A full size, 3D printable version of the Ghostbusters' Proton Pack, proton thrower control box. Based on Sean Bishop's plans at:http://www.gbfans.com/wiki/Sean_Bishop's_Prop_Plans This part is designed use PVC tubing of around 1.25" diameter, The part will fit tubes up to 33.9mm with some sanding. Packing may be required for smaller tubes. If you like these, please post a 'I Made One'. Thanks!! Fit the switch box and slowblow box using 1/4" x #4 self tap screws. You will need a right angle ratchet screwdriver for the innermost screw:http://www.amazon.co.uk/Rolson-Offset-Screwdriver-Set-Pieces/dp/B0080R29PE/ref=sr_1_2?s=diy&ie=UTF8&qid=1417561484&sr=1-2&keywords=right+angle+screwdrivers The switch box is held in place with two 1" x #4 self tappers. If you feel this is insufficient, epoxy the switch box to the end of the slowblow box. A clamping piece is used to hold the rear grip tube in place, use 3/4" x #4 self tap screws to hold this in place, and place a couple more into the tube itself. The front tube is held in place with two 3/4" x #4 self tappers screwed diagonally from the bottom of the box. There are two more holes that can be used to screw the tube in place at the top of the front tube holder, but these will be inaccessible when the side panel is glued into place. Epoxy the side panel into place. I used M3 threaded brass inserts in the box to allow easy access to the internals by removing the box bottom (see photo).
