4" slide gate valve for shutting off my printer cabinet exhaust when it's not in use.

4mm bolts used, 16mm long Not support needed but you'll need to orient the parts in the correct direction.

I printed it and it works well (pictures attached). It's a medium duty piece. I could make a heavy duty one of someone is interested, but the current design takes 10 plus hours to print already. A heavier one with a 5mm thick body could take 15 hours plus to print.

V5 makes the flange wall thickness 1mm thicker. If you have any problems where it's too tight or loose, just reprint the spacers, not the other parts which take much longer to print.
