Hmm voltage divider not producing enough current. Going to try a voltage regulator instead. ---

Be carful with a regulator they can have voltage spikes I hear. Don’t wanna fry all that hard work. ---

Hoping a capacitor across the supply will sort that out mate. Thanks for the heads up tho! ---

Really struggling to find a uk source for a suitable replacement for the v hook. I have tried to find flush plates and dixie cup hooks but so far no success. Any advice? ---

no had much time on the pack recently, but here is the latst build. Quite happy with the [booster frame](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/proton-pack/booster-frame) (amazing what a couple of skewers/mdf and a stanley knife can do lol ![image](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/3X/4/f/4fbc3ae3725440730bcf0159a3ba767ae92a72d2.jpeg) ---

gettiong there, [bumper](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/proton-pack/bumper) now 1/2 done too 🙂 ![image](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/3X/2/3/2323bd2ab62a6877e6b306fbd0e2d0031fcb6798.jpeg) ---

Nice one! Don’t worry about the ‘uneven holes on the N-filter’ though…the original prop makers didn’t either 😉 the only criticism I have is the width of tube from the spacer to crank gen. I know you’re not going full on accurate but it looks maaaaaassssssive! Great job nonetheless and totally recognizable as a [proton pack](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/proton-pack). ---

Cheers dude, started off going for accuracy, but a mixture of UK sizing, cost of delivery from us, My ■■■■■■ DIY skills amongst others has made me move toward a it will do approach lol. It will be used for parties and fkn about and other than me no one will know that i am a half cm out here or there lol. ---

woohooo, voltage reg works a treat! and put the capacitors across the supply to cater for spikes. The only thing I have not done which I probably should is put in a diode to guarantee the direction of flow. so my electronics now are: 12V supply to feed: eventual sound board 9v regulator said 9v regulator to feed: [power cell](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/proton-pack/power-cell) [cyclotron](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/proton-pack/cyclotron) gun 5v regulator 5v regulator to feed PICAXE chip for firing lights and and gun bar. sorted! 🙂 ---

Sadly i am becoming disillusioned with my pack, starting to look very amature. Struggling for motivation to finish tbh. None the less hete is the current state. ![image](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/3X/d/1/d1d40703aec983fb6c5e1775e6cf3e312f52c8c4.jpeg) ![image](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/3X/4/0/40d901248e6b56b09877379f23fa733e7a68eddd.jpeg) ---

cheers guys, been having a ■■■■■■ time of it recently and was using build as a way of a distraction then when the build started looking dodgy thought i might jack it in, will soldier on tho, too close to stop now. 🙂 ---

Happy with it as a trial run Cheers again fellas (or lassies as the case may be) ---
