I wanted to have a running log of my build as a memory of something I have wanted to own for a long time, but money was a limitation. Now, in the world of 3d printing and things like what Spirit is doing are helping us little (i'm a big guy) guys get something to fight ghosts. I have taken off the stock wand and electronics and ordered a new 1:1 Neutrino wand which should be here Friday, as well as receiving my Jupiter light kits for my pack and wand. Many a 3d part are on the way and I already have Spongefaces dress up kit and pack mounting hardware. Pics of this stuff will come soon. I will keep this running as parts come in and paint and such are applied.

Here is the pack mostly stripped down. The stickers were removed right after this, but I was a sleepy ZERO, so not a pic (yet).

Someone said that the pack uses a few different sizes to be accurate. This sheet looks like it has 80% and full size stickers. I also got a few extra stickers, one of them being the DANGER sticker that goes on the motherboard behind the ALICE frame.

Some updates tonight. Still waiting on some of my 3d printed stuff to come in. I started attaching the resistors, heatsink and hoses to the ion arm area. I have not attached the hoses yet as I am going to paint the L connectors and I need to use another glue as the stuff I used on these pieces didnt work. I need to fill the hole on top where they just shoved the blue hose into. I have a proper connector for the hose to go into.
Old stuff next to new stuff

I also filled the spot where the original Neutrino Wand would hang.

Last thing for tonight. Me and the wife started epoxying the front and rear grip for my full size Neutrino Wand.

A huge thank you to the many people who put work into 3d designing, printing and letting the community use the parts that came from their efforts. Names and links listed below.

Ah yeah, I remember seeing these now. He won't ship to the UK though, so couldn't get them sadly :( the few folk I could find who did metallic stickers didn't so Spirit-scaled ones either. Very frustrating!

Progress. Still waiting on parts and for the weather to not be garbage. I need to paint ALOT. While I wait, I removed some more pack and am filling but I don't have any pics of that yet. I cut off the the crank knob. I will be back bracing and filling that spot flat to put an actual knob there. I am also going to fill where the straps that came on the pack were mounted. I also ordered real Clippard brass fittings for the 3 visible ones so its super shiny, as well as awesomer tubing, and an actual block for the two booster tube hoses on the side of the pack where there is currently only one.
I did, however, start assembling my Neutrino Wand

Again, what is holding me up is paint. Hopefully this weekend.

No problem. I figured that I could compile all the 3d file links in here instead of everyone having to dig for them.

Updates

I was finally able to spray a ton of parts.

Pack painted and starting to reassemble. Chromed a bunch of stuff, got better tubing. I added a block to run both hoses to the booster tubes. I got real brass Clippard fittings . Ion arm also installed

Image

Ribbon cable, and cable clip attached. Crank handle painted chrome and attached. Most of the stickers applied. Put in red Cyclotron lenses.

Image

I painted the Clippard valve but it was drying when I took this pic. I laid my Neutrino Wand next to the pack to get a feeling for where it will be. Just received my Spongeface light kit so that will be coming soon. Still need to weather a lil and attach some stuff like more bolts and hardware. Also need to work on a motherboard.
