Drip Irrigation Water Valve

thingiverse

This is a custom-designed water valve for use with 4mm ID, 7mm OD drip irrigation tubing. The garden hose connector features a standard female 3/8 inch thread. I created this valve using Natural PETG material and printed it at a layer height of 0.35mm, incorporating supports specifically designed for the Container Top and Bottom. The design includes attachments that enable manual control over one of the connectors or the use of an MG-995 servo motor. To ensure watertight seals, users will likely need to apply food-grade sealant around any holes in the container wall. When printing gaskets, it's recommended to use a flexible material such as Flex/TPU for optimal performance. If you have suggestions for improving this design, please don't hesitate to share your ideas.
