7000wm laser air assist

thingiverse

laser air assist that uses a ptfe tube to hook to a air compressor meant for airbrush guns. pictures aren't the best of the coupler but its hard to get to were i have it routed. when i first printed this an ran it, it seems fine but after long periods of use i noticed my air compressor getting hot so i drilled the hole out a little to take a little stress off the compress an this helped but still to hot for my comfort so i added a electric fan to my compress that comes on with it. my compress is old an not new so id about guess a newer compressor would work fine without breaking a sweat but just incase keep an eye on ur compressor an if it gets to hot start with drilling the hole out in the nozzle until its enough of a relief or u can do like i did an add a fan to ur compressor. i only drilled out once an still have plenty of room to drill out more but i was trying to keep the air as fine of a point i could but even if u cut if off flush just leaving enough to hold the ptfe tube, mine with just the ptfe tube would do the job alone, i just wanted to try to make it more adjustable, i may go back an make a couple different nozzles an one that just holds the ptfe tube. i may just go ahead an do this cause my compressor ran fine without heating up at all with just the ptfe tube, only when using the nozzle is when i started seeing the compressor heat up. the laser is 33mmx33mm an is made so if u push it up on the laser enough the lense will stick through so u can adjust its focus or if its a set lense then u dont have to push it all the way up an it can act like some what of a guard but i only have the one with a adjustable lense so i have to push it all the way up., it fits very snug on mine so if u want u could increase its size by scaling it up by a few % an that might make it a little easier to get on an off.
