Hi All,

As am now starting to airbrush more and thereby been decanting paint as everyone does, I thought must be a simpler less messy and more efficient way to do this ????

Loaded up software, then designed and printed a few of these which worked better then expected. Just push them straight over the spray nozzle, attach straw and away you go, no mess or fiddly attaching straws directly to nozzles etc.

Got a bit carried away printing and a few quickly grew into 15 adapters so could put one on each can.

Thanks Puglee,

Its amazing what you can come up with when suffering massive sleep deprivation. Purchased new 3D designing software that I have wanted for the last 2 years and spent the entire night designing and 3D printing my lure prototypes, didn't make it to bed last night so hoping to change that tonight, its just so addictive.

Was testing new printed lure mods out in the local river at 02:00 and again at 04:30 this morning, this new lure design is one of those must finish life determining ones.

Hi Stephen,  Made myself one using a sprinkler fitting but getting a mess on top of the can so must need to be tighter around nozzle or underneath.   If you get time could you post a photo of view from underneath.

regards

Hi P.J,

The more software I get my hands on, the greater the designing opportunities.

Learning new techniques all the time.
