Ball Valve - Education Model

Ball Valve Educational Model – 3D Printed Functional DemonstrationDescriptionThis 3D printed ball valve model is designed as a clear and practical educational tool for demonstrating the working principle of a quarter-turn ball valve.The red handwheel actuates the internal ball. By rotating the handwheel 90 degrees, the bore either aligns with the flow channel (open position) or turns perpendicular to it (closed position).This makes the model ideal for explaining:The quarter-turn operating mechanismOpen vs. closed valve positionsFlow alignment and shut-off principleBasic fluid control conceptsThe design is optimized for easy printing and assembly, making it a great project for educational environments, technical schools, and makerspaces.Assembly InstructionsAssemble the blue housingPut the housing parts together and roughly align the mechanical stops.Insert the ballPlace the ball inside the housing.Attach the handwheelConnect the handwheel to the ball.Before fixing it in place, check th
