Ghostbusters Neutrino Wand

thingiverse

This neutrino wand is based off the wonderful model by DancinFool82. There were a number of modifications I wanted to make to reduce filament used in printing and allow the use of 3/4 inch PVC pipe for the handles. I'm making a proton pack for my son and the handles need to be smaller. I've split the main base to make it easier to print with minimal support. There are small guides modeled inside so the side panel will be easier to glue on. I've added a new mounting peg for the rear handle that has a base piece that slides on before the PVC pipe. This looks more like the original prop to me. The bottom base plate has been redone to allow the use of M2 screws to put it together. There are screw mounts in the main base and side pieces. This will allow access to the electronics after it's put together. The front handle parts have been reduced a little in size to match the smaller 3/4 inch pipe handle. For an adult I think 3/4 inch PVC is better anyway as it feels better in my hands as well. All of the parts have been cleaned up and checked for errors as well. I was having some issues printing some of the original parts. I did not include the clippard valve. I'm using this one which is great https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2286284 Update: 6/5/17 I've added a new main box (gunbox_main_updated.stl) which fixes a couple of issues and adds an internal mount for a 10 and 5 led bargraph. The display area will work with 14 leds. Also updated the clear tube adapter and end piece so they are now sized for a 25mm clear tube Update 6/15/2017 More improvements to the gunbox. The front lip on the bargraph area is reduced and there is a cutout to bring the bargraph closer to the surface. Update 7/21/2017 I'm finishing up the build of this. I'm making 2 of them. One for my son who's a lefty, so everything is reversed, and one for my wife. Added a photo of the lefty version ready for final assembly Update 8/10/2017 - Removed the old base plate and gun track and replaced with a combined model with more detail. Should look better and be stronger - Added a new gunbox_main that has a thicker roof area. This improves strength in that spot where I've had some breakage. Update 8/25/17 - Remodeled the gunbox_front_valve.stl and gunbox_back_handle_valve.stl files to be higher quality
