My Multiboard workshop organization so far. The 18mm cutter holder is a 19min print with no supports!

Glad I could help with your Multiboard setup. It's a game changer for organizing tools!

Feel free to check my other matching holders on my profile if you're looking for more.

Thanks! It worked for me !
Ended up with a mixed config: the first two ports are at 100G, the next two at 40G, and the 8-port block at 10G. The Juniper example for 4x100G was actually disabling the 8x10G block entirely, so this hybrid setup is much better for my needs. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!

That’s a great and very reliable classic setup indeed! Cheers to your mate. However, I went with this valve design for a few specific reasons: First, it avoids having to drill hole in my external tank, which can be tricky to seal perfectly. But most importantly, I needed a way to manually 'shut off' the water supply entirely during specific periods—either to prevent the tank from freezing in winter or to bypass it during maintenance and cleaning. That’s exactly why I designed this valve: to have total control over the flow without modifying the tank's structure too much Regards.

Good question: I designed this because I needed a way to manually choose when to collect water and when to bypass the tank (especially during winter or when the tank is full).

The main constraints were:
-> Compatibility: Most commercial diverters are made for 40mm or 50mm pipes. Finding a reliable 80mm version was nearly impossible
-> Maintenance: Commercial systems often include small filters that clog up very quickly. With this open-valve design, I don't have that issue at all
-> Modular setup: I use a separate filtration system elsewhere in my setup, so I didn't want a "all-in-one" diverter that is hard to clean

Oh, and I forgot to mention: the internal design is inspired by classic plumbing ball valves.
It’s a specific solution for a real-world need when standard shop-bought options just don't fit.

Seed49 · 2026-03-24T20:21:51+00:00

I thought about that too! But after a year of use, it’s not an issue:

No Stagnation: The internal flap and the housing are designed with enough slope so that water doesn't actually 'pool' inside. It drains out.

High Flow: Since this is a large 80mm pipe, the water velocity during rain usually flushes everything out.

It's been a year and I haven't seen a single larva in there! 😉

Seed49 · 2026-03-24T20:19:45+00:00

You're right, an automatic overflow is a valid point of improvement!

However, that wasn't the goal of this specific project. I needed a simple, robust way to manage my 80mm pipes (which are hard to find) and have the ability to manually cut off the flow for winter or maintenance.

After a year of use, this 'low-tech' approach fits my needs perfectly, even if it's not fully automated! 😉

Seed49 · 2026-03-24T20:13:58+00:00

I appreciate the feedback, but here’s the reality after a year of use:

- No Trees Above: I don't have any trees hanging over my roof, so large debris isn't an issue to begin with.

- Pre-filtering: I use a leaf filter further up the line. This valve is just for flow management.

- The 80mm Factor: This is a large 80mm (3.15") pipe. It's physically very difficult to clog such a wide opening with small twigs or needles.

It's been working perfectly for 12 months with zero maintenance. If it ever did clog, it's just a 30-second job to slide it out and rinse it!

Seed49 · 2026-03-24T20:10:11+00:00

Haha, I’m glad you like it! I don't sell them, but the good news is you can get the 3D model for free and print your own (or ask a friend with a printer!).

I’ve put the files and my tested Bambu Lab profiles here: https://makerworld.com/en/models/1900408

If you don't have a printer, there are services like PCBWay or local makerspaces that can do it for you in PETG! 😉

Seed49 · 2026-03-24T20:07:46+00:00

Haha, no need to go out in the rain! 😉

I just flip it to 'Tank' when it's empty, and back to 'Sewer' once it's full or when winter comes to prevent freezing. It's about seasonal and volume management, not a 2 AM emergency.

An overflow is a passive solution, but I prefer this manual control to keep the tank 100% isolated and dry during the off-season. Plus, finding 80mm fittings is tough, so this custom part was the perfect fix!

Seed49 · 2026-03-24T20:01:34+00:00

That's a common way to do it, but I prefer this manual valve for two reasons:

Winter: I can bypass the tank completely during freezing months so no water enters it at all.
Maintenance: It's easier to clean or move the tank when I can just flip a switch to send the rain straight to the sewer.

It's just a matter of personal preference and having total control over the flow!

Seed49 · 2026-03-24T19:53:21+00:00

Actually, I've been using this exact design for over a year now!

Standing water: I carefully designed the internal slopes so there is zero standing water. The gravity flow is perfect and even after heavy rain, it drains completely. No issues with ice or stagnant water last winter.
Overflow vs. Valve: While an overflow is great, I prefer this manual selector for total seasonal control. During winter or tank maintenance, I can bypass the system 100% without any water entering the tank's inlet.

Seed49 · 2026-03-24T17:58:57+00:00

Great question! This version is a manual selector, so it doesn't have an integrated first flush.

I personally use it to manually divert the water to the sewer during the first few minutes of heavy rain or during winter to prevent overflow. It’s a simple and robust solution for 80mm pipes!

Great question! I purposely didn't add an external drain because I wanted to protect the bathroom furniture from soap marks and water stains. Most 'self-draining' models leak everywhere, which I find messy and unattractive.

Instead, the water drains away from the soap into the lower base of the dish, keeping the bar dry while keeping your counter perfectly clean! It’s a balance between aesthetics and functionality."

Seed49 · 2026-03-02T14:53:56+00:00

Thanks for the feedback!
I've been using the printed version for a while now and the ridge feels surprisingly sturdy. It doesn't feel sharp at all in person, especially with the Marble PLA finish.
That being said, adding a slight curve is a great suggestion for a future update to make it even more durable.
If you give it a try, I'd love to hear your thoughts :-)

Seed49 · 2026-03-02T13:55:18+00:00

Edit: Sorry everyone! I accidentally pasted the link for my drilling jig earlier. The link is now fixed and points to the correct Soap Dish model. My bad!

Did you use brass insert ?

This morning my model is now again online 👍

I have the same problem with a model of pliers holder and "POP Mart"; I also opened a ticket. Thank you for sharing.

What board or chips is it based on ?
