It is a Patriot 105. Bought it during their first birthday sale and it sat for a year before I finally got a compressor. Everyone says their CS is amazing so I was going to reach out and see what they say.

Look forward to hearing what they end up telling you. Sounds like we have the same issue!

Sorry that happened to you SCV! Although the part about the cat is hilarious and definitely a cat move!

If it makes you feel any better my 2 cats kept me up from 4am this morning until I got outta bed at 530 because they had managed to find a mouse and presumably spent that entire time stalking and killing it 

 

Badgers are a great airbrush, definitely worth investing in spare needles, I just ordered a couple of spares I try to keep at least 2 on hand

There is a needle sharpening tool, but for the cost of it I figured it was cheaper just to buy new ones 

USA Airbrush supply currently has a 20% off sale (Code: HALLOWEEN20 valid until 5th Nov) and are handing out free Badger 3D primer samples for purchases over a $60... Badger has also strongly suggested they'll be running their HBD sale again next year too

 

I usually only have liquid come out of that area if I'm backwashing the brush or there is a blockage

Sounds like your o-ring could be busted though? Or it just wasn't on tight enough if it wasn't a blockage. USAAS also sell replacement parts for most of the airbrushes. I tried using beeswax to improve the seals around those areas but I guess I'm not skilled enough to apply it thinly enough and it just clogs everything up even more.

Hope it all gets sorted in the end! Their CS is pretty awesome (USAAS and Badger) I just bought some of the 3D printer primer and didn't buy and cleaner so they sent me a small jar for free (haven't tried it yet)

Small fiddly bits suck... my old GK's agree
