4-Way Automatic Printable Water Valve

thingiverse

It is a printable version of an automatic valve 3 servo controlled way. I took inspiration from the project " ( Customizable ) Automated Diverter Valve " by TheHeadlessSourceMan . This is still a project in development , if someone wants to test it and if anyone has any suggestions we might work to create a working and final version. At this time I have not managed to get a completely no water leaks version . You have to test various configurations of seals. See the instruction 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 (probably you can change this but it may not fits 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 (you have to test the dimensions) that you have to apply in "Deviatore 2" to avoid vertical fluid passage 1 x rubber gasket to secure the perimeter of the valve (as the black one you see in the picture) Custom Section Instruction -The assembly order must be that of the exploded view in picture. If you want a functional model you MUST add the O-rings. -With a screwdriver mount all screw and bolt and secure that wather cannot pass through the jont. you can find the position between the two parts with all the holes axis are coincident -Apply some glue to the "deviatore_servo" in the upper parts and fix it to servo horn -Mounts the servo with the two screws you have probably found in its packaging -Control the servo with an Arduino but remember that you have to power the servo with a separate power lines (like 5v regulator beacore arduino cannot supply all the current for this application) IMPOSTANT NOTE: -You have to finish all the parts that don't fits in each other manually with fine sandpaper
