Man i love that Compressor and chiller they look good cant wait for the next video......Hope it all comes together for ya....

[@mikeydesignssilkscreen473]

Thank you!!! They're a great looking set. I'll post a video soon. The next one will be pretty in-depth as to how to rebuild these heads / service them.

Robo grips! I didnt think anyone else owned those, lol. You're a handy guy by the way Matt... nice work sir.

[@mikeydesignssilkscreen473]

Funny thing is I borrowed them from a neighbor, and then he moved... completely slipped my mind I had them at the time. Thanks! I appreciate that. I'm a DIY guy and tackle just about any project. Have build a handful of hotrods in my days as well, which included rebuilding the car from the ground up including the rebuilding the motor and transmission. It's great what you can learn on the internet these days and DIY.

Matt, all you need to do is get a UNION connection for the main Filter, that will allow you to connect it right where you want it, the UNION allows you to connect it without turning the Main Filter.

Thanks for the tip!

@@mikeydesignssilkscreen473 I'm about to have to change the one on ours also i will use that tip....lol

[@mikeydesignssilkscreen473]

@@nashwarrick Right! Now I'm going to have to go back and install one.

[@Novoworks]

Some nice new equipment ;)

[@mikeydesignssilkscreen473]

Thanks! :) Cost a pretty penny, but we'll definitely put the equipment to work. It's exciting getting new equipment.

Hey, cool video. I just bought my first automatic and need the compressor and chiller. Where did you get yours and what’s your review after 3 years?

[@mikeydesignssilkscreen473]

That's awesome! I forget the place, but I bought it online. I've only had one issue with the compressor and that was the on and off pressure switch was set too narrow for what we were doing. It would kick on after it lost 5psi. So a tech came out, installed a new switch. Now kicks off at 175psi, and will turn on around 155. Although, I have to admit, we wired it up wrong which fried the switch. lol. Aside from that. Doesn't leak, and works like a champ.

I need help. I bought a used javelin about 1 year ago I have a black plastic box to the right of the regulator and it dumps air when I open the air line to the printer. The box has a threaded hole underneath where i think an air guage should go, should I remove it entirely and just straight pipe it? Or find a the air guage

[@mikeydesignssilkscreen473]

I'm not sure to be honest without looking at it. I really just kinda troubleshooted putting this thing together. First time doing this stuff.

[@expmofo]

good job

[@mikeydesignssilkscreen473]

Thank you!

[@jasonpotter6592]

The Chiller is a refrigerant air dryer, this is essential to keeping moisture out of your air.

[@mikeydesignssilkscreen473]

I agree. Ours runs at a cool 33º.

[@TWOLF365]

I need HELP!!! Is there a way you can contact me or I can contact you? The person I bought my press from didn't mark any hoses. Having a hard time figuring out where everything needs to go.

[@Bunker27-Apparel]

Have you been happy with it, any issues?

[@mikeydesignssilkscreen473]

100%. No issues. Just change the oil per the recommendation.

[@hotboxprintstudio]

That thing is a beast! lol.. hope it didnt set you back too bad... what kinda dog Matt??

[@mikeydesignssilkscreen473]

LOL! Let's just say it's one of the pricier pieces of equipment in the shop. The shop dog / future guard dog (lol) is a doberman pinscher. :)

[@bagwear8689]

[@mikeydesignssilkscreen473]

I'll take a look and get that over.

thank you so much I appreciate you

[@mikeydesignssilkscreen473]

Any time! I'm so jealous! :)

Matt, you also asked how to know when to change the oil, they have an electronic RUN HOUR METTER for air compressors you wire into the line of the Air Compressor, which records how many hours of use. See the attached video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/maCvmIiEds2apac
