hey Gang! I haven’t been here in years!! Some time has passed since I started my build.. we’ll never really started. Still have a ton of parts in boxes in my closet Anyway! I now have a 5yr old niece. Who is a HUGE Ghost head! Last year I made her a quick little ghostbusters costume with the 2016 GB kids pack, and spirit Halloween stuff She likes it but wanted the “boys costume” so Ive started piecing things together for her I downloaded some pack files to 3d print. But learned of the spirit pack which is much smaller then the real one. On a chance I ordered it and it showed up today. My god does this make things so much easier!! I see there are a ton of spirit pack builds on here, I don’t want to waste space with our simple build. Since it’s going to be just a repaint and few small upgrades But I want to install the GBfans sound board setup. I’m going to need help with that. So I figured I’d start a thread, hoping if I get stuck you guys could light the way I’ve been a weekly lurker in the shop section and it seems the sound boards don’t last long. Does spongeface still supply the boards to the site? Does he sell them regularly or do we have to wait until they are restocked in the store? Again, it’s going to be a pretty simple setup, but would really like to put the sound board setup inside it Does anyone know if the thrower light kit fits inside the spirit thrower? Again thank you all for your time! Here’s a pick of us last year ![image](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/3X/8/e/8eddbf416f5cd20a36e6196001d298e0483ce496.jpeg) And here is the spirit stripped down for upgrades and paint ![image](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/3X/7/d/7d0c0caff37b7c038920348c87f5d340a3fbb1b1.jpeg) Probably going to cut the [motherboard](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/proton-pack/motherboard) out of aluminum or lexan.. I gotta try and keep this as light as possible for her.. Thanks again for everything!! ---

A little progress today. Pack has been completely stripped downs some stuff sanded and filled I was going to use the N filter, I cut some holes in it but don’t like the way you can see the insides So I’m currently 3d printing my own Here’s some progress pics Made my own [injector](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/proton-pack/injectors) box (is that what the call it?) so I won’t need this anymore ![image](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/3X/3/a/3ab1859ee98f250fdb8d5cff710a1f074865ab0c.jpeg) Here you can see the mess inside. Even with the cap on you see the stuff inside. I’m just cutting it off and sliding my own on ![image](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/3X/b/3/b37d26561b8e98207c10a1dc01541e555b28d874.jpeg) ![image](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/3X/6/7/6796a2c5a844c08765ff642c4d88e147704ed0e0.jpeg) Sanding and filling in my future.. ![image](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/3X/a/b/abacd4e5824da213ef8c8d7d4d2b23caffb45195.jpeg) Ground off those fake screws to fill and add real 1/4-20 hex bolts ![image](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/3X/3/9/39485aabc341929e5518cc0a39b82a1f9e8395fe.jpeg) Removing copy right info, eck!!! ![image](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/3X/4/a/4a7e572f02780cdf1177ecec1ff350185f1546cf.jpeg) I figured add real rivets why not? ![image](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/3X/a/1/a11f8bc8eb1af482556cb6ecf35804a697f18726.jpeg) I 3d printed a speaker delete, and hot glued it in, this way I can fill the speaker holes ![image](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/3X/1/8/18510c70e4ec6831b19af8d06e0095eb87b4423e.jpeg) ![image](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/3X/b/8/b8bf16943306db5a3a9bb918d5816fb5e5144a9a.jpeg) Round 1 of fill ![image](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/3X/b/2/b248fef3f6bdb21b9af60e8e98b04d6055ebb495.jpeg) ---

Quick sand. And round 2 of fill ![image](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/3X/1/e/1e723c8245a4d4b9cd1e46d0541ba5a6bcdf920d.jpeg) What I like about this build is its relaxed. You don’t have to stress over accuracy, and is just really fun ---

Little more progress but that’s it for today. Printed the test for the n filter which fits perfect. 6 hour print so I’ll print that in the morning, hopefully it’s not raining I got other projects I need to finish and can’t paint outside with the weather the way it has been.. ![image](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/3X/3/a/3a8cf65cb9a1fa8477b9fffa668d11393093e42d.jpeg) [Injector](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/proton-pack/injectors) box is almost ready ![image](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/3X/c/5/c59ca5697b73d5899ce93f9152b34aac164ecf50.jpeg) ---

Alittle more progress, decided to tackle some wand mods ![image](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/3X/5/2/52d8a619e29d6f1b670755618c94e4167e7ee270.jpeg) A 1/8th drill bit works great for making the vent grill ![image](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/3X/5/2/52d8a619e29d6f1b670755618c94e4167e7ee270.jpeg) I drill some holes in a row. Then use a rats tail file and a flat file to make the vents ![image](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/3X/d/6/d619e849585383a5364e59ff45b5b709c8b03746.jpeg) ![image](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/3X/a/5/a59fdf5d142d3528b0ef27cc94027f3abb1c30a0.jpeg) ![image](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/3X/1/c/1c05b523cd268e8e95b550ad9f5dc347fd4ec680.jpeg) ---

Now with the thrower vents in the print finally finished… ![image](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/3X/5/f/5f7c3f845c5d500fba30cc98159358a2b2d7b8cb.jpeg) I started with a paper template to transfer onto the 3d print ![image](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/3X/f/7/f7220d8f92424a1b504b8ffa4734f98c9c3c2da0.jpeg) ![image](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/3X/6/b/6baa888472f2ef6548bb880c01b1da9adcd8a53f.jpeg) Then I transferred it with tape to the 3d print and traced it on. Used a dremel and files to cut it out ![image](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/3X/6/e/6eba2e42405a44c9766e86607571d37d00da190b.jpeg) ![image](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/3X/a/4/a42720aeeaefac27e3caff5c8ad52fb238dc8a95.jpeg) Final bondo ![image](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/3X/0/1/015bc98a9f82fb9db032fffb80e2bf49110e7907.jpeg) One thing I learned with the bondo is I THINK when it cures it gets hot enough to crack the plastic on the pack When sanding I’m finding all this little surface cracks. I then very thinly coated it and sanded it to fill the small surface cracks So if your going to use bondo apply it very very thin! ---

Great progress so far! There’s a lot that can be changed on these and I love seeing how people mod them. I was considering modifying my wand, but one of the BIGGEST problems with the wands on these spirit packs is at the joint between the handle and the main body, as indicated here (I used your picture :P): [![image](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/3X/e/1/e1de1f95e4b53c3e6b12761ef53ff97173ff787e.png)](https://i.postimg.cc/6pvG491C/joint.png) I wore my Spirit Halloween pack on Halloween last year and had my wand mounted on the side of my pack and a tree branch snagged it and SNAP, the wand snapped right at that joint. It wasn’t even a very hard yank on the wand, I was just walking along with my kids through the neighborhood. Taking it apart, I’m surprised I haven’t seen more people complain about this, because it’s held together by a pretty flimsy ridge of plastic that gets flexed literally every time the handle is used or any pressure is applied to the wand, really. So I would say, if you’re planning on modding this and keeping it long-term, that it may be worth finding ways to reinforce that point in particular or even consider replacing the entire wand if you’d rather go that route. Though I suppose, if it does break, you can just fix it then. Personally, after my wand broke and I realized how easily it can break, I went the route of replacing mine completely with [CountDeM0net’s Spirit Halloween scale version of DancinFool’s wand](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2591049), which also has a couple of remixes worth checking out. It’s WAY sturdier, has a ton more room for electronics, and is closer to the scale of the pack itself (the Spirit Halloween wand is at a smaller scale than the pack itself). ---

Dude thanks so much for the link!!! It’s so funny you mention this!! I was saying the same thing!! I was trying to figure out how to sturdy this up!! I’m seriously going to look into this thingiverse files! I like this better then the spirit!! Gotta find the source for the tube Will this still fit a 5yr olds hands though? I was honestly thinking of fiberglassing the inside together, but seeing how the bondo has cracked the plastic I fear it will eat it… Seriously looking into these files! ---

Yeah Nick, Doug makes this too easy!! I ended up getting her the magnet wand mount. She use to troop with a 2016 girls GB toy pack. It had this awkward clip hook mount thing… she couldn’t unhook it or re attach it (found a pic below) ![image](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/3X/7/1/71de8d061359ad03b24fd5403100f0b2e969b265.jpeg) Wait until she sees this… I’m going to record the whole thing, she had a legos ghostbusters Xmas this year and was screaming lol I’m making damn good progress, with the parts rolling in. It’s gonna be hard to hold this secret until Halloween!!! Again, this couldn’t have happened with our a place like this, such a friendly helpful community, and electronic geniuses like Doug and Jim, who share this parts with us ---
