Remote Controlled & Manual Ball Valve Blast Gates (Digital Plans + Arduino System + Cyberbrick)
Upgrade your dust collection system with this complete set of 3D-printable blast gate designs: now updated to include the latest electronic control system, Arduino-based automation, and all previous versions!
This pack brings together every version of the project to date, including the original Bambu Labs CyberBrick setup and the latest upgraded electronics platform.
Whether you want a simple manual gate, a remote-controlled system, or a fully automated workshop setup, this package gives you everything you need to get started.
What This System DoesPrint and build your own ball valve blast gates that can be:
- Operated manually.
- Controlled remotely via RF remotes or Bambu Labs Cyberbrick.
- Expanded into a fully automated dust collection system using Arduino.
The updated system introduces improved reliability, expanded functionality, and a more flexible electronics platform for those who want to take it further.

DIY Remote Controlled & Manual Blast Gates - Complete Pack
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.
