Egons Stethoscope

thingiverse

As requested by GB superfan Conor O'Hare, big thanks to him for this project, I'm excited to share my best attempt at recreating the extra pieces needed to make Egons's Stethoscope from the Library and "Ready to Believe you Scenes in GB1. What makes this a challenge is that the real prop has never resurfaced and what was used to make it is still unknown. This was recreated using zoomed in blurry screen grabs and off angle press photos as there is no great reference out there, so little of what there is. As such, please understand it's likely a little inaccurate. However, I did my best scale it to known items, making everything proportional, adjusting for film distortion and carefully recreating seam lines, screw holes, features and accents to the best of my ability. To make this, you'll need a stethoscope with hose barbs designed to work with a hose (on the stethoscope) with an ID of 4.5mm-5mm, and everything will look best with a hose that has an OD of approximately 7.5mm. However, nothing is set in stone, and you can recale this to fit your needs. Conor used Stethoscope for his build (shown in pictures) https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Single-Head-Stethoscope-Medical-EMT-for-Doctor-Nurse-Vet-Student-Adult-Black/143349255036. Please keep in mind that other readily available stethoscopes may be more accurate or a little different and work just fine, so don't feel like this is your only option. You'll also need Nova52 Realistic Fold-Ups headphones to be most accurate, however the Nova 51's and Nova 50's as well as the Infinity Intimate Stereo headphones will work nicely as well with these parts as they have a similar appearance. Big thanks go out to the Ghostbuster community especially Alex newborn for tracking down this information and making it known to the rest of us. This was designed with SLA printing in mind, I've even provided you STLs with supports and hollowed parts if you have one, as it will give you the cleanest result. FFM may work too but will require some difficult clean up. If money is no object to you, the best option is sintering in aluminum, especially the fragile ear pieces, this will give you the best structural integrity if you intend to wear these and not just display them (check out Shapeways for pricing). I've posted a Shapeways example in the photos to give you an idea of the cost you might see for different materials. Happy Printing! https://youtu.be/phuEkiHDfR8
