Project: Slime Compressor Re-Housing

Compatible Models: WindGallop light blue compressor

Required Materials (BOM)

  • Glue: B6000 or RTV Silicone

  • Filter: Replacement filter foam

  • Fasteners: 1x Zip-tie (small/medium)

  • Original Parts: Compressor unit, switch, and power cable


Phase 1: Disassembly & Prep

  1. Strip the Case: Remove and discard the original plastic housing.

  2. Salvage Components: Carefully remove the compressor unit, switch, and power cable. Set these aside for reuse.

  3. Modify the Motor: Using a rotary tool or hacksaw, cut the fan shaft (including the fan) off the motor.

    • Note: Ensure the cut is clean and does not interfere with the motor's rotation.

  4. Optional: Remove the suppression capacitors from the motor.


Phase 2: Wiring & Electronics

  1. Solder Connections: Solder the original power cable and switch back onto the motor terminals.

  2. Strain Relief: Position the power cable at its exit point and secure it tightly with a zip-tie. This prevents the solder joints from breaking if the cable is pulled.

  3. Test: Briefly power the unit to ensure the motor spins and the switch functions correctly before final sealing.


Phase 3: Final Assembly

  1. Seat the Unit: Place the compressor unit into the new main case.

  2. Seal the Chassis: Apply B6000 or RTV glue around the edges of the compressor unit to create an airtight/vibration-resistant seal against the case.

  3. Install the Lid: Apply glue/RTV to the small lid and press it firmly into place.

  4. Inlet Filter: Cut a piece of filter foam to the exact size of the intake opening. Press it in so it fully blocks debris from entering the pump.

  5. Curing: Allow the glue to cure for at least 24 hours (or per manufacturer instructions) before high-pressure use.
