3D Printable Ecto Capsule Ends and Fittings for 4-inch PVC
🕑 Added 2023-04-21 20:30:54 +0000 UTCHi all!
I know I have been quiet recently - a number of professional priorities have kept me busy and away from the Ghostbusters game more than I would like in recent weeks. After I get home from my current international trip (London!), I'll be able to refocus on some of GB projects I had planned out earlier this year.
To tide you over, a number of people have inquired about my custom Ecto roof rack over the years - it's a mix of found parts PVC, luggage carrier, and old re-painted coolers (among other found parts). As part of the design, I had created some 3D printable fittings and end-caps so I could make various tanks and capsules (like these yellow ones!)
This post includes the 3D printable capsule ends and tank fitting I used with 4-inch PVC. A little bondo, gap filling, sanding, and paint and - viola! - you have a nice compressed air tank that can suit a custom Ecto rack or other piece of gear. I find myself returning to these parts every now and again to dress up a prop or Halloween set. The 'brass' fitting is designed to screw right into the capsule end that has an open port.
More to come!
