaled with the Hammond boxes:



Great find, would it be possible for you to also measure the knurl length on the cylinder? That would help me in creating a digital copy.

Would you mind taking some measurements with a caliper or ruler for reference? That would help determine if it's the right length and diameter.

After talking with a member of staff at Propstore, it appears that the following items will be on display: •The Ghost Trap Would it be possible for you to try and snap a couple specific photos of the trap: Lower front section where the L-bracket is holding the cartridge in Area on the side where th...

Clippard valves Spectra ribbon cable Toggle and momentary switches Some other parts are still available (Legris straight fittings) from vendors but aren't manufactured anymore. My suggestion is if you see something available, just grab a set to be safe. If you end up not using it, there's always a ...

The plan is to use a 9g servo with a slot on the arm to convert the rotary motion to linear. It's cheap, it's strong, and it's easier than the other options I've tried! My plan for this project is to have everything 3D printable. I don't have access to an end mill or CNC so I wanted to keep it simple.

I would like to help get the mechanism rolling again but don't want to go down a dark rabit hole that has already been exhausted. happy to help Honestly, any idea you have or want to roll with could be better than what I'm doing! I gave up on the motorized antenna for the moment as it was taking up...

Hey Everyone, Recently I've been working on some 3D files for a couple pieces of GB equipment and got to thinking about the concept of creating 3D references for everything. The plans we have on the site are extremely dated given the resources we have today and it would be great for the community to...

I know this is a long shot however would you release the STL files provided it was made for personanal use (EX.made for cosplay not for sale)? There is another RGB PKE meter online thats about the same quality but the plans are sold per download . Do you have a link to where those plans are being s...

HI kingpin, it seems that the measurement picture link is not working. Can you repost the image with correct link ? Thanks in advance! Unfortunately Imageshack deleted everything after they went pay-only. I'll try post a link to the image at some point when I get a chance. I also have a backup copy...

I've updated the first post to make the OnShape link more accessible. I'll also start exporting some of the finalized parts to an STL format and eventually Thingiverse. I'll plan to provide the links in the same area of the first post as well.

It's been a bit - Anything new on this front Cole? How did the bigger linear servo work out? Unfortunately not only was the bigger linear servo super expensive, but it also left me with no room to add rails for the mast to ride on. I'm not sure I mentioned it, but I was attempting to remove the mot...

Are you going to share any of the codes for the raspberry pie you're putting into rhis? Of course! I plan to post the source code as well as an image for an SD card people could flash if they didn't want to mess with any code. I'm keeping it private until I have more bugs worked out so that someone...

Making some progress now that it's getting cold out... https://i.imgur.com/8C2gZd4.gif I'm trying to swap to a linear servo to help save space on the inside of the PKE since it's running out quickly. This is a small 1.5g servo that shows some promise. I've ordered a 2.9g one as well since the curren...

Hey Cole, any update on this thing? Dying to build one. Not as much as I'd like, I've been doing some small changes but haven't really had the time to fine tune the rest of the details. The remaining things I need to finalize are: Raspberry Pi code Internal mounting layout Antenna wing design (wiri...

Yeah the whole idea is for sharing of information. The code I'm developing is primarily based in Python and ran on Linux since I'm using a Raspberry Pi Zero. The goal would be to create a file you could flash to an SD card that would make it as easy as possible.
