I've had this compressor for about a year after my old Timbertech tankless packed up. Had no issues with it at all. It is quiet and I can airbrush all night without waking the wife.
@greedy3d480 not yet. If I get my Amazon cart it's like $165. I just got 2 cards paid and I'm still debating to buy piece by piece or everything at once
Thank you for this review! I've been wanting to dip my toes - fingers? - into airbrushing for a while now, just because I'm tired of rattlecans for priming and also want to get smoother skin on my miniatures, and this one kept coming up in searches for "inexpensive and good". Amazon Canada has one that comes with a Fengda airbrush, too, which is perfect because I don't want to buy an expensive one only to break it during cleaning. $130 bucks for the set instead of 300+ for something more well known? Hell yeah.
Thank you so much for this and your previous videos. I'm new-ish to miniatures painting and never had an airbrush. I've blught some display size models (knights, mages etc) and realise an airbrush will give smooth coverage thsn a brush. I see this compressor does not come with an airbrush. Does it come with a hose? And what is your latest recommendation for the actual airbrush? Thank you for any advice. Jonathan
Hello good sir!! I’m looking to buy a compressor with a tank. I recently purchased one without a tank on Amazon that I will be returning. Would you recommend this bad boy for painting miniatures?
*Greedy 3D* does this small compressor provide enough pressure for a small air duster pistol ? e.g. for dusting a PC or a drill press for shorter pulses of air? or is it too weak and entirely designed just for airbrushing ? many thanks
I have seen some video here on YT where it was noticed that the unit shut it self off when the tank was full. not exactly the same brand name, but there are multiple of those units that are identical but with different brand names and very small differences (different color, slightly nicer packing, maybe slightly better or worse manometer etc. but I believe the tank and motor the same)
Just got mine, manual says fills to 4 BAR, then restarts at 3BAR. So far trying to figure out working pressure, as of yet gauge just seems to show fill pressure, working would me more useful. May need another inline gauge?
When you say you felt air from the cooling system, what did you think was causing that? There is no cooling fan in that unit. I've got the same one. If I use it for extended periods (30 mins +) it gets very hot. I'm going to do a cooling fan mod on it. Fitting x2 12v computer fans. There's a tutorial on YT.

thanks - good to hear that, thank you for sharing - seems a great unit and for under £90 cant go wrong -
I have that compresor, and it has never left me down, use it all the time. Great quality for the price,
Looks just like the one I have and works beautifully, enjoy your new toy.
Thank you
I've been looking at getting into RC airbrushing. Been looking at this compressor and Badger Patriot brush
Did you buy it

I ended up just ordering everything at once. Got this TC tank/compressor, Badger Patriot 105, Grex Airhose, quick disconnects, cleaner & needle oil

Let me know how your airbrushing experience goes 👍
I'm in the market for a new compressor so I'll take a look at this one
how do you unscrew the thing at the bottom to release any potential moisture?
Mine literally just unscrews

Hi no hose I'm afraid...Airbrush depends on budget I've done a few vids v where I've tested airbrushes have a look at em see what you think👍

Absolutely 😁

Is say it'd blow dust out of a pc
Could you use this to clean your keyboard or like your vacuum filter?
You could I guess
Anyone know what pressure the tank is turning on and off at? I can't find it in the description on Amazon.

Can i ask what Airbrush are you using?
It's a gallerhia
Ive got one...
Ive had it for a couple of years.
Id buy another if it broke.
Good to hear thank you
is that the airbrush you use for painting?? how in the world do you do detail painting with that???
I've literally only just tried it....not used yet in anger
Do you think this one is worth buying over the previous timber tech you reviewed?
Depends on what you want to tank or not.They're both do exactly the same job ideally 👍
@ oh ok thank you you so much🙏🏻
Currently £75.74p on Amazon...
Great price

Description says it has two cooling fans and I definitely felt air flow
@@greedy3d480 There is a cooling fan in the back of the compressor under the plastic cap
