    Nice video. That thing is a monster! Love those knobs. Mahalo for sharing! : )

    I like the knobs but would like something visual to indicate its tightened. A small lock and turn button on the front center would be nice as a way to indicate tight status.

    1: How about 2eyes on the lid and call it "PapaPig"?
    2: How about some kind of garage where you can clamp the whole tank to 2walls?
    It's information like "don't use plumber's putty for air seals" that is gold for every maker. Thanks!

    I made the same thing a few months ago. I found the Binks chamber on a UC Davis surplus auction for $20.00 I also learned by chance the center nut on the lid is a left handed screw. I removed mine and sealed it with silicone.

    Nice build, are the 3-D printed parts holding the tank to the legs is gonna last. What about the bolt to the turnbuckle? I think that should be upgraded.

      3d printed parts are marginally sufficient, I am actually surprised that they are working as good as they are, bolt to the turnbuckle works, needs a more elegant solution, but for now it will allow me to get casting and finish my project.

    So don't use the putty to seal, ok what did you do to replace it? Or what do you recommend? I've got a small harbor freight paint pot I'm converting to a pressure pot what do you recommend for sealing?

      Use a Teflon tape or pipe dope to seal the threads when attaching threaded parts together

    The construction looks very wobbly. Are all four castors lockable? A square tube welded construction would have probably been better, or aluminum extrusion profiles.
    I must say, that final resin part looks really, really good. Didn't even know that could be manufactured that way. I thought that would only work by thermo forming.

      Thanks, the cart definitely needs to be upgraded, I talk about that at the end of the video.

      @@EricStrebel Oh, didn't watch the final thoughts to the end.
      But yeah, that part came out really nice. How does the weight of the mold not squish the lower wall thickness to nothing?

      The silicone is plenty strong enough to resist that force

    Too much knobs, the lid will be more secure with a ringe tightened in one side of the gallon. Thanks for the video.
