Ghostbusters - Leg Hose Gizmo Box - the "PPCU"

thingiverse

Ever wondered where the Leg Hose is going to? Or what purpose it has? Wouldn't it be nice to have some actual "Gizmo" for it, than just tuck it under your belt? There are some rumors and even a statement by Dan Aykroyd, so most GB fans consider the Leg Hose to be a "Pee tube" Thinking of this as the true purpose, doesn't it sound a little disgusting, running an open pee tube just under the belt on your back?! ;) Having seen some designs of "gizmo boxes" I came up with my own design of the: PPCU - the "Parapsychic Pee Containment Unit" Hangs onto a belt clip with a V-Hook and can be attached to the leg Hose with a magnetic connector. Thanks to Quentin Machiels (https://www.thingiverse.com/mr_kiou/designs) for his V-Hook and Sage-25 design, as I used the base model to go with my design. Quentin has done some awesome work with his V3 pack. You would need to buy a switch to fit into the hole one the left side, I bough one from a local electronics store (https://asset.conrad.com/media10/add/160267/c1/-/en/001587664DS01/datenblatt-1587664-tru-components-tc-r13-2-05-kippschalter-250-vac-15-a-1-x-ausein-rastend-1-st.pdf) Print all parts once, just the Cylinder twice and you need some 4mm OD Hose to run from the Cylinders to the Brass Elbow and the resistor. Maybe some leftovers from Pack and Wand building. 4 x M4x8 screws for the lid 2 x M3x12 with nuts for the curcuit board 2 x M2x4 screws for the resistor 2 x M4x10 flat head screw for the V-Hook clue all other parts in place Holes in the "Hose Adapter" and "Hose Connector" fill fit 2 x 8x3mm Neodym magnets each. Strong enough to keep the Leg Hose in place "Hose connector" has 2 variants. "14mm" for a european 14mm OD hose "half inch" for US standard 1/2inch hose Still a "work in progress" as I see minor flaws after printing etc. Feel free to share your thoughts ! UPDATE 05.01.2022 remodeled the Fake Switch, as the lever was too flimsy. Sligthly bigger version (8x10cm) coming soon. This time with enough space and holes for small electronics.
