Graffiti spray gun (can gun) will be a great addition to Keerbot, something that connects to a can and operates it.
KeerBot is great, that’s for sure. (I am completely objective), but it still needs to be able to draw on/draw off. I developed an mechanism for spraying (here), and it works great, but it is too clumsy, so I though – Someone probably already made something for that, some Graffiti spray gun, I searched the net, Amazon, AliExpress, MadeInChina and DealExtream and came out with few findings: the term for the search is “Can gun” and here are some products.
This product is meant to be mounted to a spray can and paint by pulling the trigger instead of pressing on the top of the can:
My idea is to get one of those (I ordered 2 from Amazon, rgds SElany!) and to hack them to be operated by Servo motor. If I will succeed, price wise it will be much more effective since it costs between 3.5-5.5$ and can be purchased easily, so stay tuned for my blog. much more will come soon!
(by the way – If someone saw/knows of an alternative solution to operate spray paint cans using servo, or any other simple way, or knows a hack for that, please reply in the post,

Why is it “clumsy”?
It has many moving parts that needed to be manufactured, an assembly of them should be done, many places for trouble.
