The frame you built is crazy good! The one I made for my Spirit Proton Pack way back when I first got it was just a bunch of elbows and straight pieces. I hope we get to see you make the Neutrino Wand!

Thank you so much for the plans, I am beyond excited! My six year old kid is a new Ghostbusters fan, so I’m going to print the designs at 75% and hopefully adjust the other dimensions as I go. I might even 3D print some of the smaller stuff like the little elbow bends to save some time. Thanks again!

Hi! I wonder if you had success with this plan?

This Alice pack frame is going to be the handiest pattern ever, I have a 1980s Real Ghostbusters proton pack and one of the new hollow cheap ones Hasbro made that i want to make frames for.

Awesome! Glad it is helpful!

While this is a very impressive build of an Alice Frame, i need to make a suggestion for those who cant build something like this. As a prop builder I wouldnt recommend making an Alice Frame when theyre relatively available online between $40-$50 dollars on Amazon, cheaper at an Army Surplus, and if your lucky, a couple of bucks at a thrift store. Doing the math on how much the matterials are, the time and production, i honestly recommend buying one.

Thank you so much for these tutorials. I made a proton pack following them. I e-mailed you photo’s of the result. Did you get them?

I'm starting tó make It tomorrow and It'll probably be ready for Halloween 2029.

When shaking a starfish, one should always shake gently.

PVC glue and rivet the frame together and it'd be great for a real backpack for hiking and weigh less than a metal frame.

will you ever make a neutron wand in the future?

out of curiosity how heavy is this version of the pack, reason being most packs are at minimum 15 pounds

I’m going to use your pattern but size it down. I’m only 5’2” and I made my proton pack smaller to fit me.

I wonder if this would be a good idea for upgrading the Spirit Halloween Proton Pack. Instead of buying an actual alice frame.

Anyone know how much it would cost for all the supplies? A rough estimate should do

This is definitely a cheaper alternative to an actual ALICE pack frame. Is it lighter to or about equal in weight to an actual pack frame? I only ask because I'm an older Ghosthead with knee and back problems so the lighter the better.

Would wearing a normal medical mask be enough if I’m heating the pvc outdoors? I don’t have a respirator

@LostWax

Жыл бұрын

A medical mask doesn't get rid of organic vapours, so it isn't going to do much as far as I know. That being said, if you heat the PVC slowly so it never gets close to burning, and you are outside with a bit of a breeze, you should be pretty safe, but of course that's up to you and do it at your own risk.

Wanted to say I'm finishing this up today and I couldn't find rivets the right size so I used screws and wing nuts.

If you hadn't been so fixated on using foam, the proton pack back-plate could have been 1/4" plywood, making attaching the pack frame much easier. I see the same thing with people who have bought a 3D printer. One guy was asking how he could 3D print a piece of 3" pipe. I told him, why spend 12 hours printing a piece of pipe that won't be waterproof anyway because of poor layer adhesion, when you can just go to the hardware store and buy it?!! 3D printers are for the impossible to find parts. BTW, awesome proton pack build!

@LostWax

Yep, you could totally use 1/4 ply. I just sometimes try to keep the supplies list as short as I can, so not having to buy a sheet of ply when you already have a roll of foam was kinda my thinking.
