I'm starting to prepare for next year already and I was thinking of making snow machine...the basic design is a blower, some sprinklers that spray foam, with a cloth bag over them that the air blows into. I have done a bit of research (not a lot as you can gather).


Has anyone done this or got any tips?

I have seen that video and a few others...


BensChristmasLights - did you rent the unit or do you own it? Your wording suggest you don't have it anymore or that it didn't last, I was just curious as I have seen quite a few around the $100 mark on ebay and with all cheap things on ebay you wonder about the quality and life span of them, (I have been burnt, but really cant complain with the price I paid)

I own it and I am think about getting another one so I can have snow in 2 corners. I hire nothing for my display.

the same one I own will cost you $40 a day to hire and at the 6 days I used it I would have paid more for it that way

I had 3 jaycar one's the previous year and the one new one from DJ city outperformed all 3 of them.
I went thru up to 20lt's of Juice every night as it ran every 3 mins for 3 mins during a song.

Do you have these controlled at all (and if so, how?) or just plug in and let them go during the entire show?
