Air assist mod completed. Thank you for the help on the lightobjects air assist upgrade determination that there truly is a smaller threaded element to the piece.
I already have an air compressor (oil-less). Is there a tutorial or part list I can follow?
My biggest challenge was to determine the LO air assist piece does fit the stock mount by breaking it down more than I had already done. The piece was pretty tight but it does separate into four pieces. Once I had that determined, I bought a recoil air spray hose (https://www.amazon.com/Aerograph-Recoil-Airbrush-Deluxe-Compressor/dp/B01B8L33Z8/ref=sr_1_2?s=arts-crafts&ie=UTF8&qid=1468541131&sr=1-2&keywords=air+brush+hose+recoil) similar to this one. I also went to Ace Hardware and bought a 3/8" male to male connector. The only additional piece was the zip ties and two holes I had to cut. I cut one on the lip near the lid and one between the laser space and the electronics space. It does appear that I have a bit too much coiled hose so I may start to cut that back a bit to reduce how much hose is dragging around in the laser area
If you get a small personal electric fan to blow on the airbrush compressor it will keep it from getting too hot and will prolong the life of the pump.
Good idea. Thanks. I have a small fan that will work for this.
Also make sure u have a water flow switch fitted,i blow my tube and power supply not long after i first got my laser cutter[and the biggest bummer was i had a flow switch sitting on my desknfor 2 weeks before i didnt check the water pump was on and blow stuff -$350 latter and 1 month lost live and learn]
my power supply died,how can i find out if my laser
is still good
@Hilco_Smit It would be best if you created a new post and describe exactly what happened. You will get a wider member response.
