Testing The 3d Printed DIY Vapor Blasting Nozzle

Finally got some spare time today to film more testing of the 3d Printed vapor blasting nozzle.
Pretty happy with the result. There does not seem to be any wear on the inside of the nozzle so far, and the surface finish is very similar to that of my brass nozzles.

    stringing was the word you were looking for spaghetti is where the print fails and you end up with a big ball of filament on the bed. but that printed blast gun and nozzle look like a winner to me keep up the good work

    Hi John, Yes, stringing is the term I was looking for. Completely left my mind during filming. I wish I had got into 3d printing a long time ago, but my CAD skills are just now getting good enough to be able to make the most of it! Thanks for watching and thanks for the comment! Josh.

    Hi Chris, Thanks - Its working pretty well so far. When I get a chance I will do some development on the tips to try out some different designs. Flick me a message on FB if you would like the .Stl files - you were the inspiration for this project. Cheers Josh

    Hey mate, I want to try a mix of glass bead and aluminium oxide to speed things along. Have you tried this, and if so, what mesh aluminium oxide do you use?

    Hey Simon, I responded by email but figured I would answer here too for anyone else wondering. I use AC grade glass beads (250-150 Micron) and Brown AO (125 - 106 Micron) at about a 50/50 mix. I have brown AO because that was what was in stock, but it clouds up the water very quickly. White may be better in this regard. Cheers Josh

    I like the video and your vapor blaster, very good job. I know this doesn't matter or your unaware of this but I almost turned the video off because of all the "um, um, um, um" you kept saying. I believe it was unintentional but a bit annoying. I watched the whole thing because I'm interested in turning my regular blast cabinet into a vapor blaster. You did a fantastic job designing it, the part looks like new and it works GREAT!! Nice video.

    Hi! Can i use 3/4" y valve insted 1/2" to build the blaster? My ceramic nozzle is larger (8mm model), It is ø 21 mm on the base. Thx!! :)

    Hi Pedro, Is the ceramic straight walled? or is there a step in the outside? If it is the straight walled type, this video may interest you. It has a design that uses a 3/4 Y strainer kzread.info/dash/bejne/gnl1uNCpgN21hJs.html Thanks for watching!

    It can help, but it depends. If you have a 10m long 1/4" hose and you cut it down to 1m, it will have a small improvement. But if you have a 10m long 1/2" line, the difference would be practically imperceptible.

    This one feels a little odd to me in that it is so much lighter than I am used to. But it seems to cut quite quickly. I like this one in that it is quite a cool concept and works very well, but the brass gun is much more durable.

    Hi Vance, This is just my little compressor. It is around 12.5cfm with a 3hp single phase motor. Much too small for any extended length of use, but its handy to set up for testing purposes. Thanks for watching!
