Some progress finally!
Mounted the tanks to a plywood board and slid the vintage army Jeep seat cushion over it. The harness/seat belts are bolted to the board and fed through slits in the seat canvas. The seat cushion is a little thicker than the movie version but it makes it really comfortable to wear. It's not as heavy as I anticipated with all the found parts used on it.
I still have to trim and tuck the canvas around the board a little more and do some finally weathering touch ups.
Waiting for the headlamp holders that I picked up off ebay to use as the attachment for the handlebars to the pack and get those installed.

Figured out some more parts. The "handle bars", swivel joint and attachment are boat canopy parts.
Here's a still from the movie:
And here's similar parts I found looking up boat or bimi canopy top parts.
I'm sticking with some electrical conduit, ratchet swivel socket and conduit bend clamp and schwinn handle bars for now.

Installed the "Handle bars" last night. For now we just went with the conduit tubing, "L" conduit for the elbow, upper halves of a Schwinn handle bar and socket swivel joints that I welded to the tubing.
We also just used and L bracket that was attached to the backboard seat belt bolts for now. Since I found the correct tubing for the setup we'll hopefully upgrade that at some point. Right now we're just trying to get finished for Halloween.
Just have to add the brake cables, pressure gauge and button to the handle bars and I think we'll be good for now.
Here's my son modeling it for his costume.

I'm just about ready to take a second pass at my pack. (Still a few details and proportions I'm not happy with.) Here's my current setup:
As for non-pack Tomorrowland props, here's a peek at something I've got printing for SDCC as we speak:

Haven't had much time for updates but need to make some as it's my favorite piece so far.
Does anyone have any updates on the "carb" plate the horn button attaches to. I know Nickytea found the what the one top piece was. Any luck on the other?
I'd love to be able to 3D print out some of the pieces if anyone can scan or has templates. I'd be happy to print extras.

That's just a fan-edit of the film that incorporates previously available deleted scenes into the film itself. No new reference there.
Hey Jet Pack builders, I have couple of each of these parts if someone is interested in them, The first is the backing plate for the Planet horn button, and the other is the ribbed piece under the plate, see the picture of my Pac.
They are 3D printed,they're $60 for each peice including shipping in the US.

I filled the prints and did some weathering and painting so if anyone wants a set just PM me I have 2 of each piece.

Any info on how you made this one. I just saw you posted a little clip on Instagram of it.
Would love to find out more info.
Thanks!

I had the blaster 3D-printed in two halves, assembled, cleaned them up, then NicksDad helped me install the electronics before final painting/finsihing.
Video of the finished blaster here.
Planning to make the 3D model available, but it still needs some fine tuning for accuracy and printing efficiency.
EDIT: if anyone wants to play around with the unmodified 3D file, I've made it available to download here.

Thanks! Just downloaded the 3D file to play around with. I'll have to get one printed out in between my BB8 prints.

I had a scaling mishap on the first print, resulting in a piece WAY too big for the pistol. So, I decided to make lemonade out of lemons and converted it into the rifle version of the blaster from the film. Turned out to be just about the perfect size for that:
(Still a work-in-progress.)
Here's a shot of the original rifle -- along with a few of the Nix guard rifles from later in the film -- for reference:

Hot of the printer bed, here's my slice of the right half. The left half is printing now. Would love to see what electronics you crammed inside. Any in progress pics?
