Adam Savage's Ghostbusters Proton Pack Mod Gets Replicated!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 10 фев 2025
- When Adam built his custom Ghostbusters Proton Pack, he designed and scratch-built a unit to mount on straps to add some extra lights to the front of the pack. Imagine his surprise when he found that a fan had replicated this made-up "attenuator" device and added their own electronics controls! Adam purchased this replica and could not be more excited to compare it to his original build. Well done Shapeforge Props!

And now the maker is swamped with orders. It is so much fun to watch Adam be excited for us.
Hands down, the coolest thing I've seen all day. It's only ten past one in the morning where I am, but it's a fine start to said day 😆😉✌️
Adam is a true gentleman. As an infrequent member of the RPF, I have seen SO many people cry foul over the years when someone copied their work. It's the height of gatekeeping, especially when most of the time, their work is a copy of someone ELSE's work. Adam made a thing from scratch, and when someone liked it enough to make copies of it .... for profit .... I might add, did he cry foul? No, he celebrated it. That's what fandom should be about.
I am Shapeforge props and I completely agree. I was very worried about copying Adams work. I didn't know the best way to try and contact him so I took a risk.
It's so great to see him happy about this replication of something he created from scratch. He finds it flattering that someone was inspired by his work.
@@ArcticFox63 Congrats on the great work. If I was a rabid enough GB fan to have a proton pack, you'd already have my cash 😉
@@ArcticFox63 For 287,24$ and the lack of good detail it's way overpriced. It's basically a completely different product and not worthy to be called a replica.
@@themechanik8767 Disagree wholeheartedly.
one of the best things about this channel is when Adam goes gaga over another maker's work. That is true respect for the creativity and workmenship of others.
This right here. Adam is inspiration and an example of how to react and be as a fellow maker.
@@TimGray +it,s ahuge springboard for other propmakers on RPF as well
Thank you Adam for loving that someone copied your prop & not getting mad. Warms my heart ♥️
This just goes to show how much a influence you have on us fans. As how much we love Ghostbusters this is amazing.
Mega mega props and respect to the person who made that because those little things like the battery door that holds the battery, the magnetic wire, and just the overall ease of the directions and use deserves a Standing Ovation 👏 👏 WELL DONE
Oh yeah and I love the proton pack as well. Thank you for sharing, everyone keep yourselves and love ones safe and healthy and remember to SMILE 😊😊
It's great that Adam loves this. ❤
I absolutely love that adam is estatic over someone else who copied his design and now they are making money on it. True class.
Ok, now I need to redo the lighting on that I am totally digging the bar graph Shapeforge Props made here. The fandom, inspired fandom is about to make fan-fan-fandom props. Once I have something sussed out Ill send a new lighting kit to you Adam.
After watching your original video on adding the Attenuator to your Proton Pack, I knew that I wanted one on my scratch-built pack (made from Foamcore, Worbla and 3D printed parts). Scavenging parts from an old model train controller (got it for the control knob to go onto the pack), and old portable radio and a few other bits, I bent a frame from alluminum to house all the electronics. I also re-routed the main Power and Volume controls onto the device, so that I am able to switch the power on and adjust the volume from it (plus added some EL Wire to the pack, so there was a switch for that too). Even added a Voltage gauge to keep an eye on my battery life!
I love how the Ghostbusters community is so open and will grab and run with any cool ideas that other fans think of!
I know that lovely feeling you're talking about, over the past couple of years I've created & given away a pile of 3D print designs to hold radio receivers & antenna on drones in secure ways nobody has thought about before, but now thousands use.
Seeing photos of prints of my designs on people's drones and the few times my designs have been remixed is such a joy.
Fandom-ception. Adam is a fan of the fandom of his fandom. 🎉
Adam Savage is great! Like other commenters I appreciate how AS responds not angry about being copied, but celebrating it. If anyone else makes an actuator, (not a builder myself - so I'm just giving notes) I think this should make noise, a button that has a soft siren and alarm. I think it would be a fun add on. Also, this needs an instruction sheet which shows how the attenuator works in process of catching ghosts. Keep up the great videos AS!
I was lucky enough to get in on a run of these last year, and it truly is a thing of beauty.
Wow, This is by far one of my favorite videos from your channel, and it's because of your reaction to the replica, you were truly honored by it,that alone makes the video even more worthy,really appreciate how humble and kind you are,I'll be waiting for that proton pack build for this paricular atenuator,Greetings from Mexico,
P.S. I'm posting this same message on twitter don't freak out LOL
I really dig the segment display functionality. Dude saw it, toiled at it, and made it his own creation. Fan of a fan of a fan.
bought one of these attenuators from Martin last year. He did an awesome job replicating the prop you invented Adam :)
A fan happy that another fan is enjoying their fandom. This is how we all should be.
Dude nailed it so well. A little different, made it his own, but nailed it. Awesome work, and awesome celebration from Adam.
You know you did right when fan replicates your prop!!! Seal of approval
The attenuator is probably my favorite addition to my GB cosplay. Hands down one of my favorite props! ShapeforgeProps makes EXCELLENT items! Get one while you can, worth every penny!!!
That radioactive sign light is fantastic
Wait til you see the functionality of the gpstar attenuator, Adam.
The storage units Adam must have for all his “stuff” 😂😂
After a lot of work and weeding, he just has one now! Progress!
@@tested "one"... THAT HE LETS YOU KNOW ABOUT~ DUN Dun dunnn! (lol)
@@tested - I notice you don't mention the SIZE, though.
I "only" have 3 sheds in my backyard. Of course, one is over 3 times the size of the other two ;-)
@@tested One that looks like the warehouse at the end of Raiders.
I just got mine in the mail yesterday and I heard that you ordered a few more!!
It is indeed, like a big hug around the world. The more we share, the deeper the hug.
That idea is brilliant because Having lights in front makes all the difference in the world 🌎 when you stand up with other cosplayers… you shine
Both versions are pretty cool, but I honestly like Adam's bar graph display better as it harkens to the original "tech" of the franchise. I also like his "radio-active symbol" light cover a little better, as it has that lettering detail missing from the replica. All in all, a clever replica, and impressive how close to the original they got it.
I wonder why the critics were so hard on Ghost Busters After Life? I really liked the movie.
I loved it as well! Bawled my dang eyes out multiple times lol. Loved the younger actors and Paul Rudd!! 😍
because they're critics.
It was a bit weak on plot.
Not everyone enjoys a movie where the main characters are children.
It did manage to deliver on a few emotional moments in the film and paid due respect to the source material, but as a film on its own, it was a bit lacking.
It should be a very easy film to make but no director wants to "repeat" something already done. Even their own work. So, they try to make it "different" "new" "fresh" etc., otherwise they're just copying.
A difficult balance to achieve. Make something that is as popular and successful as something that came before without copying what came before.
We did too! The crew watched it together at New York Comic Con, and we CRIED.
It was blatant pandering with no substance
This is the most wholesame thing Ive seen all day 😊
The one thing that stands out to me is the colour-change function of the graph-light on Adam's. But I like the "dial-a-mode" function on Shapeforge's. Someone needs to do a hybrid of the two and it would be perfection....
.....and I still wouldn't be able to afford one. hehehe But I do think this would look pretty cool on the dash of my car.
You could get an arduino and an Adafruit Neopixel strip relatively cheaply.
literally have been working on my proton pack for a year and I feel like progress is so slow.
but I will try to replicate this with styrene cuz it looks so sick!
Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery👯♀️..and made under licence💲
" never slime a man with a positron collider!"
"I'm going to have to build another Proton Pack for this Attenuator"
"Hahaha, that's funny Adam"
[2 years later (in Spongebob narrator voice)]
"In today's Show and Tell, the Proton Pack I built for the Etsy Attenuator"
I wish I could obtain the same happiness that has you looking almost unhinged in your thumbnail 😂
Amazing what the community can do
That is really cool.
Adam is HUGELY nice. Personally, I would have at least contacted him and said "Would you be OK if I made and sold these?" It's just basic politeness.
Dont say its a meaningless word, I'm one of the members who came up with the now standard names for the pack parts 😂
If you want to build another pack, i got the best throwers in the biz
100% needs to be in the next Ghostbusters movie.
I may or may not have ordered one of these for a custom piece of kit myself Based on a realized version of the hip mounted proton pack from extreme ghostbusters with my own adaptations of course
Humans create machines, machines help people. I liked and watched the whole video.
I hope they include this as a new accessory for the packs in the upcoming Ghostbusters "Firehouse" sequel. They don't have to make a big deal about it, but have it appear on screen at some point.
I bought one from the guy months ago just because you did one. I modified mine a bit to turn off and on my haslab pack
Where is the video showing your finished Proton Pack? I saw the video of you and the crew from Afterlife building it, but I never found the video of the final result, I would LOVE to see it! Maybe I am overlooking it or something.
Great work. ☘
ADAM!! when are we getting the hasbro pack major mod?
This is Martin Bryce getting knighted by the king of prop building
It looks very good, it has a resemblance to the one that Dr Spengler built in the temple of Gozer in Summerville to retain it.
You love to see it.
Nice video sir you are awesome Adam sir
Adam, I hope you live forever. But in case you don't, I really really hope your will specifies that all of your props and costumes are auctioned off for a good cause. Or at least that this proton pack goes to me :)
there was a Chicago branch (Windy City Ghostbusters) at the fan expo convention. they had a GB trivia game going on but the contestant had to reach into a bucket of slime! but hours before they were walking around asking trivia. i got a Windy City Ghostbusters pin (no slime contact was required)
Is the back of the backpack the front to your back of the backpack, or is the back to the front of your back relative to your backpack?
my god, Adam made my head hurt 30 seconds into a video 🤣🤣🤣
Hey Adam, did the Etsy seller know that they were selling it to you? That is such a cool piece!
you should add the sounds of the videogame proton pack with some liveries for example changing the overventilated sound from the videogame to another sound but keep it the majority intact
It'd be nice to get names/links for the particular "pilot dashboard light(s)" you got, and/or other fun parts...
That’s really great
That is sick
How much do i need to pay Mr. Savage to build a 1:1 Proton pack from the video game, with the other 3 functions and lighting and a soundboard. I don’t think enough money in the world would cover that amount of awesome.
Adam jokes about making another pack just for the new piece but really...not too deep down... he's not joking at all.
It's not an 'if' but a 'when'
Looks really cool.. like a Kill switch
Only thing I hope is that the maker credited Adam in some way
I did. I made sure to explain exactly where the concept came from.
@Martin Bryce well done sir
After starting to watch Adam and the Tested team, I am left wondering if today's Movie costume and prop designers/ makers make a conscious effort to make /design costumes and props not only to look great in the movie but also make / look great for display or cosplay.
Awesome
I see Adam must have just gotten back from Apex if it's a *_Ghostbusters_* build! 😅😂❤
They need to make this canon and have it in the new movie.
I like the graph on the other one more than you're but your vintage cockpit light is a 1000 times better. If I was you I'd swap out the graph in yours for them other one.
Now you gotta make a stand for it
Fandom attenuation!
Will we see the teardown when Adam goes in to repair the dead LED?
Nice item though
👍
saw that too
Tested should do a CT scan of Adam's clapper board to see if they can read all of the individual projects on the masking tape.
did he ever post the measurement photos?
Cool.
That mod looks a little Adam West era Batman to me.
I like your Radioactive light better than theirs.
I am Shapeforge and guy who copied the attenuator. I tried to use things that I could easily get hold of. Adam has a lot of vintage and one of a kind stuff he collected over the years.
@@ArcticFox63 Outstanding work bud 😍🤩🤯🙌👍👏🤝
Adam inspired me to also build my own actuator. Mine adds the function of a "wake up" button to the front strap, so I can restart the pack when it goes into sleep mode. The Shapeforge props actuator is really a thing of beauty and I would have ordered one if I had seen it sooner. I love the multiple light effects!
ruclips.net/video/k9K7mFymvjE/видео.html
perhaps if you turned the battery end for end the wires wouldn't get in the way when you close it
I can't find that radiation light anywhere! I even tried taking a screenshot of it and using Google lens but that didn't help.
this is soo good, who's readfy for when this for getting the ghostbudters into smsashie bros
Anyone have a lead on the radioactive bulbs?
Wow so Blazy about a unlicensed nucleur accelerator potentially falling over
I like the Etsy one better
Has anyone started using apps like Polycam to scan props when they have an opportunity? Capturing dimensional accuracy could benefit greatly!
Assemble another pack entirely from fan-built replica pieces and see how close you can get!
Fanception!
Etsy seller is about to sell a lot of these...
Attenuator isnt at all meaningless, its a power control/volume knob. Something that reduces the power of a signal
What is that light with the nuclear symbol on it called?
Only issue I have is for a small box like this and little effects costs more than the PKE and Trap combined. Almost costs as much as the Proton Pack. Literally only the people with big money will get this.
The Etsy page is already slashdotted.
you're showing us the "pack side"
Ahhhhh...what's the high pitch buzz
Interesting. I heard no buzz. Does it last throughout the video or is it just during a certain section?
It's just apparently in the first minute...it's a high feedback idk if buzz is the correct word ..it was loud in my headphones haha
@@albatz1377 I would guess that this was something related to your headphones or the device you watch this on. I heard no such noise.
Or it was this little noise they have in the intro that sounds like an old camera flash charging.
That's awesome! I'd love to get one, but it's a bit pricey lol. Any chance anyone wants to release a free stl file for 3d printing? lol
I laugh at gate Keepers. "That's not Canon"oh really! Who cares😂
It's 300 dollars. Ouch.
Looks like a guitar pedal
Great set of movies except the female version that one was butchered
*as if you really needed an excuse to make another proton pack*
