I got a 50mm hinge from B&Q that has the right number of segments. Seems the originals used a cut down piano hinge though. Thanks for the recommendation. I’ll have a look at those. Now I’ve got the parts for the trap printed I’m gonna look at printing the bits for the pedal (the parts I want to 3D print) and then I’m going to buy all real parts for the rest of it. Already started as mentioned before with the 11 pin relay. Just trying to find the bits as cheap as possible as money is kind of like goldust at the moment. Not got much spare at the moment. ---

Just looking at the lights for my trap. I know on the list it says Adafruit 2860 but would these do the job [https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/252067161443](https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/252067161443) ? I’ve got these in my [proton pack](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/proton-pack) for the [cyclotron](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/proton-pack/cyclotron) lights and the wand light too. It also uses the Adafruit Neopixel library as well to control them. Regards, Brett ---

Only two hole hinges I can find either in 38mm or 50mm sizes. Regards, Brett ---

I’m sure that would work fine though, you may need to re-drill the holes in it though, depending on how the line up with the vector plate holes - I had to do this, and it was fine. I could tap enough of the new hole, and used nuts on the rear, and it holds with no problems. I used a real vector plate on mine, rather than a 3D printed one. ---

Hi All, I’ve got some [split loom tubing](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/proton-pack/split-loom) for the trap to [pedal hose](https://www.gbfans.com/shop/trap-pedal-hose). I got 8mm tubing with 1/4" inner diameter. However, it doesn’t look big enough to me Does anyone know what size the outer diameter tubing should be? Thanks, Brett EDIT: BROUGHT SOME MORE THAT IS 10MM O/D AND 6.5MM I/D. A review said that it is the exact size needed if building a ghostbusters trap and pedal.
