Hello all;
I became more than a little obsessed about making a Ghostbuster costume for this Holloween and now that its over and Im not busy building, I thought I would share what I made with the help of this fine site and members.
I used an old Printrbot Simple metal with a 6"x6"x5" bed to print it, a Bondo spot filler/glaze as the filler and a $20 detail sander from Walmart to smooth it out.
I used STL files from DancinFool, CountDem0nt, MileyORiley and a couple STLs I made myself. Its very obviously not done yet, there are a few tweeks I need to make before its accurate, but its in a good place, I couldnt have done it without this site and I wanted to share
Here is where it is now:
The wood ended up warping. Eventually I will replace it, but it did the job for the season.
You can kind of see the texture from the bed liner here
Some in process pictures
The gear box in the smoothing proccess
Cheap wood motherboard for now. The mounting brackets are 3D printed too and have worked really well
The spacers
Blurry picture of my back at a Halloween party
Future plans are to correct the inaccurate straps on the ALICE pack, replace the Clippard Valves with real ones, fix the grey clippards (they arent correct), Lights and sound, get decals and make a better wand completely. The wand was made in about a day just to get it done for Holloween, so isn't very good.
The whole thing weighs about 15lbs.
So there you go, my pack build.
