This neutrino wand is based off the wonderful model by DancinFool82. There were a number of modifications I wanted to make to reduce filament used in printing and allow the use of 3/4 inch PVC pipe for the handles. I'm making a proton pack for my son and the handles need to be smaller.
I've split the main base to make it easier to print with minimal support. There are small guides modeled inside so the side panel will be easier to glue on. I've added a new mounting peg for the rear handle that has a base piece that slides on before the PVC pipe. This looks more like the original prop to me. The bottom base plate has been redone to allow the use of M2 screws to put it together. There are screw mounts in the main base and side pieces. This will allow access to the electronics after it's put together.
The front handle parts have been reduced a little in size to match the smaller 3/4 inch pipe handle. For an adult I think 3/4 inch PVC is better anyway as it feels better in my hands as well. All of the parts have been cleaned up and checked for errors as well. I was having some issues printing some of the original parts.
I did not include the clippard valve. I'm using this one which is great

Printer:
Davinci Mini
Rafts:
No
Supports:
Yes
Resolution:
.2-.3
Infill:
20-50
Notes:
The bottom base model has some circles on the edges that rip off easily after printing to keep it from warping because my slicer wouldn't add a brim.
Printing at .3 for all parts took about 24 hours. I've printed a lot of prototypes so it's hard to say for sure. It all came out really well though.
