    Awesome setup, The extra fastening points really cleaned up the hoses and cables. I'm going to follow your lead with the riser and wheels.
    Best of luck with your projects :)

      Thanks, To be honest, I never knew what a vapor hone cabinet was until I watched your channel. Its really your design with a few of my own ideas. Now your giving me the fever for a 3d printer.

    I wish I had the equipment and skills you have where you just fabricate what you see in your head. I come up with some pretty good ideas but I have to adapt what I can find to make my ideas a reality. The problem is I usually have to change my design to fit what I can find. I'm in the process of building my own vapor cabinet and I definitely am going to use a lot of your ideas. Thank you very much for the great videos.

    I really like this set up, it's well thought out and executed and I will deffo be making similar modifications to my newly built machine. I'm in uk so finding all the plastic pipe fittings is a tad challenging at the moment but I'm getting there - this is all new to me so a big learning curve.
    One thing I have noticed on many of these videos is that everyone seems to have the air and slurry etc enter the cabinet on the RHS, now this is not a problem but looking at the way the hoses go when being used by a right handed person they come in then bend 180* then go back the way they came then turn to point to the centre of the cabinet where the work piece is, this seems counter productive to me, if they entered on the left side of the cabinet and came along the back of the front of the cabinet they would naturally curve around to the centre towards the workpiece without straining to bend the pipes.
    What do others think of this idea? for left handers the usual way works well.

      Never really thought about it, But it makes sense what you are saying about the hose entry. That would be better for a right handed person like myself. I used the factory holes that were in the cabinet for the hoses. If I were to do it again I would plug those holes and come in from the other side as you suggested. Luckily the Flexzilla brand hoses I used are extremely flexible. Thanks for the comment and suggestion. Very good idea.

    Brilliant setup sir! Would you mind making one for me?

    Im thinking of doing a similar setup, I currently have the Kobalt 20-Gallons Portable 175 PSI Vertical Air Compressor from lowes? Would this be sufficient to use and just letting the tank get refilled continuously?

      It should work. You will probable have to stop from time to time to let the compressor catch up. Its not so much the pressure. It just consumes the air fast. (CFM) My compressor setup puts out about 12 CFM.

    Nicely done. What size angle iron did you use for cart? Wheel size? Welded or bolted cart frame?

    • @mdw66799
      @mdw66799  Год назад

      1-1/2 x 1-1/2 3/16 thick angle iron. Wheels are from amazon a.co/d/eDbBsgt The frame is welded, but the cabinet just sits in the frame. Two people can lift the cabinet out of the frame without unbolting anything.

    Could you please give me one: How many bars is the sustained pressure on how many bars it operates? How much mm is the diameter of a compressed air vent? Thank you so much!

    • @mdw66799
      @mdw66799  Год назад +1

      My compressor output is 10 cfm at 90 psi/6.2 bars. I run the unit at 50psi/3.4 bars with a 1/2 inch hose. I'm not sure how to convert cfm to bars Hope this answers your question.

    That build is really impressive!
    Would it be possible to know what pressure gauge you’re using here?
