good news everyone. I've all but completed the respirator. got the air outlet all done, installed the filter. now the only thing i need is a hose, i'm looking at you rhino. and the seat belt for the waist strap. then just load it up with instant cold packs and I'm good to go. here it is people tell em what you think.

the air outlet pipe is  a large prescription pill bottle i cut at at an angle and attached over the blower hole with my favorite tape next to duck, aluminum. this stuff is awesome. heat resistant, conductive and you can use it just like duck tape only its kinda ridged so it holds its shape. i use it for a lot of stuff. I'm not to keen on how the pill bottle looks. i wanted to use piping but i also wanted to get this done in a hurry and this is all i had on hand. i can always replace it later after all its just tapped on. what do you guys think? at the very least its very using what you can find.

the filter is just friction fitted into the lid but it stays in there pretty well. i had to place the blower at an angel cause flush it would just be too close to the filter. and i made a little air channel out of what else, aluminum tape. the battery pack is going to be Velcro-ed to the inside top of the box to run along those wires. this will keep it out of the way of the cold packs. just gotta attach the Velcro. the cold packs will set in that corner opposite the blower. i was kinda worried about condensation build up. but on suck a small space id dont think it will be a problem. I'll have to test it first. if it becomes a problem a sponge placed under them should do.

well thats pretty much it in a nutshell. just gotta weather it a bit and the hose and belt and I'll be done ready for its first convention monster mania.

not really. keeps the look of an improvised item to it. the look of invention and necessity.
