I need a little bit of help finding the right tubbing for my air assist. I just bought an aquarium o2 pump to replace my old air brush compressor. I need a 5mm inner diameter tube that is coiled but isn’t to stiff the one that purchased is to stiff and interferes with the laser moment any suggestions?
Go to light object web site. They have the tubing for the air asist units. Its the same size as the tubing for the water cooling system.
@Dan_Stuettgen are they coiled
No. Its not coiled. It is very flexible and soft.
I brought a airbrush coiled hose on ebay for under $6 ,let me know if you want photosof where iIran my hose
@Phillip_Conroy that is the one I have but I need a 5 mm not three
@Dan_Stuettgen does it get in the way of operating the machine
No because i installed the cabling chain . One end is attached to the right hand wall of the cutting area and the other end to the bracket that the air assist lens / mirror assembly is mounted in. The air assist hose runs through thr cabling chain, so it stays out of the way.
@Dan_Stuettgen could you show me a picture when I tried a cable chance I couldn’t get it to work
Sorry. Not at home where my machine it. Away on business trip. Will post pic on monday when i am back home.
Check out the aeromodellers… they use silicon coiled for refuelling their models. Fleabay ought to be a good source.
@Dan_Stuettgen Did you ever share a picture of your air hose cabling chain. I am also interested in seeing it. Thanks.
@Pablo_Verity can you tell me where you purchased this
Fleabay. It was a couple of decades ago, but a quick search yielded this… You need to search for stuff.
