Pass 1
Increased the size of holes for better airflow
Added cutout to decrease the sealing surface contact area to reduce sticking from moisture, reduces the force required to open the valve
Realigned inlet plate so it has less chance of sticking out
Added divot around the inlet plate hole to allow cutting the tape without risking damage to the diaphragm
Added spiral exhaust tubes to help lengthen the exhaust airpath and lower the risk of backflow
As a result, no longer needs supports when printed
Pass 2
Added test results table to document component testing
Added more specific assembly instructions
Add approximate print time to valve comparison table
Pass 3
Reduce knob fillet radius to reduce overhang for support-less printing
Increase knob cutout radius for comfort
Change inlet plate <-> valve body mating surface to angled to avoid diaphragm getting stuck
