There is a new wave of bubble blasters that are self-contained and use peristaltic pumps! No big dipping baths that make mess everywhere. You can take a $9 kid’s toy and hack it to run for HOURS! We have also included open-source files we designed so you can 3D print or laser cut holsters that make these Bubble Blasters portable and even WEARABLE!

This basic guide will get you started hacking your own bubble machines quickly and easily. Not much electrical experience needed!
