Hey guys,

A decade ago - sigh! - I payed a dear price to get my hand on a fiberglass shell for my pack. Ten years later, with two kids and two 3D printers, well I can safely say that despites all the troubles I had to get my shell back then, well I’ve never used it. It just sits in a corner of my shop, as it is.

Now we have solid 3D printers, I’m an experienced modeler and I’ve just completed my Hellbent [proton pack](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/proton-pack) design, the one I’ve wanted to create all that time. So I can safely say I’ll never use that shell. It would come with a [Ion arm](https://www.gbfans.com/shop/aluminum-welded-ion-arm) and a [bumper](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/proton-pack/bumper). All brand new pieces, still in their carboards boxes. And I could do with some extra cash.

So my questions woud be : Could those be sold again? Are people still build packs with fiberglass shells ?

Thanks in advance,

Cheers !

Yep, plenty of folk still using them. If you wanted to sell it via the forum you’d need to buy a supporting membership first though.

It’s not much about selling it, more like testing the water. I bougth the shell years ago and I can consider myself a noob again.
