Pressure regulator design
Posted: Sun Mar 31, 2013 3:09 pm
Good day spuders,
I'm kinda new to this scene and was hoping to get some advice. So here the story, I had already ordered a paintball marker from a local dealer and am really looking forward to be a paintballer. However, its taking longer then expected for my marker to arrive due to the lauzy service from my supplier. Then it hit me, why not make my own marker? So I did some research and came over this design for a pressure regulator that I think came from this forum. (I don't remember whose design is this but if you know, please inform me so that I may approach the person)
I made a model of it on SolidWorks and made a few tweaks. There are no actual dimensions yet but I'm hoping to change that in the near future. So the question I would like to ask is, if this design would work like a sprinkler valve? and how do I determine what dimensions to use so that I can contain the air pressure without catastrophic failure? Do have a look and if there is any advice or inquiries, please don't hesitate.
