Ideas for a very cheap, quick, and easy DIY proton pack for a friend

Just would like ideas for making a easy and cheap diy proton pack. I dont think I’d be able to get lights in it or any kits, or use the 80% scale proton pack from spirit as a base for that matter lol

It’d help if you gave a budget, but I’m gonna assume it’s somewhere between a nickel and $100. If you have access to a 3D printer, you can print a thrower for the cost of a spool of filament. If not, cardboard across the board.

Cheap but not quick: Cardboard or foam Core. Not really that quick. Lots of measuring, cutting, gluing, filling and painting. But doable if you’re trying to knock this out by October. You’ll need some purchased parts or will have to use junk.

Cheap(ish) and somewhat quick: Q pack files and a 3D printer. You’ll need tubing, connectors, and other purchased parts

Expensive and Quick: Hasbro pack, scalper priced Spengler or 84 thrower of eBay.

Very Expensive and slow: Shell and parts.
