OOOH.
Is pretty. Good job.

I'll be working on one soon. Maybe won't post it though.
But you've inspired me to tackle the Gizmo from your thread when you where up here.

Does anyone have any step for step with the ribbon cable? I have been trying to figure out what you do for that? Does it glue into the pack or do you gotta do somethng else to make it stay in place?

This build was such an inspiration!

hi late reply! I'm building my own our of foamcore/eva foam

what did you use for the motherboard?

[Naptime]

Hey! I used MDF board. Most likely 1/4" so it was rigid enough not to bend. Hope this helps and good luck with your build!

Thanks for the quick reply yes that helps! I’m from Vancouver (fellow Canadian GB) and making my build out of foam core/Eva foam and found a sticking point with the motherboard.

I don’t have any power tools and trying to stay away from them when making my build (accept a power drill for screws) but I think it’s safe to assume I’ll need them for this?

For the motherboard, you could try 1/8 inch ABS sheet or PVC foam board (sintra or foamex), both of which can be cut with aviation snips. I've used both for motherboards on my Spirit Halloween packs. I prefer the ABS as it is more sturdy and durable.

What did you use as an alternative for the legris elbow? And did you make the HGA and n filter yourself?

Yay! Fellow Canadian ghosthead! Yeah. I had to use a jigsaw to cut out the mdf board. Someone suggested 1/8” Sinatra or abs sheet which is good if you can get it, but I found mdf to be the easiest and cheapest to get. If there’s a tool library close to you, you could borrow it from them. Or rent one from Home Depot.

I can’t remember exactly what I used, but if you go to your local hardware store or Home Depot it’d be in the plumbing department - that’s where I found mine. As for the HGA & N filter: I used a Pringle’s can for the n-filter and cut a plumbing pipe and capped it for the HGA.

[Naptime]

Yes. I was able to score some from a theatre company.

[jonogunn]

hey Naptime. can i ask do you just hammer the tee-nut into the wooden block and that is secure enough? Also what was your method of choice attaching the wooden block to the mobo? I'm wondering if epoxy glue would be enough..
