Simple string driven 2" blast gate

thingiverse

This is a simple and fast to print 2" blast gate that i designed for a friend of mine. The gate can be opened and closed with a string that attaches to the holes in the gate if it is not directly accessible by hand. I recommend printing the connection piece in PETG and printing against a glass bed to create a good seal. Install the gate with the "glass-bed side" facing the vacuum.
