E36 Passenger Vent Controls

thingiverse

If you've owned an old BMW you know the plastic loves to just disintegrate. I was lucky enough to find a design that I remixed that was 80% there but needed some work. I made some adjustments and now works great and easy to assemble. I appreciate the work the original designer put into it to get me this far. For full assembly you will need to print the following: - 1x E36 Passenger Vent Knob - Left - 1x E36 Passenger Vent Knob - Right - 2x E36 Passenger Vent Lever - 4x E36 Passenger Vent Washer - 2x E36 Passenger Vent Knob Bushing Also needed: - 4x M3x8 Button Head Screws (use with E36 Passenger Vent Washer) - 2x M3x10 Button Head Screws (use with Passenger Vent Knob Bushing) Assembly video here (no sound): https://youtu.be/IumhXhk1Wwo Notes for Assembly: - Slightly pry on housing to slide the E36 Passenger Vent Knobs in. - Connect E36 Passenger Vent Connector and E36 Passenger Vent Lever before installing lever. - When installing E36 Passenger Vent Lever, ensure tabs of vent damper are aligned with the recesses in the lever before pressing in. - If lever assembly is too tight when trying to work it, slightly loosen the washer screws 1/2 turn. - Add some white paint to the marker on the front of the knob if you prefer. Printing Notes: - This was designed around printing with ABS and using a .6 nozzle, .4 layer height. Printing with other material and/or nozzle may require alterations or slight adjustments to scale.
