I had some left over MDF from my pack build so I ventured to build a trap. I used Sean's measurements and the template from JT001 found here: http://www.joseballesteros.com/misc/gb/ ... tes-v1.pdf (These are pretty good to get you started, but you will have to add and subtract from some parts as they aren't bang on. They're an excellent start though but its good to cross reference everything with Seans and other plans before you commit to attaching pieces.
Just a note, I built this last July so my memory may be a little foggy on some of it.
After cutting the templates and tracing, and measuring, I got the jigsaw out and off I went.
Template for the front indicator traced onto my signature mini blind slats.
Here I was trying to template the battery top on the rear, I used some thin plastic from an old VHS case. This wasnt the final product.
As you see, I went 1 piece for the trap doors. For the slot on the top to simulate 2 doors I just used a hacksaw and cut down a little ways to create the line. I should also note, the inner cartridge sides have been cut out to reduce the weight on the trap. So the inner sides are just basically "L's".
Added the front of the cartridge.
Handle and hole for the battery pack light.
