Blast Gate HT/DN50 (Sperrschieber)
Description
Inspired by many other blast gates I found on Thingiverse, I created my own variant as requested by a friend, who wanted to connect multiple machines in his workshop to a single (industrial grade) vacuum cleaner. HT pipes (DN50, 50mm) had already been prepared. The result is an easy-to-print symmetric non-clogging version for 50mm pipes. Technically not a remix, but inspired by similar designs. The female connectors have an inside diameter for DN50 pipes, slightly conic design to ensure proper fit Each blast gate consists of - 2 main parts (top/bottom) - 2 spacers guiding the blade - 1 blade (slider) - optionally one or two TPU seals, but seems to work fine without them Additionally you'll need four M4 screws, at least 14mm long. The spacers are 0.1mm thicker than the blade to allow the blade to slide (3.1mm vs. 3mm). The pressure can easily be controlled by the 4 screws. The seals aren't really necessary, I tested the gate also without them and it seems to work fine as well. If in doubt, start with a seal on suction side first. Sorry that model picture generation in Thingiverse is still broken, tried to post some model pictures from the design instead. (And I will request some photos from my friend when the gates have finally been installed in the workshop) And "Download all files" is also still broken (hope Thingiverse will fix this soon). Please download individual files instead
