What it does
- Fits two nozzle sizes (3.15mm and 4.53mm) so you can refill almost any aerosol can
- Connects to a standard air gun, letting you pressurize old cans and use the leftover liquid inside
- Includes a thumb rest for extra grip when you need more control during refilling
- Prints without supports, saving you time and material waste
- Brings dead aerosol cans back to life so you stop throwing away half-full bottles
Your old aerosol cans don't have to go to waste. This 3D-printed adapter lets you refill dried-out cans with fresh air pressure, so you can use every last bit of product inside.
The adapter works with standard air guns for dust cleaning and handles two common nozzle sizes. A built-in thumb rest gives you the grip you need when pressure builds up. Print it with the circular base down, no supports required.
Safety matters: keep air pressure under 3 bar, wear eye protection, and understand the risks before you start. This design works best with cans that still have liquid but lost their pressure.

Printed plastic is strong for its size, but it is not metal. We have not load tested this design, so we do not publish a weight rating. Keep it out of a hot car and away from open flame.
