I made this direct driven ball valve to control the flow of steam out of my DIY boiler, it acts like a proportional valve.
This design is more compact and easy to build than geared ball valves.
I used a 1/4 NPT 304L stainless steel ball valve (you can find some on the web for 5 euros), and it's driven by a MG996R servo.
The program used on the Uno is "Knob" from the servo library.
I think it can be improved, feel free to comment.
Happy printing!
