Remote Controlled & Manual Ball Valve Blast Gates (Digital Plans)
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 can be remotely controlled with simple electronics.  These gates are designed to work with 100mm (4") dust collection systems.

Pipe Dimensions:
  • OD: 100mm / 107mm
  • ID: 96mm / 103mm

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.
  • Remote-controlled option - open and close gates from anywhere in your shop using plug-and-play electronics.
  • Beginner friendly - no coding, no soldering, no complex wiring, just 3D print and assemble.
  • Manual version included - 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 four different versions of the ball valve dust collection system.  You'll find digital files to print:
 
  • Standard remote controlled ball valve gate
  • Standard manual ball valve gate
  • Manifold remote controlled ball valve Gate
  • Manifold manual ball valve gate
  • Updated manifold manual ball valve gate
 
Servo Plates to suit different servo motors:
  • Micro servo motor (1.5kg) (Not recommended for the 107mm version, 100mm only)
  • Medium servo motor (5.1kg) NEW
  • Large servo motor (20kg)
 
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.
 
You'll also find links for suggested and required hardware, as well as all the configuration files I used for the Bambu Labs Cyberbrick application.
 
If you've made it here from the video, thanks for watching and supporting!  If not, and you're curious about the journey and story, then go check it out on my youtube page!
 
IMPORTANT: 
No hardware included, this is for the digital files only to print your own.
A list of the hardware required (or recommended) is included with the digital files.

  • All files can be printed using standard PLA or PETG if preferred.  

    Please ensure you understand your 3D printer.  The fit and performance of your gates will rely heavily on the accuracy of your printer and the tolerances it's capable of.

    Take into consideration the environment you'll be using this in, and account for humidity and temperature when choosing your filament type.
