Dust collection manifold?

Would love to find a ready to buy solution - or at least photos of something that has been created before (possibly with auto open gates).

Thoughts?

I'd be willing to work with you designing a manifold (and doing the CAD work) that could be 3D printed, say at Shapeways.com

Shouldn't be too difficult. Let me know.
 
Hmmm...a triple auto blast gate would have been nice to have today, and now I want one. RO90 with a D27 hose, OF1010 on another D27 hose, and a TS55 on a D36 hose. I had the three hoses in use today, and a triple tap plugged into the CT36, just need all the automatic blast gate components. At least today I had the right hoses plugged in for the tools I was using.
 
For my purposes a linear series of 3 or 4 ports makes more sense. I'm wanting to fasten it closely under the top of an MFT, and have the gates handy to reach.

A V shaped collector like you've drawn is probably more efficient in air flow, but would seem harder to mount, stabilize,  open/close the gates, and require two hands to change hoses.
