Mini Compressor Update :)

[Ratt]

Whew...I was starting to give up hope. $500 is a lot of money to spend on a compressor, and quite honestly, I probably wouldn't be able to do it. I feel better after reading the update. $300 is a lot more feasable. Good work, Tom!

I am listening to you and working hard on it.

UPDATE 12-10-09

I am now working with the 95 RPM motor and its filling a LOT faster. Estimates at this point are 6-8 hours for the standard 68/4500. It may be possible to downsize the motor to one less costly and go back to the 24 hour fill. I also have to try boosting the input pressure to 100+ psi. Don't give up hope on the $300 price tag!

[kenjay]

Agreed. The update is great news. $200-$300 (plus quality) is king. How big do you expect this baby to be (size and weight)?

[Asfaraslogic]

I would use this on scuba tanks, and would rather a better quality one.

Me too...

New developments as of today 12-10-09

I am now testing the newer 95 RPM motor and its making a big difference.

See the first post for the update. I think the price may be coming down

The first good news that occurred on my birthday. Besides this the day was a wash...

[voodooballer]

yes! something like this would be great. I love to tinker with my markers and my 4 yr old niece loves to dry fire my guns, but gets upset when I have no air. As proshop is an hr away and only open on thur,fri,sat at which I work 6 days a week. This could be pretty awesome to have. Id much rather a 8 hr or less fill then a full day :P

[jkeyser14]

If you are going to do pre-orders let me know. I'll pay in full for 1-2 depending on the price.

I know it is not the typical ADG way, but you could sell a base compressor, as cheap as possible. Then offer upgraded parts (for example more robust, higher RPM motor). That way folks will buy what they can afford; and in the world of paintball custom means more $$$$$, folks shell out $400+ for a private label marker that has 0% more technology, one could only imagine what they would pay for a motor that works 25% better than stock.

Any updates?

[AGD]

Updates soon. The third generation required purchasing special tools that just came in today.

We are definitely talking two models at least. A basic version and a deluxe. I am also toying with you picking from a list of options and custom building them.

Main Use

I have two SCUBA's and I can not remember what they charge me off hand at the dive shop to fill but it is not cheap.

Way I would likely use is to fill both SCUBA's about once a month then start a dry tank off from scuba and use the pump to top it of to 4500 once or twice a month.

As far as cost I would rather pay $500 for a durable produce that last long time than have a lesser model that need a lot of work.

I have the fill station to fill a paintball tank from a scuba tank but what kind of adapter is needed to fill a scuba tank ? I never though about that and what that would cost.
4 bux around here to fill a 3000 psi 80 cu in tank, but I wonder what the adapter will cost.
