Norman Chan and Tested’s Sean Charlesworth partnered up to design and 3D print this contraption, which is based on reference materials from the Ghostbusters and Ghostbusters II movies. A pedal that looks like the kind used with an electric guitar is used to activate the trap’s doors, sounds, and lights. In a video, Charlesworth explained that he wanted a trap that was “self-contained, repeatable, and easy to use,” and the final trap’s parts were mostly printed by a Dremel 3D printer.
As you can tell by watching the below video, the source components for the trap are taken directly from the original movie and are discussed at length on the preeminent Ghostbusters fan website: GBfans.com. These parts include a resister, vector plate, relay, skirted knobs, lens shades, toggle switches… and more that are all 3D printed. In fact, there are so many parts to the trap that Charlesworth reports he spent a whole week simply researching them. GBfans.com makes some of these original parts immediately available for purchase. But, of course, the idea here is that you can 3D print them — making them yourself for the sheer fun of it all.
