![image](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/3X/7/5/75d0b0efd00848de5d9707956ef3da0ef6ccf71a.jpeg) I have not been too active lately since I transitioned recently from being a Stay-At-Home daddy to becoming a Adult-Who-Has-A-Job. But that does not mean I haven’t been thinking about things! For a long time I have wanted to make a resin kit of parts for SC packs But, to do it I needed to be in build mode actually building a pack. Then I was commissioned to build two SC packs at the same time! So as this will be a perfect opportunity to work out how my kit will work and use it to build these two packs. These packs will be pretty standard to the SC packs I have built in the past and now currently wear myself - ![image](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/3X/c/c/ccb63102a017e953bcb7763b7c1d110cf4386e70.jpeg) The guys have Matty wands so I will be using GBfans pack lights and Spongefaces boards and 3D printed couplers. Hardware and hoses comes from my friend and ebay seller **\*\*order\_thru\_the\_phoenix \*\***. More to come! ---

So the first part of the kit is almost done, The [Booster Tube](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/proton-pack/booster-tube) and that fakakta angle you have to cut. I have been thinking of how to make this part easier for builders. Here is what I came up with. If it works (and I think it will) then you will only have to cut a 6 1/2" tube with straight cuts to make this part. ![image](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/3X/c/2/c2d894c3c3f07787efdd23ef663e8721942f036e.jpeg) ![image](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/3X/5/d/5d1cf7657ea46c1b4a6537c99b2276bb6757ff3b.jpeg) ![image](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/3X/6/2/62844f93e8dc98ec58b4d44defa0e680a834843f.jpeg) ![image](http://i.imgur.com/YgXaN2Z.jpg?1) ![image](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/3X/4/9/49a84f6f728931bf36a3db37feb6f35f53c3c464.jpeg) More to come! ---

Yep. I’ll cast the bottom and the plug in resin, then the builder just has to glue or epoxy the parts together, maybe a little sanding and DONE! My goal is to make a minimal kit that a beginner could afford and easily assemble. My target price is the same as what the shell costs ($85) I hope to be able to include a [bumper](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/proton-pack/bumper) in that price, but the reality of how much it’s going to cost to cast the bumper I made to fit the SC shell might not let that happen. We’ll see. For now I’m trying to get this going so I can use the kits on these two builds. ---

That’s a great idea, if you manage to get the kit off the ground consider this a pre order. ---

This is a great idea! I like what [booster tube](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/proton-pack/booster-tube) angle piece. With 3D printers being more common, I’d love to see a a proper sized [bumper](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/proton-pack/bumper) for the SC shell. ---

Nice! I just figured 3D was an easy medium if you hadn’t already scratch built it. I was talking to a member last night and if these resin part kits do happen, I think we would be in for 3. Especially if you do cast that nice [bumper](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/proton-pack/bumper). ---

I want to get the kit fleshed out first. Do you have a time frame for when you’ll start to sell parts? I still need to make an [N-Filter](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/proton-pack/n-filter) for my SC build, but waiting for your resin parts is more tempting. Your parts look great, but I must weight in my deadline (June 24th) for my entire pack to be complete. Have a few cons before that, but I want to make sure my pack is as good as possible 🙂 ---

Probably in the fall. I have to complete my commission first before I start casting kits. ---
