Greetings patrons and visitors!
For this update, I wanted to first say thank you for continuing to follow and/or subscribe to this Patreon. I am quite grateful that so many fellow Ghostbuster builders have taken an interest in using the 3D files and ideas in their own work here. After a hot, sweltering summer, I can fee...

Okay - so I'm not sure what the Extreme pack parts are actually called (if anyone has a diagram with official-ish names, that'd be awesome) in this case, I'll simply call this the 'dispenser'?
These are larger parts but still will fit an Ender 3 plate size!
A few notes:
Looking for a quick project? This print is a variation of my Hasbro Blaster MOD V-Hook battery cover released last year. I thought it'd be interesting to have the ability to have a version that could attach to a standard camera tripod for display (...

Get your printers ready - I have the first round of parts for the Extreme Ghostbusters Proton Pack ready to go. This process will go a bit differently than the past as I am not personally building these parts in the immediate future. I don't have enough room for another proton pack in my lif...

The Spirit PKE meter (also known as the Rubies PKE) has been a staple in my costuming over the years - but has escaped my modding interests. I've seen some great paint jobs and electronics mods for the Spirit PKE over the years - but I guess I never got around to tinkering with it. It looked good enough on my belt holster and...

Who remembers getting their first proton pack as a kid?
Maybe it was a cardboard box with some straps. Maybe it was a black backpack with some hot glued wires. Maybe you were lucky enough to get the old Kenner roleplay toy.
For my nephew's 5th birthday, I decided to take on building him his very fir...

It has been a few weeks since the last part release for the Extreme Neutrona Blaster - and it seems this project has been quite popular! I have been very happy to see a number of builds going on Instagram!
Greetings!
I know the Patreon/Instagram has been a bit quiet lately. Towards the end of May, I had a staff shakeup in my 'real business' so I've been doubling up on my professional responsibilities. With that said, I have a few key updates to share regarding this Patreon's charitable giving campaign AND some project upd...

To round out the parts for the Extreme Ghostbusters Neutrona Blaster, here is my current design for the canister!
I designed this part to be detachable. It can slot into the blaster port and small twist will lock it into place. Additionally, the main shell is two parts - I printed my outer shell using a gold metallic PL...

Get a grip!
This handle is a very simple - a few pipes, an elbow, and a 'screw on' hose connector. There are machine screw holes but you may want to further secure the pipe and elbow with epoxy for added rigidity.

A blaster wouldn't be any good without a trigger! Here is the trigger mechanism I designed for the Extreme Neutrona Blaster.
The main body inserts into the control armature and is designed with a 90 degree "slot" to allow the control arm to rotate. This part can be secured using a single 4 mm machine screw. For the trig...

Yeah... so... it's a box.
This hooks up to the front of the Control Arm - and should make for a great spot to build in some future electronics. This can be attached to the Control Arm using 3 mm hex cap screws. 4 mm hex cap screws will attach the lid.
Keep on building! :)

Next up - the blaster control arm! The previously released barrel should plug securely into the front ring. The rear handle will have a design to allow this arm to rotate/pivot as well (coming soon!)

I'm going to be shaking up my process a bit - normally I release files for my projects after I have been able to do a 'first build'. This helps me iron out the kinks in my files or change things up if I feel like it. Recently, I embarked on designing Extreme Ghostbusters-related props starting with the Neutrona Blaster.

The question I most often get asked regarding the things I publish here - "What if I don't have a 3D printer?"

There are many flavors of R.T.V.s (Remote Trap Vehicle) popping up these days. The Ghostbusters Afterlife prop is arguably one of the most creative concepts in the new movie and was the focus of two extremely fun ghost chasing sequences.
Admittedly, I'm a bit of a novice to the RC hobby world. The 'screen accurate' prop...

There are a few little details on the RGB pack that I realized I hadn't published yet! This post incudes:
A firehouse playset that can hold the full length of the Ectomobile? It wasn't a reality in the 80s but thanks to 3D printing we can finally give the Ecto-1 a proper platform. This 3D file is designed to slide right on top of the base platform of the Firehouse playset.
You'll also notice there are some plugs on th...

The Kenner Ghostbusters Firehouse is an iconic vintage playset - but it's not without opportunities to be improved.
A key design flaw, in my view, is the lack of a proper 2nd floor. In the original design, we are given a partial L-shaped 2nd floor - it's more of a mezzanine and there aren't many options for play or disp...
