By popular demand, we now have custom sized gates!
Upgrade your dust collection system with this 3D-printable blast gate design, available as a set of digital print files.
Print and build your own ball valve dust collection gate that are designed to work with 63mm (2.5") dust collection systems. An assortment of gate sizes have been included to cater for a wide range of pipes! (see below)
Pipe Dimensions:
- OD: 64.5mm / 66mm / 66.5mm
- ID: 61.5mm / 63mm / 63.5mm
These gates have been designed from the ground up to solve common workshop frustrations:
- Low-profile valve design - saves space compared to traditional sliding gates.
- Manual version - perfect for gates where remote control isn't needed. Uses simple magnets to lock in place.
What’s included:
This digital download contains all the STL files you need to 3D print all three versions of the ball valve dust collection system.
UPDATE: 28/10/2025
Due to popular demand, I've now included a .3MF file that Orca Slicer will support. There are now 2 build plate files, one supported by Bambu Studio, and one supported by Orca Slicer.
