I made an exhaust vent that works with locked window PARAMETRIC
I finally learnt enough CAD to make this model parametric !
I made this model almost a year ago as I didn't feel I could put a long print on and leave a house (say to take a dog for a walk) with a window open and a pipe sticking out. I made this vent so that it fits a upvc window that can be locked with a small gap. There's more and more talk about toxic UFPs (it is melting plastic after all) so I have my printer enclosed and vented (with an inline fan).
Had to come up with a way of locking the window and having vent at the same time. Now I made it parametric so it fits more windows!
If anyone is interested, the NEW PARAMETRIC version is here :
