Blast Gate/Valve and Dust Collection System with Magnetic Connectors [Customizable]

thingiverse

For my small woodshop, i have to use my dust collection ports for multiple tools. So its important to have an quick and easy connection and disconnection. I just found regular blast gates, but no smart solution for that problem. So i designed it complete by myself. The main blast gate design is not new, but i improved it a little bit. i dont want to reduce the radius while the gate is open. i simply added an gap for the stop pin. The blast gate consists of 4 Parts. Part 5 is the connector for the blast gate. You can also use Part 5 to connect 2 pipes together. For the quick connection and disconnection, i glued magnets in the front port. I highly recommend 10x3 (or 10x5) N52 magnets like these https://aliexpress.com/item/32871931513.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.11b44c4dokk8cs It's fully Customizable, so you don't have to scale or remix other Designs here an Thingiverse.
