Need help with ideas for aerosol auto release mechanism.
Hi all. I’m attempting to design a prototype for a remote trigger to release the contents of an aerosol / compressed air type of canister. Ideally it would puncture and release the contents thru tubes leading to nozzles. For the prototype I would be happy just to have a system that pressed down to release like the aerosol air fresheners in restaurant bathrooms that spray every few minutes. I would perfectly fine with previously existing tech. I have little experience in the prototyping space although I did have an idea for an injection molded product and bought a prusa printer and using tinkercad was able to produce exactly what I needed. Obviously this is nothing close to that but I would greatly appreciate anyone that could help point me in the right direction.
