Rocketeer “Veepy” Jetpack 3D printable kit project.

[gnolivos]

Any plans to model things like the hand control/trigger and helmet?
I know there are various helmets floating around out there but they all seem to vary a bit in terms of accuracy

Hi. I have no plans to model anything other than some fake internals for the jetpack. That will be for a poster.

Those new pictures of the finished pack look amazing, the best one I have ever seen modeled!

Thank you! There are almost 400 hours invested in this.

Currently testing the print ability of the design. There are undoubtedly going to be challenges with it as is, and will need to tweak to make it all fit. Tolerances are a real challenge with 3D printing when it comes to fitting tongue and groove parts together.

Parts are large. They take a long time to print.... stay tuned.

Fantastic work. A Rocketeer helmet is in the list for printing. Never really considered the pack until now. Wow!

I’ve been asked whether the files will be available for sale.
The answer is absolutely and unequivocally NOT!

I will never make a single dime off this work. It will be made available for free. For everyone. This is my way of giving back to the community.

Thanks for the gesture, but as I said I will never ever take a dime or two, or any amount of money for this work.

I will repay you buy building it !

Between this and a Proton pack are 2 of my childhood grails. And I've already built 5 Proton Packs lol

Wow! This is looking amazing so far! I can't wait until the files are available, as I'm sure a great many of us are! Mad respect for your attention to detail.

Very generous of you. Myself, not a big fan of this prop, but that does not take away from you giving back to the community. Kudos to you.

Fantastic work, wished I had seen this sooner. I'm in the middle of printing a decent pack I found on Thingiverse.
