Clip-on Dryer Vent Guard

cults3d

This is a clip-on vent guard for my dryer vent. After noticing our dryer wasn't drying clothes well anymore, we found an entire bird nest inside the dryer vent. This is hopefully going to keep birds from deciding our dryer vent is a good place to nest. It's not perfect as you can see, but should be good enough to keep birds out. I have to climb a ladder to get to my vent, and it was hard to do that and hold the calipers and get good enough measurements... so I did my best. I printed it with clear PETG to be more heat-resistant. I set my print settings to print with 6 perimeters so that it would just print in loops rather than trying to do zig-zags to fill in the guard area. It was shaking my printer to death.
