Can You 3D Print an Air Compressor?
In this video I design and assemble my own air compressor. I also explain how an air compressor works, I solve gas and pressure equations and calculate the forces acting on the thing. I plan to obtain compressed air with this air compressor and run air motors and pneumatic actuators in the future.
