My newly created Proton Pack kits

the material is kinda like Resin. It is much stronger than PLA.

I like the idea of putting watermarks on the shell to prevent being copied.

Will get back on price estimation. Thank you so much for your inputs.

I just worry that without any sort of watermarking or unique identifier that someone will try recasting and rip-off the work. The beauty of 3D printing is that these watermarks could be all over the place on the inside and in hidden areas to make it a lot harder to recast.

You might also want to reconsider those predrilled holes in the Hydrogen Gas Actuator so that builders have the choice on what style of pack to build. Alternatively, you could offer it as a configuration option I suppose.

While Stefan’s plans show the legris and clippard elbows in direct alignment, on the “Spengler” identified pack and also in the new Afterlife film they are misaligned.

The way the reflectors and light kit fits in is genius.. Having just gotten through most of it with my Anovos pack… I wish I had been able to purchase this kit instead.

This could be the “standard” pack for most people when it becomes available. You’ll still have people building accurate replicas, upgrading Spirit packs, etc.. but this is the one I think a lot of people would opt for if the price is right. It looks like a great platform to start with and upgrade as you want.

I agree this looks fantastic and was obviously engineered really well. I’d be happy to purchase the files to print myself or even if it’s offered as a kit, if the price is right I may consider it. Strong work

Having also built an Anovos pack, I’m strongly considering buying this kit to upgrade my kit. :slight_smile:

I have my boy, who is 45kg/99lb, standing on the shell without problem, however, I don’t know what would happen if he jumps on it. It could be a different story thou…

My laser cut aluminum MB just came in. A four inches hole in the center is pre-cut for my speaker. It looks pretty nice to me.

Un-drilled HGA could be an option as well.

Cheers,

I’m definitely interested in one of these. Can’t wait to see the price.

I’m watching too!

Also VERY interested! Excellent work!

Azuma! You aren’t by chance the Azuma who makes the AMAZING Indy shirts are you? I see an Indy bag peeking out in your last picture :slight_smile:

If so, I just ordered a shirt from you and can’t wait to receive it!

This is really one of the best 3D Printed version I’ve ever seen! I’m absolutely interested :slight_smile:

Hi Carl,

Yes, it’s the same Azuma :wink: Man, you have very good eyes~ That is actually a Disney issued Indy bag which is slightly different than the regular MK VII bag. It’s good to know there are other Indy fans here.

Best regards,

Azuma

Interested.

I would be interested in one of these kits! Great job, looks very thought out!

Looks like a kit that has been really thought out. Highly interested.

Any more news on this? I gather than you’re based in Taiwan which means that shipping something of this size and fragility is likely to be prohibitively expensive with a high risk of damage. That means that the stl licensing option is likely to be the most realistic route for Europeans. We would then need to source our own local manufacturer to actually print this out.

The exchange rate for US dollars is devaluing these days. Here is the current estimation on the price of the kits and shipping. I will post FS thread at CLASSIFIEDS when I sort everything out (like leadtime and other production details) and after becoming a Supporting Member.

Kits is US$775 including the following items and Paypal fee.

Shell

MB

Adaptors for GhostLab 42Pack Light Kits

Aluminum Holder for Ribbon Cable

Aluminum Spacers for Bumper and ALICE frame

Aluminum Tube for Vacuum Line

Beam Line Tube

Bellows with Removable Fake Slotted Screw Head for GB2 style

Blue Power Cell Lens

Booster Frame

Booster Plug

Booster Tube

Brackets

Bumper

Cyclotron Lens

Filler Tube

HGA

Injector Tubes

Ion Arm

Light Reflector Cups

PPD

Resistors for Ion Arm

Shipping is US$200 via EMS and packed in double box. I will ask TNT and UPS to see if they have better shipping rate.

Cheers,

Cost for the actual kit isn’t too bad, but the shipping and subsequent customs fees to the uk would take it to over £900 (approx $1180 usd). That’s a little out of my price range sadly when other kits can be picked up for around half that.

Have you completely ruled out selling the stl files?

Still in! Curious to see what UPS says.

Man, that shipping cost killed me.
