3DUPFitters 60mm or 80mm Computer Fan to 3" and 4" Adapters

thingiverse

This design is specifically created to work seamlessly with 3DUPfitters enclosures, effortlessly hooking a standard 80mm computer fan to a standard 3" or 4" dryer vent. However, it can also be easily adapted for use in your own DIY enclosure. The reason behind this design lies in the fact that many people find the smell of plastic from a 3D printer to be extremely unpleasant, but there hasn't been much research on the long-term health effects of exposure to 3D printer fumes. Due to the varying nature of the particles and compounds released by different filaments, there's no standard method for filtering everything, especially since even the best HEPA filters can't capture the smallest particles. If you only print occasionally, the risk is relatively low, but if you plan on printing frequently (and particularly with multiple printers), what the CDC recommends is to vent the 3D printer gases outside using one of our vents paired with a standard dryer hose. They can also be easily connected to any DIY enclosure by simply creating the right-sized hole. These adapters will seamlessly transition from a standard 60mm or 80mm fan to a 3" or 4" dryer vent, readily available at most hardware stores. From there, you can either create your own DIY passage through a wall using dryer vent hardware, OR purchase a dryer vent window insert. Note that there is a separate file for each combination. This design requires a standard dryer hose clamp like the one found here: https://www.amazon.com/Adjustable-Stainless-Clamps-Collection-Automotive/dp/B07PDS9HG3/ref=sr_1_10?keywords=4%22%2Bclamps%2Bdryer%2Bvent&qid=1556231653&s=gateway&sr=8-10&th=1 For more information, please visit 3DUPfitters.com. https://www.3dupfitters.com/products/external-vent-kit
