Hey guys,

I just wanted to showcase my 3D printed unlicensed nuclear accelerator. I lost count of the hours but it took about 8 months from start to finish.

You did a really good job! Did you make your own files or use someone else's?

Wow, that looks incredible. Exactly what parts here are 3D printed and what is not? Obviously the tubing and electronics are not lol, what about the shell though, is that fiberglass? And like NotSabbat asked, what files did you use?

Do you have the 3d models ? I'm looking for the current best to print my own pack soon.

This needs to be on thingiverse !

I used files fron Thingiverse. I'll link the files in a new reply.

Pretty much everything is 3D printed except the tubing and brass fittings and some small metal parts. The motherboard is plexiglas.

I'll link the files below.

Hey guys, Here's the files I used to create my pack. Some files have been modified to fit my needs and are not available online. But everything's there to print a great pack!

Happy printing!

That's awesome man, thanks. I've got a few more questions if you don't mind.

What method did you use to get rid of the layer lines? How long did it take you? What was the total cost of the pack?

Filler primer, Bondo glazing and spot putty and a lot of sanding is how you get rid of the lines

That said, I lost count of the hours. It took a lot of time to get the parts as smooth as I wanted.

There is about 50$ worth of PETG filament, maybe around 300$ on electronics and random parts, 200$ of putty, primer and paint... Overall I think I spent around 550-650$ Canadian on the pack.

And it took me around 14 months from start to finish on everything.

Thanks man, that looks amazing, can't wait to take similar pictures of myself lol.

Did you print that Dobby as well? Awesome pack.

That Pack is a work of art.

Yes I did print Dobby

I knew that wand looked familiar! Very nice work!

Thanks for sharing your files! Your wand is a great piece of engineering and art!

hey man awesome pack. was wondering what the thing that connects the loom tube to your handle is called and where you got it? (I'm from Canada)

Also do you have the name or a link to the red and white light you have on your wand?

Hi there, Im trying to download the files for the wand from thingiverse but i'g getting a 404 error. Do you still have the files themselves to share? maybe in a google drive link or something similar?

many thanks

Sorry, I don't have the files in my computer anymore. Try again on thingiverse, they are a reliable site and I tested earlier. It was working.

Great build! Can I ask how much this weighs? I'm curious to see how the weight compares to the Spirit Halloween pack (highly modified) I'm using now. I just got a 3D printer (Creality CR10s-Pro V2) and I may gift my current pack to my son

Stellar job, that looks great! Although Dobby looks so terrified of you in that first full-body shot.

It has an overall weigth of 18-19lbs.

Very cool build. I've been 3D printing for a few years now and it never ceases to amaze me the builds that can be achieved across the board with doing it. Great pack sir.

What adhesive or attachment method did you use to hold your PETG pieces together? I'm in the midst of printing my pack in PETG using Quentin Machiels MK2.1 designs (Thingiverse & the 3D Printed Ghostbusters Props Facebook group) and I haven't settled on how to glue/attach the pieces together. I've seen everything from friction welding, welding, CA glue (super glue), epoxy, Weld-On (#3 or #4), etc. and I can't decide.

Thanks!

WOW!!!! Just WOW, I thought i had done atleast a half decent job of eliminating print lines but you nailed it.... any advice as im also 3d printing my pack?
