The purpose of this thread is to highlight important or useful threads that have been posted in the [Proton Pack](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/proton-pack) section as well as examples of builds using a variety of materials. The threads have been grouped based on the general parts used but are otherwise in no particular order or importance. This is by no means a complete list. If there is a thread that you think should be added to this list, post a link and a mod will add it if appropriate. We will clean up the thread as a whole when needed. Some items in the listing may be repeated. This is not a mistake - some items fall into two or more categories, and have been placed under multiple headings so they’re easier to find. If you find that a thread listed below has missing pictures or for any other reason is no longer valid please let us know. Thanks to Some\_Guy and ProtonCharger for helping to aggregate some of the initial list. **Pack Builds** **Fiberglass Shells** [janderson0719’s Build: bigi71 shell, GB1 pack JPA/Franchesky

Thanks Doud for including my PDS Pack. I hope others find it useful! This is such a great idea and I’m going to find this thread very helpful soon. If it helps you any I used R2Devo lights and Jupiter Electronic lights. I was actually planning on making some upgraded modifications to this [proton pack](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/proton-pack) in the near future. I was wondering if necro-bumping the thread should be an option, or if I should start a new thread all together. The upgrades would mostly revolve around a slime [booster tube](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/proton-pack/booster-tube) upgrade and changes to the gun. I don’t mind starting a new thread, but I do like the thought of keeping everything in one thread. You’re call. 🆒 ---

It would be great to have a section that’s all the templates people have created. I linked to a 3" [N-filter](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/proton-pack/n-filter) hole template I made when I was building my N-filter, and it was pretty popular. It’s just kind of buried in my thread. I also made a list of McMaster-Carr links for lots of pvc/plastic tubing that is the correct size, if anyone finds that useful. Kind of the plastic version of Vincenzo’s metal parts shopping list.
