Air Pump by LtDan

Last crawled date: 3 years ago

This is a small air pump designed to push air into 3/8 ID rubber tubing. You can easily design your own adapter if your needs require something different.
The motor I used for this is a Turnigy 1400kv brushless out runner motor. It's commonly used in quadcopters and requires an speed controller to run. It might be kind of overkill for this application so feel free to edit this to fit a different motor. I've included a STEP file for this purpose.
To get my model to run I bought a cheep esc, lipo battery, and servo tester from hobby king.
If you are into quadcopters you probably have all this stuff and know more about it then I do so use what you think is best, but here is the stuff I bought.MotorServo Tester, this one was kinda glitchy so you may want to get a different one.ESC, the motor calls for a 40 amp esc and this is only 30 so get whatever you feel like.
Just get any kind of lipo battery to run it, I used this one.
You're also gonna want 19 of 4-40 x 3/8 machine screws.
