120mm Knife Valve

thingiverse

Couldn't find a knife valve, and was tired of trying fancy apertures and other nonsense. See attached. The Knife valve should bolt in line with a 120mm fan. It also should work with my Qidi Tech Vent Kit: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2008891. Have fun! I'll post pictures once I have it printed. Also do note, you should be able to print this without supports. The bolt holes will be a little rough, and the inside won't be beautiful - but who is going to see it anyways? Finishing layers should print fine and it will look pretty. Update Added a photo of the main body, other than a slight lifting issue (not enough to reprint) it printed great. PLA 210C T0 and Bed 60c until layer 177, then 0c. I also updated the blade file, to add easier spots to grab it, and added in friction points for the valve so it will stay put (these may not flex enough, and if that is an issue I plan on reducing them with an xacto). *Update 2: Printed the blade, needed a little sanding as it was a touch thick. I added the Sketchup file, so feel free to reduce it yourself.
