[The Dude]

Here is the one I got from Nick's Dad. Very proud and happy I have it. Really rare now. Totally machined. Not cast.

Wow, what a stunning looking prop

My parts are terrible with large pits in them. I've been asking for instructions for months with no luck. Can I send this back for a refund? It pretty much junk.

 

[Garrett Smith]

Still waiting for instructions......

well I think Elilay completely gave up on the rpf. He is still very active on etsy though with lots of new items available. Really a pity, he was offering nice things but his communication is horrible.

Are there any raw kits left?

I would also be interested in a kit if there are any.

Can someone make a screw on Suppressor / Silencer / Disburser, along with a waited handle to make the prop balanced?
I'm just putting the idea out there. I'd love to see it, is all.

that looks fairly easy to do, although I'm not sure about how this would screw on the normal cricket, it would be easier to have a dedicated cricket for that purpose I guess. The suppressor could be done with a tube to keep it light, and I don't know how the handle is weighted as i can't see in the photos.
So, yeah, it would depend on the details to determine, but overall, it looks pretty easy to achieve

Just screw it on. If you want a better hold, 3D print the screw longer threw out the prop body. Also, i was thinking have a plug or electrical pin, replacing the Photoshop screw, to light up the end of the silencer barrel.

That's nice but this means the cricket would need to be modified, it's hard to provide a kit and ask people to cut, drill and tap their existing crickets sadly.
The silencer itself is easy but coming up with a solution for a quick attachment is a bit complicated.

3D prints can have screws & taps all ready printed in them. Also, further idea. using a small audio jack for possible barrel lighting. And if your worried about the strength of the 3D printed screw, you could put a copper tub in side to strengthen it, or just make the printed screw with a fine hole in the center for small LED wiring. Just spitballing ideas.

Alright, I think I misunderstood your needs, you talk about 3d prints and I do metal parts and thought you wanted a metal silencer to adapt to you existing crickets. I hope you can find what you are looking for.
