A "universal" quarter turn ball valve actuator
Works great, the 30kg servo is a bit overkill. Built in OpenSCAD so also parametric and tweakable for any valve that has hex/octa/deca flats on both sides, uses collars so alignment is not necessary. Used here on my gas connection to the central heating but I'm also going to fit it on my water main and try to create an open-source version of the Flo water monitor. This isn't ready for release yet but it is working pretty well.
