My WIP Slime Blower plans/Slime Blower Build

I have begun working on plans to use for my slime blower build. Here is a quick look at where I am so far. I plan to add dimensions and individual parts as well. As things progress I will update them here. If anyone has any comments or critiques or feels anything looks off let me know and I can do possible adjustments.

Thank you,

Adam

Here is some progress to the plans still looking to measure a few more parts and maybe improve the measurements of the alice frame itself. Again comments and critiques are welcome.

very nice!!

If you need dimensions of the Parker fittings or any other parts let me know.

Keep it up!

Thank you,

One of the issues I seem to be running into is some interference with the two side brackets and the tanks. I also see a curve to the frame itself in some of the reference pictures. I think I will not place much importance on the alice frame and just go with the basics to get things to line up where they should. The biggest issue is the mounting locations on the frame with the brackets so that things will line up.

I know it’s been a while but I have a new update to post on the plans.

Let me know what you think. Any thoughts or comments would be appreciated.

Also here is the progress on my tanks complete with Cat-Eye lights.

Unless my eyes deceive me, those look like you’re going the metal tank route.

If so, welcome aboard. :slight_smile:

Yes those are aluminum tanks. Not sure what the main tank will be, I haven’t found anything in the right size yet. Your build really helped me out with a lot of the details so thank you for that. I will post updates as things progress.

WOW ! That thing must weight a ton!

I have some more progress photos of the Slime Blower Gun.

I just need to get the black boxes, the brass fittings and of course mount the lamps.

Just curious what others may have done to keep the bike grip on the ball valve handle. Mine seems rather loose and I would prefer not to glue it just in case It would need to be removed. Let me know if there are other options or ideas.

You could try add a discreet screw or bolt which goes through the grip and into the valve handle.

Thanks I may have to try that.

Ok, so let’s get a few more pictures up of the plans I am working on. I have started some drawings of individual plan parts.

Let me know what you think and if you may have any thoughts or ideas or if I missed something.

I got around to attaching the bike grip to the ball valve

Could you use the right size drain pipe and cap the ends?

If I could find the right size drain pipe that would be great. The 9.5" size is not a very common size and is incredibly expensive to have one made. If you know of something though please let me know.

I’m trying to think if I’ve seen that size at Lowe’s or not.

What I did was use a sheet of thin gauge of aluminum, and had a fabricator roll the sheet into a tube. It was all told about 250.00, but it is fairly on the heavy end.

What are you using for your bladder strap?
