size of particle thrower

i’m going to try to build my first proton pack here over the summer, and for some reason i think i’m going to start with the particle thrower. now, my funds are limited, so would it be a crime if i made it out of cardboard and pvc pipes? help!

if you wanna nickel and dime it…go get yourself some MDF board at a hardware store - it’s not that pricey. Cardboard wont be very durable. Trust me, you will want to keep this thing for as long as possible.
