Airbrush Spray Booth Build
Vložit
- čas přidán 20. 08. 2024
- This is a quick build video of a simple budget airbrush spray booth I recently put together using primarily materials I already had on hand. I've been using this booth for a couple weeks since it's construction and It's been a fantastic addition to my work area. I should have built one of these years ago.

Great video. Not sure why all the hate about the 3D printer. That is clearly an optional component that you were just having fun with. Thanks for posting this.
Made a large 24x24 paint booth being I do some models up to 1/16 scale. I cut up old cardboard boxes I saved (FREE), hot glue gun (IN MY STOCK), tape (IN MY STOCK), 24x24 A/C filters (4 PACK $24), one 24x24 3 speed box fan ($20 New) set it up and tested found that even with the box fan on low all the paint was pulled to the filter. Works great and so happy I did not buy the ready-made booths $$$. Thanks for the info, Mike
I'm trying to get different ideas for spray booths. So far yours is the easiest one I've seen so far.
Thank you and have a blessed holiday season!!
That point where he goes from duct tape and shoe goo to fusion 360! Funny 😁
😂😂😂😂😂
Seen plenty of diy spray booths with wood and cardboard but I really like the idea of using corrugated plastic.. cheap, light, relatively sturdy, easy to cut. I built mine using this as a guide but with a few differences. 1. I used L brackets instead of tape, not as cheap/simple but I liked the look. 2. Used bathroom fan placed in center, I think these are at least decently safe? 3. Cut broken broom handle to make stand offs for the sheet and magnets that retains the filter, I find it funny that some people here seem to think a 3D printer is a requirement. 3. On the sheet that retains the filter Instead of cutting one opening over where the fan is, I cut two large rectangular openings on each side. Thought it might even the air flow a little and force the air to travel through more of the filter instead of just going straight in making it last longer and maybe a little better? Not sure but just an idea I had, been working just fine. Thanks for the video.
Thank you. I borrowed 2 large street signage from a street lamp, pretty much followed your build. For extraction I incorporated 2 x 120mm PC fans. I printed front grills and back attached 90 degree air vents on the back eliminating the tube and fan. I also added in a light mounted to the top, all connected to an adapter in order to utilize an old router cable.
It's good that you provide a visual example of a fan appropriate for solvent-based paints.👍
Nice job! I like your design. I’ll probably just use corrugated cardboard instead. Not as sturdy as yours, but I can always make a new box. Thanks for the vid.
Very well put together video. The spray booth looks great too. Enjoyed your explanation of why you crafted certain features into your plan. Thanks!
Works for me, thanks for sharing. I finished my spray booth today but I have't added an inline fan. Working progress I guess.
Lots of great ideas here, even if you don't have a 3D printer. But maybe it's time to get one? Thanks for this video!
"quick, simple, and cheap"...……….then proceeds to make some parts that he designed on his program, on his 3D printer.
Not a requirement but a nice tool to have. You could do the same thing with a dowel, PVC/ABS pipe, etc. if you wanted the magnet mounts.
Make It RC - just an observation from a disinterested viewer. Your video title would be great and fitting, if you didn’t toss in the CAD rendering & 3D printed parts and actually used the items that could be substituted as you mentioned in your reply since the 3D printed parts aren’t a requirement. Using the easily substituted parts gives validity to the video. As you said, you had all these items already on hand I’m relatively certain that 98% of the viewers don’t keep on hand the majority of the items you had, with the exception of duct tape, I’m pretty sure duct tape most everyone has that. Other then that, it is a great video. I’m not hatin, I’m just saying.
You know how it is Guys when you have a toy you wanna play with it ,start with simple pieces , move up, leave him alone , personally I'm jealous .
I have heard it said, that to a hammer everything is a nail. It follows that the person holding the hammer looks for nails even if they aren't aware of it. If a person holding hammer sees a nail that can be struck it simple must happen. This pattern holds true with the printer as well. As soon as you have and can use the printer, everything is a job for the printer. The good news is the bar for printer ownership is coming down rapidly!
It would be easy to skip that step, as he actually did in the end (I found that quite funny), or make a replacement from some scrap wood and magnets.
an airbursh and pump cost me a hell of a lot more than my $200 printer. You guys act like they are soooo out of reach.
This is some sexy music playing, made my want to take my new painting booth out to dinner.....things got weird... I went out and bought one after that... good video....I guess.
Thank you! The music was an....interesting choice.
This is perfect. Nice job well done thanks for sharing.
😂😂😂 love the booth but I wish I'd have seen it before I got over spray all over my wife's kitchen 😂😂😂 she's gonna love you once I build one of these beauties 😊 thank you, your a lifesaver........ literally 👍
Tom Wright .... your right i do love this man now! X
lol, I'm glad you found this helpful.
I can relate Tom Wright. Yesterday I ruined the white wooden frame around one my bedroom windows with black spray paint. I had opened one of the windows so I would not breathe in the vapor, and only cover the windowframe with a piece of cardboard that was just 2cm wider then the part that I wanted to paint. Parents weren't really happy with it. Since it had been redone barely three months ago. Guess I need a booth too. Wood would suffice too, allthough it has a lesser 'clean' white look to it. And painting the wood of the booth would be pretty useless. XD
Samurai Thomas the paint comes with use
It did, I didn't like the white anyway XD
I made my spray booth out of a cardboard box the old air filter from my car and a vacum cleaner
That's what I'm was thinking I might spray some paint on the cardboard to give it some rigidity and help it last longer.
Sounds much better than having to buy a $400.00+ 3D printer for a "cheap" airbrush booth and I bet it runs much more effectively - (except for the noise from the vacuum cleaner) good for you!!
I am planning exactly same thing, and you make it sounds like MacGyver cool!
Nice work. Can probably get some velcro in there somewhere, so can fold that big thing up and store it away, if someone do not use all the time.
I will be making one. Thank you for the easy video.
Jesus...People in the comments complaining you used a 3D printer when they don’t have one...not realizing they don’t need one and can use...I don’t know ANYTHING ELSE removable. Like adhesive Velcro?!? Or just use tape. Like most of them even tried to make one of these or complain about a 3D printer when they don’t even have an airbrush!!!
The point is this is supposed to be a “simple, dirt-cheap” spray booth, but he then proceeds to use high-end software that requires a lot of experience, and an expensive 3D printer for a complex magnet retention design he admits later is unnecessary. The disconnect between the content and purported intended audience is humorous. People aren’t angry, they’re laughing at the juxtaposition of “simple, dirt-cheap” to everything else and being sarcastic. Nobody is trying to be mean or hurt anybody’s feelings. It’s a fine video and provides some good ideas, but it is funny.
Wow.. that's an old school ruler! 1:42
Definitely a good job a great project thank you for sharing it with us
GREAT VIDEO!!
Yes, please before you start using solvent based paints get the squirrel cage blower with the external motor mounted up.
So much safer for facial hair, keeps family members docile....
is there one you can recommend?
Let me plug my 3 D printer in. Gimme a second
LMAO!
Cool video.
Great booth!!! Thank you for Posting!
Love your "gettin busy" music
QAD will build one myself.
Great video and saved it so I can review.
Glad to see you thinking about combustion risks with solvent paints.... many wouldn't. But the fan design may be problematic - fan suction falls off at the fourth power relative to distance from the center of the inlet....so with a 4-6" inlet orifice with flat sides (not a bell or circular bevel inlet shroud) that drops off to almost zero inside the box. The dryer hose is tough for maintaining suction due to level of static resistance within the duct. The axial fan you have may work fine, but there are ways to make this better that aren't super costly.
I WAS WONDERING WHAT YOUR FIX TO THIS MIGHT BE (SORRY ABOUT THE CAPS, I WORK FFROM HOME AND WORK REQUIRES ALL CAPS)
HAVE YOU DESIGNED YOUR OWN SPRAY BOOTH?
Great job! Been a decent tutorial for ages! The rc hobby needs more creative people like you who make epic builds
This was just enough for me to do my own build. Thanks
"I added more duct tape to improve the appearance..." 🤨
That’s fine trailer park engineering right there. Chicken wire, duct tape, JB Weld, a 3D printer, and Fusion 360...all any country boy needs to make anything.
Morning vibes by lakey inspired in the background.. nice!
How come your plastic sheets don't have real estate ads on one side ?
Suggestion, consider using wall corner angles for all the corners for when a sturdier connection is needed. This would accommodate when needing a much larger paint booth using foam boards would still be an option. Another possibility is to start with a large box. Adding the foam board would allow to start with a white interior if needed.
Acrylic can also contain solvents, just saying.
WATERBASED....is way more specific.
I too build a paint booth but I used a TV case pulled all the guts out .leveled it up with some 1/4 in birch panels and I use paint mask filters and brushless CPU fans 2 to suck air in and 2 to suck air out I also made a turn table with a small d/c motor and a record player turntable it all work on 1 9v to operate the fans and 2 AA. Batteries to operate the turntable.also cut a hole on one side for light and gave it magnet clips to hold small pieces I'm in the process of installing l.e.d.lights as it's to dark when the sun goes down
Suggestion, just use a furnace filter at the back of the box and if need be cut a foam cutout to place in front of it. Doing this would allow the filter to be switched around when covered with paint. This would give a two for one and extend the use of each filter.
I use a 12 volt inline fan designed to ventilate a boat engine compartment so the electric motor is already sealed. I connected it to a cheap speed controller. With full power the fan can move 320 cfm. I usually have it on half, I have sprayed water directly across the opening of the booth and it gets sucked straight in.
Nice looking booth!!
Nice design.
Back in the late 60's or early 70's I recived a model car and I wanted it to look better then the other model cars I had build, I was around oh well not sure how old I was but I was a young kid at the time. it was when spay paint first came out. any way to make a long story short. one day I found a Styrofoam
cooler and I took a ice pick and punched holes in a circle at the back then placed it in my window, taking old carpet scraps, my father was a carpet layer so I had a lot of them to chouce from then I painted my model it came out great.
This is a good one. I'm planning something similar and got some ideas from this. Thanks. :)
Well Cheap..... parts around £25.00 in uk. 3D Printer around £300.00..............Spray booths on Ebay from £50.00......Job Done
Just a heads up, a 6in inline is massive overkill for this size of spraybooth. Do your Cubic foot measurements, then get a fan of appropriate CFM (cubic feet of air per minute). This will save you tons of money, time and hair pulling. Computer fans may be a great option but I've never tried it first hand. :D great vid tho!
Yup the jump from duck tape to 3D printing magnet holders was a bit over the top.
dryer vent duct? more like grow room vent duct haha :)
I should have read the comments first. Yeah, my 3D printer is on the fritz. Up until then it was interesting.
Use screws or duct tape lol
Incridible.
Great job,turned out great
Wow, you sure do things the hard way.
Nice job brother
Yezzerr, put some nice cuts into that nice table.
Bloody awesome mate 👍🏻
Great job on the booth, looks awesome 👍🏻👍🏻
👌 Good things to have on hand
Thx!
I've looked at a lot of these videos, and like your design best. Thanks!
Is this going to be an addition to the scale garage? That would be dope! Mini paint booth.
I’ll just keep painting under my carport since I’m only painting 1:64 scale. Good video tho and looks exactly like the ones on Amazon
Dude your stuff always amazes me!
A suitable cardboard box would be even cheaper.
Thanks. Gave me some even less expensive alternative ideas. I'll use a sturdy cardboard Balikbayan (Filipino shipping box) and a dryer vent hose routed out the back connected to an old, inexpensive window fan. Will use some spare filter material I have on hand in the rear of the box in front of the vent hole. I'll only be using acrylics, so fume combustion won't be an issue. I may even mount some LED lighting overhead protected by a clear, replaceable plastic shield. Since I have practically all these items on hand, my costs will be minimal.
Got some ideas, but i finished mine without using 3d printer 👍👌 peace🙏
Geniale !!!...fatto molto bene!!!
Excellent information Thanks
When you started with the cad and 3d printer part i left....
Me too
@@troyyarbrough Hell's teeth mate, just uses some small nuts and bolts for the same purpose. It's a great design.
I'd like to see someone make a portable booth out of a discarded PC tower, nice size housing, just build folding sides ,top & bottom ,( corrugated plastic or sign material) like the small mail order model, throw in a fan & filter :)
That's a neat idea. 👍
Nice little spray booth. Just A little suggestion I recommend picking up some cheap clamps and a metal square youll find you will use them alot
Wow... had high hopes for a weekend project until you went NASA on me. Nice video anyway. LOL
Cool vid just built mine out wood watching this it probably would have be easier this way 👍
White board at the dollar store or use a thick cardboard box (packing box works well) if you have central vac in the house your off to the races..
As a retired engineer nice design. Like to know where you got that in line fan? Thanks for sharing peace
You got me until the 3d printer stuff, I'd be happy with a cardboard box with a whole punched trough and a cpu fan
great video as always!
can you recommend a fan for lacquer/enamel?
Muchas gracias por compartir tus conocimientos.. Es muy fácil de hacer y estéticamente hablando, muy bonita..
Saludos desde Colombia 🇨🇴
Nice Job,White duct tape would look nicer
Thought the same...
simple or not, it is subjective and based on individual experience. But this is no way near cheap
Its very cheap.
Hardly quick, certainly not simple and definitely not cheap...
hour and a half to build less than $50 cost .home depot has everything here
@@xrrobiii9187 If you already own a 3D printer, that is.
@@raytheron Put about $50 in to mine as well. Cut up a broken broom handle for stand offs. you don't need a 3D printer, if you made the investment and want to put it to use great. If not its basically a fucking 1x2in cylinder, not exactly the most complex thing to make.
Autofan 74
You can't please everyone lol, and you have to basically do the job for them in order to make them happy. We're all a bunch of fuckwits these days, no one knows how to use their noggins anymore.
Sixty seconds into this video and I'm already thinking of ways to wire up and create a filtration system for this bad boy. Got a bag of electrical connectors from Range Rovers thanks to a recall, get me some dense filtration mesh from the old boy who's in the compressor industry, some 200mm PC fans and a 12v charger, boom!
Beats dropping 200 bucks on some of the store options I've seen here in Oz, build it to my specs and to my standards, can't beat doing things yourself.
Would anyone know what to search for in regards to these plastic panels he's using? Looks like plastic cardboard panels if you know what I mean, wonder if Bunnings has them.
Scratch that, My OCD couldn't handle the tape holding it together, I'll look to use MDF for mine. Just bought a brad nailer the other week too, sounds like a fucking plan.
A squirrel cage for an old GM car is dirt cheap. I have been looking for those sheets forever to fill in crate bottoms. Where did u get them? Great work as always. I'd say u are the best RC youtuber still working,
Great idea about using a GM squirrel cage motor. You can get the sheets for cheap in bulk from a sign company or ebay. You can also get them for free during/right after election season if you live in the US.
I'm just trying to get into hobby so I have a question: what are the requirements for a spray booth and is there any reason to build one (besides ventilating fumes out from the model)? I thought I just use an old PC case with a couple of good coolers
More firebird videos! Thats by far my favorite project to date
Great video ty,
I am a novelty cake decorator and will make this to airbrush my cakes, you just saved me a whole bunch of money!!! 🤗🤗🤗
Nice build, especially if you already have all the parts around. Better than a bucket in the yard and nowhere near the cost of the off the shelf stuff, that's not a bad spot to fit into, when you can. If you don't mind some advice, try not to start so many sentences with "I..." It's an odd habit I had to break myself. Before I was told I was doing it, I never had a clue and now I can't stop seeing it. What I found is that this little trick made write just a little bit differently and I almost always ended up adding something of use to the writing in the end. Regardless, your video quality is great and you are clearly putting real effort into this thing. I think you have good things coming your way. Keep up the good work, I'm enjoying the show.
The mounts seem superfluous, but were very cool... I think the whole filter could just be press fit.
Don't have a dremmel or a 3-D printer, but probably a cutter knife and soda caps will do!
Simple != Fusion360 + 3D printer.
Simple = cheap store bought screws/stand-offs.
Nice work.
Cardboard box. Done
How loud is that type of fan? Was looking at getting the same type of fan for a project
So cheap and simple because we all have that dusty, unused 3D Printer in the closet. :-)
Great ! Definitely an inspiration
Should a used a hot glue gun works awesome.nice job on it though 👍 I used 3/16 foam board a 20x30 sheet 1.99 at hobby lobby an used 3
Nice. I just open a window in my basement and spray away. Now Lacquer gets put on outside or the wife would kill me.
Thanks for share.
But, in my country. Its not Cheap ^_^
Must have 3D Printer To? hahaha..
I'm make it using sterofoam from CPU Case and Used Ex Gunpla Box
Hey, I really love your videos, but the backround music often sounds like the one of a 80's porn film :D
How do you know how music from 80' porn film sounds like?
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
BenGi551 you say that like it's a bad thing!
Makes me horny baby yeah!!!!!
I personally like the music and 80s porn.
Quick simple and cheap , I always use a cardboard box for painting my merv body works perfect
Cool
a few wing nuts, some tube and longer bolts will do the same job as those printed magnet holders... or duct tape if you can't be bothered with that even that level. otherwise, this is a good functional design
everyone is always worried about fumes being ignited by the fan, does anyone have any idea how concentrated the fumes would have to be in order to ignite fumes? You'd have to be painting a full sized car in order to have worries, besides, the aluminum hose most people use would not be harmed by the ignition anyways, not that that is an argument for using non-sealed fans. If you're worried about the fumes, being ignited then go and buy a sealed fan but you have to know that it's easy to seal a fan and attach heat sinks to cool it instead of air? anyone try that? I'm gonna check!
Half the people in this comment section have never had an independent thought. You don't need a 3d printer for this if you have even two functioning brain cells
...and the other half humorless trolls who can’t see how funny it is to go from “simple, dirt-cheap” to Fusion 360 with a 3D printer to create a complex magnet retention setup that then proved unnecessary. Situational humor is lost on too many people.
