Over the past year or so, I've been collecting parts for a Slime Blower. Due to real life it's been on hold for around 8 months or so. However, now is the time for me carry on and get this done this year.

Here is where I am at the moment:

Still got a while to go.

I'm also want to document everything in as much detail as I can because the little info out there on Slime Blowers is scattered all over the place and the available plans all differ in measurements etc.

Looking to get started on contruction when I have all the parts and when the weather improves to hopefully have it ready for London Film and Comic Con in July.

that's a good call right there. I'm looking to build one after my proton pack and will be scouring the forums for precious info too!

Good Luck sir!

Just a little bit of advice, you may want to consider making your "thrower" out of metal. My thower is always getting bumped just from where it hangs. Around waist high. Just a thought. Good luck! Looking forward to your progress

Thanks. I should have a small update this weekend. I'll be using PVC pipe for the thrower covered with sheet aluminium. I'm trying to keep the cost as low as I can so that means I'll have to compromise on a few things. Ordering the metal soon.

Well, an update later than expected, but whatever!

Got the heatsinks. Just need to cut a little off of each of the pump box ones.

PVC almost ready for aluminium covering!

I love this tool!

Template ready for the nozzle.

I'm going to need to buy some clamps for this. I've managed without until now, but it's a neccesity with this build!

That's it for now...
