Early this year I've started to build a Slime Blower, it's a personnal challenge because references are small and there is only one thread on GBfans with detailled pictures of building.
Also there is a Facebook group called "Slime Blower Builders", wich is very helpful too for specific questions or tips.
And to add a little bit of pressure on my shoulders, this blower will be the first in France!
For this build I have try to find accurate parts as it was possible, and if not the closest one.
My build start with accurate spot lights, found on a bicycle used parts website, for a ridiculous price.
I have bought the real pneumatic 3/4" Parker fitting, but I wasn't able to have the male parts in the accurate steel.
I have made my aluminium brackets and plates from an obsolete proton pack motherboard, and mounted to my Alice frame.
I've bought some 3D print parts from a talented guy named Adam Gamler.
An other nice purchase was some gorgeous accurates labels from a ghosthead named Dave Mc Adams.
The 3" caution tape was bought separately.
I made the pumpboxes myself with 0,8mm brass sheet. Here are my third and final attempt, first was in aluminium, second in brass but was not very square.
For the tanks and the ball, I've choosed to use acrylic. It's lightweight and strong, I'm not very carefull when I wear my props^^
So I've found pipes and domes, and glued it with a special glue for acrylic (Acrifix), and to reinforce the assembly and the areas where there are screws or pop rivets, I've used polyurethane resin (G26).
It's strong but not enough to resist to a 1m60 (63") fall... :cry
At this moment I wanted to burned everything around me :lol
So it was time to do a puzzle and filling, sanding, filling, sanding etc... and cast again some resin.
Beside this, I have bought the accurate project boxes in the GBfans shop and the griblies casts from Nickatron.
And there is the result for the pack.
Ok I think this first post on this thread is long enough, let's talk about the gun later
