Finally install the 2 blue bargraphs to the power-cell. Wire 10 differenct colour wires to these. One wire to two positive pins in sequence from bottom to top.

Connect all LEDs with positive and Negative wiring each with a 230ohm resistor on the positive leg.

It saved me a lot of time in the design phase, so all I did was take the object file of the main body and modified it so the inside was hollow enough to place the LEDs and electronics and hollowed out the switch and LED positions. From this I create my 3D file attached here) Next print out the circuit schematic on photo paper with a laser printer. ( I had to use the one at my work) On top put in a white LED and under the Vents at the top glue in 3 Blue LEDs in parallel with a 230ohm resistor. Get a 5 pence piece of a small disk of 18mm diameter and with half of it over the top edge of the foam draw around it to make a semi circle. Move the 5 pence over just slightly more than the 18mm and repeat 3 times.

See Image schematic with highlighted areas of what is created in Foam, it is basically the Synchronous generator , cyclotron and cyclotron band that is created out of foam. ( I also bulked up the base of the Iron arm using Foam underneath). Install the switches - ( two toggle switches on the face one above the other and one push switch on the left) I modified an existing file on the Web to meet the needs of a working neutron gun. Here is a link to the original file Original neutron files.

Glue one end of the flexible tubing to the rear tubing of the neutrino wand and secure with electrical tape. Make a hole through to the other side roughly where you're going to put the N Filter, this is for the LED leads to feed to the main board below. Now when you have all your 3D printed and foam parts you just need to gather up a few extra resources. These are needed for the tubing and wires to attach to on top of the synchronous generator and all Pipes.

Hot Glue everything except the cyclotron pieces into position on the template and glue the flexible tubing from the vacuum pump to the first casing down , see images for better explanation. Dont forget to include the external wire connections needed on the face of the circuit board as shown in the images. HGA Tube is cut from a Childs play bubbles container to the length of 33mm. (A toilet roll tube would also work) This was an enormous amount of work that I didn't realise once I started. It was challenging but rewarding.

As a member of the paranormal extermination team known as the Ghostbusters, you'll be called upon to investigate strange situations of suspected supernatural activity. Before you sign on we need you to raise your right hand and repeat this phrase: “I ain't afraid of no ghost.” Congratulations! Suit up in your Ghostbusters costume because you're hired! To create the board take the copper circuit board plate scuff the best you can with sandpaper and wire wool, wash then dry the board. Prepare your acid bath by mixing the ferric chloride with warm water and activate it by stirring with a plastic fork or stirrer, place copper board into the bath and wait. ( Always wear rubber gloves while handling this)

Take the an LED Base and hot glue one LED inside feeding the wires out the exit hole in the side. Repeat for each base. Next cut 7 Wires preferably of different colours and feed them through the flexible tubing onto the rear of the neutrino. Then from here it sends power to a 555 timer chip which creates a pulse. This in turn goes into a Johnsons decade counter chip that creates a cycling power on and off swapping between pins until the reset is called at pin5. This creates the 4 cycling LEDS on the cyclotron. Also position the N-Filter on the bottom right hand of the synchronous generator so that half or more of the filter will be overlapping the cyclotron and over the hole made earlier. Draw around the bits that overlap with the cyclotron. Near the end I realised my wee woman wouldn't wear this as she has a fear of noise in things and stuff pulling on her.Next using an Iron apply heat and pressure on top of the board for a few minutes trying to be as evenly as possible. Power is returned to part 3 of the board which in turn sends power to the other sound board that makes the neutrino wand sound while its active.
