Did someone build a custom 3/2 HP valve? If so, are there plans available?

Yes, Woody did build a balanced 3/2 FP valve. There are 2 in use. 1 in Tough As Nails (since 2002) and one in Woodies own machine KaPut.

Also, I have rebuilded in the past a LP 5/2 valve to be used @ FP. That went from solenoid activated to RC servo steered.
Woody improved that idea and now we have the grand total of 4 5/2 valves that can control FP with the solenoid.

Unfortunatly, all of those need LP to be activated.

Does that mean that they end up being heavy? Are there plans or pictures online?

Youll have to ask Woody on the plans.

And heavy. No improvement over a Burkert, unfortunatly.
Unless the servo controlled idea is used.

Thank you
