Powder Coating Robot Parts at home

Powder coated these for a friend’s son’s robotic competition entry. I’m using powder from Columbia Coating, the gun is from Harbor Freight. The oven is a home brewed afair built from galvanized roofing material, R14 insulation, and three old oven heating elements..
@jmn1993 Must be past your bedtime sweet cheeks.
@jmn1993 How mature.
Your shit… i can coat 10 times better than you with ma eyes closed.. Look out 4 ma vids.. ill school you on powder coating!!! motherfucker
@guardsman322 i got a 120 oven at harborfreight, it works for powder coat. if you want more details let me know
Any possible write up on the oven? I was thinking of making out instead of a conventional house oven due to the fact that i’m doing this for wheels and the fitment will become an issue.
Any help is appreciated.
@JlerchTampa in gona try to do some aluminium parts from mi bike , like pegs an foot guards! thanks 4 the tips !!!
@JlerchTampa im doing some powdering on my motorcycle, but i ran into a problem with the oven, my place has 110/120 outlets , oven its 220/240. how did you set yours up? do i have to build mine up?
@unit666industries Its ok, if I did it for a living I’d want a better one.. But it gets the job done…
@wasanoix 200C (400F) ‘ish’ depends on the material. So far so good.
what temperature the oven needs to reach?, i purchase a kit except for the oven , but im thinking of building one =D
hows that gun working out? any problems
let me get this right, you need to ground the metal before coating it, then make sure you coat it as even as possible then bake it? how long do you bake it for? and if you make mistakes like you shown whats the best thing to do to correct it?
@JlerchTampa
I haven’t done powder coating but first thing that came to my mind is to cover inside corners first and use more air pressure to get powder evenly spread. (More pressure only for inside corners). Is that how it’s done or do you also need to lower the voltage?
And what about more vacuum chamber videos? Plasma cleaning perhaps?
Good stuff. Thanks.
@guardsman322 You’d need 220, I think each element is 1500 watts for a total of 4500 watts. @ 120v you’d need 37.5amps, which is too much for a normal 110v outlet.
The elements are just old kitchen stove elements I robbed from a junk pile..
Jlerch, I’m interested in the oven elements. Can you run on 120V 20amp circuit or are they only for 220.
I think they came out really nice. It seems that gun you are using is a gun that a ton of companies put their name on. I just bought that same gun at Harbor Freight for $59 for the whole kit Made by Chicago.
Again those parts look really good.
@vman613 I did make my own chamber, But no plans, its just a metal box wrapped in fiberglass insulation, with an outside skin of thin aluminum and three oven heating elements.
@hangoutsumtime It doesn’t get that hot, 400F is just to cool for Zinc to do anything interesting.
@2r1f The foot control is just an on/off switch. Well it WAS an on / off switch, mine broke so now the power supply switch is the on / off switch and I don’t use the foot switch any longer.
How do you use the foot control on your powder gun? Does the foot switch vary the strength of the electrical charge or is it a simple on/off of electrical charge?

be careful with galvanized metal, zinc fumes
Did you make your own powder coat over, if so do you have some plans on how to make one.
lol daheim im dachboden oder was!!!??? hammer da tut mir das pulverherz weh^^
dasist keine Pulverung.das ist dummes farbe daran schmeisen. do you not seak german,to lern
