Ghostbusters Spirit Halloween Ghost Trap Upgrades

thingiverse

Custom parts for the Spirit Halloween Ghost Trap. These parts will bring your trap more in line with the way they should appear, at least compared to the Sean Charlesworth/Charlesworth Dynamics/countspatula 3D Printed Trap, which was used as a baseline for these files. Vector plate must be printed with supports, as well as the right side knob plate. To install the right side knob plate, drill the existing knob out with a 1/2" bit, then slice it flat with a razor knife. The plate will snap into the hole. All you have to do from there is line it up parallel with the shell and drill the 4 holes for screws. Use 4-40 x 1/4" socket head cap screws. The rods snap right onto the existing pegs once you remove the old rods. Just pop them off with a pair of pliers. The front filler plate installs in place of the OEM molded switch block. It's holes are designed to use the 3D Printed trap's installation pins and knobs (provided here). Install the pins, then install the filler plate. The "Aluminum Plate" snaps on over the top, with the knobs installing over that. Just like the 3D printed trap, this secures with 2x 4-40 pan head screws, use 1/4" long ones in this case. The vector plate is designed to use the stock retaining screw hole for alignment. I realize some of you might want a vector plate without this hole, as the 4 corner screws will do the same job. Drop a comment if you want this version, and I'll throw it together. Update 9/4/2018 - Bearing axles added. These snap over the bosses for the old wheels, take M4 hardware, and mount up the bearing wheels with the same #10, 3/4" black flat-head, phillips drive screw that the 3D Printed Trap used. Update 9/8/2018 - Added new revision Front Aluminum Plate, as the old one was 1.5mm off and caused the plate to sit funny. Update 9/9/2018 - Updated Bearing Axle to R2 - Slight dimensional changes to better fit all traps due to manufacturing tolerances.
