Over the past few years, one of the issues that people have been coming across while building their own nozzle is difficulty in getting a hose barb inlet to work.
Just a quick follow up to yesterday's video. There has been a bit of interest in these nozzles. This is the test of the next one to be sent out to the US tomorrow morning.
I just wanted to add a couple of points. These were designed to keep prices down and make vapor blasting as accessible as possible to everyone. That said, I am more than happy to build and ship them anywhere in the world. At this stage, my youtube stuff and vapor blaster builds are still a side hustle, but I will do my best to get items built and shipped out as quickly as possible while working around my regular job.
Info on the nozzles shown in the video:
Comes with an 8mm ceramic tip and available with 2.5mm, 3mm, and 3.5mm air jet to suit your air supply.
$43USD for the Nozzle,
And approximate shipping is as follows:
* Parcel post (3-10 days estimated shipping time - Untracked): $14.50USD
* Courier (2-6 days estimated shipping time - Tracked): $34.55USD
*** Prices are indicative and subject to exchange rates***

Just a quick update on a few things and a tease on the next stage of upgrades I am making on the ghetto blaster.
I have also had a few questions on the retainer I use in the 3d printed guns to fit the pick alumina ceramic tips.
Thanks for watching!

This is a vapor blaster I built over the Sunday and Monday of a long weekend, taking about 14 hours.
Everything I used for this build I had on hand. The ceramic nozzle is not something most would have lying around, but for a build like this you could just as well spin up a steel one for the same results.
I sound a bit out of breath in this video because I had the flu at the time of filming. I wasn't about to let that mess up a good long weekend.
Due to being short of time, the quality of build was not what it could have been for someone taking their time. But it is definitely a useable vapor blaster.
In future, I plan to detail the build concepts I have learned and used to build this unit. I will discuss what you need to look for in pumps, design concepts for correct slurry feed and agitation; as well as cabinet design basic principles. For now I want to upgrade my air supply, tidy out my workshop and upgrade the quality of my footage.

The trailer compressor is pretty much done. I have a few videos from when I got it, but I never really covered off its completion, so here it is. I have a new workshop now with 3 phase, so this one will probably get sold.
Thanks for watching!

Been catching up on nozzle building. I have modified the .stl of the 3d printed guns to fit larger hose barbs.
I have also put together a hybrid type nozzle. It has the 3d printed body, but uses the brass hose barbs, aluminium air jet and a ceramic tip.
Straight type brass 1/2" are now available with 16mm (5/8") slurry inlet.
Finally, the ebay type nozzles that arrived with my latest shipment seem to be of higher quality than previous orders and now include an o-ring grove on the air jet to stop slurry spraying out the back.
Thanks for watching!

I ran into some engine issues over the weekend on my daily driver. Its been a while since I spent any real time working on non modified vehicles. So I wasted the better part of a morning trying to work out what was wrong.
After watching dozens of videos, and reading over a handful of forums, I narrowed down the potential issues.
I put this video up because if I had have known this before, I would have saved myself hours of time.
