4-Way Automatic Printable Water Valve

thingiverse

It is a printable version of an automatic valve 3 servo controlled way. I drew inspiration from the project "(Customizable) Automated Diverter Valve" by TheHeadlessSourceMan. This remains a work-in-progress, if someone wants to test it and if anyone has any suggestions we might work to create a working and final version. Currently, I have not managed to achieve a completely leak-free version. You need to experiment with various seal configurations. Refer to the instruction below: Print Settings Printer Brand: RepRap Printer: EVO by NicolaP. Rafts: Doesn't Matter Supports: Yes Resolution: 0.2 Infill: 30/40% Post-Printing Requirements MATERIAL NEEDED: 6 x M3*30mm screws and M3 bolts 1 x Servo SM-S4303R (you may be able to replace this but it might not fit in the supports) 1 x Circular servo horn (you can find it in the servo package) 5 x O-rings (D=20mm d=15mm soft rubber) 1 x O-ring that you need to apply in "Deviatore 2" to prevent vertical fluid passage 1 x Rubber gasket to secure the perimeter of the valve (like the black one shown in the picture) Custom Section Instruction - The assembly order must be as shown in the exploded view in the picture. If you want a functional model, YOU MUST install the O-rings. - With a screwdriver, mount all screws and bolts and ensure that water cannot pass through the joints. You can find the position between the two parts where all the holes are aligned. - Apply some glue to the "deviatore_servo" in the upper part and secure it to the servo horn. - Mount the servo with the two screws you have probably found in its packaging. - Control the servo with an Arduino, but remember that you need to power the servo with a separate power line (like 5v regulator because the Arduino cannot supply all the current for this application). IMPORTANT NOTE: - You must manually smooth out any parts that don't fit together perfectly using fine sandpaper.
