With the wife getting into the Ghostbuster gig with me, I needed another Lifegard, and can't find any at the moment. A little yellow PLA and Jason407 (Thingiverse)'s excellent Lifegard II model - and we're in business!
Did up a few of these, wanted to see how vertical orientation printed vs. horizontal. Forgot to take post-print pictures, these are after a fast sand/paint/weather/clearcoat.
Horizontal:
Vertical:
Vertical orientation definitely prints nicer. That one will be going to the wife, the other will be given to a less fortunate Ghostbuster at C2E2, likely.
The backplate is a remix I designed to use a #620 clip from Theclip.com instead of a printed-on clip, as they break. I also put in all the holes for mounting up, so you can use the backplate as a drill guide.
