As a huge Ghost-Head I’m completely blown away by this! The level of detail is absolutely amazing and the functionality is so fantastic that I don’t even know what to say! I’ve seen many different ghost traps built by fans who are serious cosplayers but I’ve never seen a trap look exactly like the props used in the films that has all of the working bells and whistles! You have gone above and beyond what any Ghostbusters fan would ever want out of a working ghost trap! I might even bite the bullet and buy a high end 3D printer just so I can download the files needed in order to build my very own ghost trap! The 6 year old in me who saw Ghostbusters in theaters is crying out for me to make one of these for my collection! Thank you so much for sharing this video and I look forward to seeing the in-depth explanatory video on the mechanics of these ghost traps! Again, excellent job!👏🏻
Unbelievable job. I cant even imagine the effort and skill needed to start with nothing, but a 3-D printer and the internet, and end up with a virtually movie perfect, working "ghost trap". Sean is a master craftsman for the 21st century.
If this could become at least a kit that people could buy and assemble themselves I would be all over it. I mostly say this as I don't have nor can afford a 3D printer right now.
With the wheels on the Trap and the cable connecting it to the foot pedal this kind of reminded me my first RC Car which was tethered - Argh. Going forward with that thought I came up with the idea of repurposing a 1/16 Scale RC Tank Model into a modernized and remote controllable Trap. The tracked chassis allows you to have it go over somewhat rough terrain and the turret, combined with a pitch function, could act as a sentry turret pointed into the general direction of the target =)
For the Electronics components, they are relay easy to find, i.e. the resistor is a standard type witch is widely used. Maybe ask an Electronic engineer they know where u can find such stuff.
+TecKonstantint I forgot to add the Links: These Power Resistors are quite common used in electronics, they are also used in Aerospace and all different kind of Equipment, i used them my self in some designs. I have some Links for you where u can find such Resistors, maybe you have to us a different kind but as far i can see the RCD 600 series Seems to fit quit good but u can look it up in the technical drawings. They are not cheap but that is normal for those aluminium resistors. www.farnell.com/datasheets/168901.pdf www.newark.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Search?catalogId=15003&langId=-1&storeId=10194&categoryName=All%20Categories&selectedCategoryId=&gs=true&st=RCD%20600 Probably you can buy them from other distributors. Have fun with that info if u need any more just ask, im glad to help Tec
just a minor tweak suggestion for your portable spectral containment trap...just before the trap closes, the smoke generated needs to be "inhaled" slightly via a small vacuum ... probably more for esthetics than anything since the effect would in most cases be too subtle to notice unless actually present while in use but it would be nice...
I can't help but to think that it would have been a lot easier and more reliable to make the foot pedal control the trap by having a simple bladder-type air pump under the pedal sending compressed air through the hose to a piston operated switch in the trap. The air hose would have been actually used for what it was built for.
Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. seems like it would be a lot simpler than running wire through the hose. +mtxrules there are switches that are actually designed to be activated by small changes in air pressure. They are often used to ensure a high degree of insulation/separation between an electrical device and the person operating it....Something you might want in an actual ghost trap.
just an idea, but for the sound, try upping the speaker to a small sub-woofer , would make the thunder less tiny, and although nothing crazy would add a touch more charm. Love the build!
You could use a pressure switch in the main unit to trigger the action this way you are still using the air hose but you will have to put a bellows in the foot pedal.
Looks great! quite fantastic! ...but I really expected a blast of air when the trap opened? More Kinetics? I deeply expected a couple of cheezy paper streamers of the appropriate colours to come shooting up. :-) Then reverse the fans to suck the streamers back in just before the trap closes for ultimate style. That would really show off the smoke system too, by making the whole surrounding air part of the effect. If you have internal space issues, (it's clearly cramped in there.) maybe try an Electro-ducted fan. (EDF. Tiny jet engine RC system that you can drive with an ESC from the Arduino. They move amazing amounts of air for their size on a couple of volts, if you have the amps to drive them. :-) Beautiful work!
Just a thought, use a pneumatic micro switch. The bellows under the foot pedal could displace air through the hose to activate the micro switch, which would be in the trap unit. That would be easier than converting the air fittings.
+Scott M (Scotty2307) Not reliable, but it is just a show piece. By pnematic micro switch, i assume you mean a piston allowed to hit a microswitch? HOWEVER, if they did go that route, they could of taken advantage of the negative pressure to suck back up the smoke.
+Richard Smith Hello Richard. Thanks for the reply, but that is not quite what I am talking about. These air operated switches, micro, or larger, have been used in many industries, for decades, and are proven reliable. They come in many styles, and some can be wired normally open, or normally closed, depending on the users requirements. Here is one of many I found at Granger Supply; search 1AGP7 on Google, and the Granger link will be the first one. There are less expensive ones at sites like Aliexpress.
That's what i meant. Things to do in the future. Go to Space and Mars Print a shitload of stuff in a 3D printer Fuck over my enemies Guess i'll go go to the corner and cry because that aint going to be possible.
Thats really awesome! I would love to figure out a way to make one that smokes when the doors are closed like in the movie! so you can carry it around and make up price quotes on how much its gonna cost for your services while the smoke wafts everywhere lol
The sub atomic particules of the Ghost pokémon would be to much to handle in a trandsdimational scale, because of the origin on a completly different Universe with a different evulotionary scale of Cartoon. So, no.
+Brian B. Seems that they're relying on the team of specialists to round out the content. Instead of Will and Norm go to CES, Maker Fair or whatever VR demo. Definitely a lot more diversity. Keep it coming!
That is truly awesome. Since the Foster connectors are meant to carry air, couldn't you have made the whole thing pneumatically activated? I'm thinking, put a bellows in the pedal, put some kind of diaphragm in the trap. The diaphragm would activate a small momentary switch like a PC reset button, that would activate the electronics in the trap. Also, does the ghost cartridge come out?
Awesome job! It's too bad Sean wasn't building this now, there are a few how-tos from the Halloween home haunter community showing how to mod vapes for mini fog machines now.
I'd be really interested in seeing more info about the use of e-cigarettes to generate the smoke. Maybe a larger write up on Tested with some schematics?
Another solution for the hose issue is to just use the hose connectors as intended and have a air operated switch in the trap and use the bellows in the foot pedal to trigger it.
Looks great guys. Just wondering, was Air Pressure (switch/sensor in trap) not an option for some reason? no wires or wireless system required to communicate between foot switch unit and trap unit.
+Steven Allen I'm not sure, but they might be doing or planning for more than just a simple switch. For that 2 wire data link like I2C allows for more flexibility.
+Ari Takalo Looking at the in-depth video it's just a simple switch. +Sebbl3 The hose itself is already air-tight; the only place where you need to worry about it leaking out is the peddle side. Air-pressure switches are often used to ensure a high degree of insulation/separation between an electrical device and the person operating it....Something you might want in an actual ghost trap.
This is absolutely amazing I feel such a pedant to point out isn’t it missing the button on the handle to release the containment unit into the main container back at the fire station?

Would love to see Hasbro Pulse take their cue and makes a screen accurate trap to go with the Spengler wand and Proton Pack.
If they did this I would definitely back the proton pack 💯💯
You know it’s coming.
I can defiantly see a trap and goggles coming after the pack.
It's a no brainer considering how much backing the proton pack got and how well it sells next year. I expect an announcement by this Christmas
Yea

This has to be one of the coolest builds I've ever seen on Tested. Bravo, Sean!! Can't wait for the even more in-depth build videos!
I looked at the trap Ray!
*THANK YOU VERY MUCH*
*FOR NOT SAYING A SINGLE WORD*

@Believe in Frost
please be joking
So proud whenever I see GBFans get a mention anywhere. Nerding out here.
Unbelievable job. I cant even imagine the effort and skill needed to start with nothing, but a 3-D printer and the internet, and end up with a virtually movie perfect, working "ghost trap".
Sean is a master craftsman for the 21st century.
I'm glad you make all these projects we can all duplicate and use in our every day lives.
I've never been a fan of Ghostbusters gear but your trap is so AWESOME and BADASS
doesn't it need more smoke after its closed? they always walk out holding a smoking trap
wow! this is far better than the matty trap IMO, alot more accurate, and it smokes! great job, well done
I love this as a kid when Ghostbusters 1 came out, what a nostalgic thing!
That trap looks really great! Definitely something I want to look at getting made.
Nice. A Ghostbuster Box Mod. Cool use of vaping technology in this replica.
Great job man! Very nice prop! Congratulations!!!
aweswome, even the touch with the fake welding on the base, is an awesome piece, fully geeked out haha
Wow, this looks so awesome!
It would be cool if the trap doors opened in the standard version, at least with a little tab!
That's really cool… a pretty impressive feat of engineering! Good job, Sean!
This is THE best 3D printed project I've seen. Gave me a great idea for a painting too, thanks! :D
THIS IS AWESOME!!!
Way to go Sean! That is absolutely insane.
great job sean!! love the bloopers too.
Great work Sean !!!
Amazing work, guys! I love this trap so much!
That's Sick
If this could become at least a kit that people could buy and assemble themselves I would be all over it.
I mostly say this as I don't have nor can afford a 3D printer right now.
The trap has always been my favourite prop in Ghostbusters.... I might actually build this.
Ghostbusters is probably something I would steer clear of at the moment.
With the wheels on the Trap and the cable connecting it to the foot pedal this kind of reminded me my first RC Car which was tethered - Argh.
Going forward with that thought I came up with the idea of repurposing a 1/16 Scale RC Tank Model into a modernized and remote controllable Trap.

FANTASTIC
I'm convinced. Stuff like this will get my monies for a premium subscription. I NEED to build this lol. Thanks, Tested!
Nice craftsmanship!
Wow, this looks amazing. I want to make one for Halloween
good to see Sean again. the 3d designing is always amazing 👍👍
I’m absolutely in love with this thing I absolutely want one!!!
this thing is awesome!
seriously so good. so good
Still better than the new Ghostbusters trailer.
+Matthew Livingston at least 393,134 people agree with you according to that video
(Based on the time of your comment I mean the 2016 one, not afterlife)
That is super awesome!
Man, this is fantastic! Looking forward to the in-depth video.
A job well done.
Love the blooper reel at the end. Nice work on the trap, guys.
I used Stefan's plans for my stuff. They are really great.
0/10 Doesn't look like a neon green bear trap.
lol

Probably you can buy them from other distributors.
Have fun with that info if u need any more just ask, im glad to help

Super awesome!

Nice work!

still would have had to have way to turn on the electronics in the trap. that's why he decided to run the wire through the hose.
Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. seems like it would be a lot simpler than running wire through the hose.

This is awesome! Good job.
Now this is my kinda prop.
Looking forward to the plans being shared!
Yet again Vaping saves the world :) Nice build!
Amazing job
Home run on that project !
just an idea, but for the sound, try upping the speaker to a small sub-woofer , would make the thunder less tiny, and although nothing crazy would add a touch more charm. Love the build!
That is pretty cool
its a ghostbuster 2 shaped trap with 1 handle and it sticking out like one with red tubes its a perfect hybrid !
You could use a pressure switch in the main unit to trigger the action this way you are still using the air hose but you will have to put a bellows in the foot pedal.
Very cool!
That relay looks pretty easy to procure, I have seen them in larger refrigerators and HVAC stuff.
That is awesome.
Love it! So cool 😎
Looks great! quite fantastic!

Great job Sean, I was wondering what you had been up to, I see you have been busy !
Now I really, really want a 3D printer... Awesome job!
Think of this. in a few decades, kids can probably just print action figures like i would print images to paint. :)
+Afonso Lucas probably less that a few decades.. maybe one or two tops.
That's what i meant.
Things to do in the future.
Go to Space and Mars
Print a shitload of stuff in a 3D printer
Fuck over my enemies
Guess i'll go go to the corner and cry because that aint going to be possible.
90000% better then the CRAP new one.
true
More one day builds please !!!
Thats really awesome! I would love to figure out a way to make one that smokes when the doors are closed like in the movie! so you can carry it around and make up price quotes on how much its gonna cost for your services while the smoke wafts everywhere lol
So awesome!!!! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Do you sell finished ones? Just beautiful.
Great video 👍
Can this catch ghost type Pokemon?
The sub atomic particules of the Ghost pokémon would be to much to handle in a trandsdimational scale, because of the origin on a completly different Universe with a different evulotionary scale of Cartoon. So, no.
+StoreBrand | Bernie2016 the blinking red light &beeping reminded me of a pokeball wobble that happens immediately after catching a pokemon.
Such amazing work! The bloopers had me laughing too.
Norm has been cranking out a crazy variety of videos ever since Will left. It was like Will was holding the creativity of Norm back.. lol
+Brian B. Seems that they're relying on the team of specialists to round out the content. Instead of Will and Norm go to CES, Maker Fair or whatever VR demo. Definitely a lot more diversity. Keep it coming!

I'd be really interested in seeing more info about the use of e-cigarettes to generate the smoke. Maybe a larger write up on Tested with some schematics?
When I die I wanna be put in one of these like an urn
Wowwww thats so cool. And it beeps at you after for quite some time.
Not sure if you'll see this, but this is awesome!!! How much does the trap itself weigh? Going to start printing soon.
Wow what a great job guys !
I wonder if it's possible to add a mild vacuum to suck the smoke back in as it closes !!!👻👻👻
oh my God that is super cool. now we can get the proton packs that would be awesome. I ain't afraid of no ghost.
A proton pack seems kind of hard. You're carrying around a pocket sized nuclear reactor.
+Carum Sarene Unlicensed nuclear accelerator actually.
+James Douglas Thanks for the correction :)
Another solution for the hose issue is to just use the hose connectors as intended and have a air operated switch in the trap and use the bellows in the foot pedal to trigger it.
EPIC!!!!!!!!
Awesome.
I must make one for Halloween.
Dremel makes all the cewl stuff now.
Just curious why you didn't make the pedal a bellows and put a microswitch at the trap end of the hose connector?
Looks great guys.
Just wondering, was Air Pressure (switch/sensor in trap) not an option for some reason? no wires or wireless system required to communicate between foot switch unit and trap unit.
+Steven Allen I'd think using air pressure is much more difficult than using two wires and a switch.
Not really. Using air pressure you just put the switch in the trap instead of the foot pedal. It's a different switch triggered by air of course.
Every jacuzzi tub has such a switch so you don't get electrocuted. The button uses air pressure to throw the switch remotely
+Steven Allen I'm not sure, but they might be doing or planning for more than just a simple switch. For that 2 wire data link like I2C allows for more flexibility.
+Ari Takalo Looking at the in-depth video it's just a simple switch.
+Sebbl3 The hose itself is already air-tight; the only place where you need to worry about it leaking out is the peddle side.
Air-pressure switches are often used to ensure a high degree of insulation/separation between an electrical device and the person operating it....Something you might want in an actual ghost trap.
Insane
that's cool! but how does the opening mechanism work?
This is absolutely amazing I feel such a pedant to point out isn’t it missing the button on the handle to release the containment unit into the main container back at the fire station?
