Both RGB and movie equipment. So I collect action figures and tinker with little projects now and then. I've been using the old Diamond Select GB gear for stuff I want to turn into a GB device, or give something GB equipment. I've basically used it all up and if I get another idea or want a proton pack for something, I'd be out of luck. While I want both RGB and movie gear I'd rather it look less like the Kenner stuff and more like from the actual media. Think the Diamond Select RGB/GB gear, or upcoming Mondo figures. I wouldn't mind if I had to paint them myself or anything. I figure maybe there's folks that 3d print them? If there's any out there I'd love to know.

Years ago on Shapeways searching for Bassmaster pulled up traps and goggles for the Mattel scale figures. I bought some and they were ok. Quality wasn't amazing due to scale, and would now days be done with a resin printer.
Could try a search like that on Yeggi or similar

I recently designed these at 1:12, but as alpha says the detail is limited if you're not printing resin:

(These were printed with 0.4 nozzle @ 0.2 layer height as a proof-of concept; I've got a 0.2 nozzle to try but need to tweak the design a bit for the extra resolution - so there is a bit more detail possible).

Also printed them on a white backing plate to fit a 90x90mm deep box frame:

Those do look really cool, Nighty. What if they were scaled up a tad? Like a 7 inch figure sort of scale? Looking at the three old sets of packs I have from figures the Diamond Select absolutely looks the best. The other two being Mattel and Retro Action soft good RGBs. Mattel seem scrunched together and thin and the Retro Action are rather cartoony. Which is perfectly fine for some things, but not usually what I want them for. The DS ones are perfect though and despite using one on something I'm trying not to destroy the other three since they look and function so well for six to seven inch figures. Though I did mod them so the wand could stick to the pack since their little plastic v hook didn't really work well. I do have the Hasbro plasma series GB's but I have yet to open them due to no room, so no idea what the scale on theirs looks like.

Thanks Venom. Yeah no problem, I'll have a play with the design.
Apart from my original Kenners (6"?) I haven't got any other figures, so if you could let me know the hand grip diameter for yours that'd be a great.
(Also a pic of the figure, next to a ruler (cm/mm please) would be ideal).
