Exhaust Vent Flap replacement

thingiverse

Looking for Covid Lockdown home improvement projects, <A HREF="https://www.thingiverse.com/geefer/designs">my buddy Geoff</A> made something like this for his home, and that reminded me that I could stand to do the same. Local hardware stores did NOT carry replacement flaps, and replacing the entire exhaust fixture would have made it into a much bigger project. Petg seems like an ideal material - and modelling the replacement was a snap - there's not much to it other than matching the proper dimensions. I doubt many of you will be able make use of this particular STL unless you happen to have the exact same fixture, but hopefully you might be inspired like I was to take it on as a simple and satisfyling little modelling/repair project! (This particular flap is 19cm x 5cm with pins that extend to 20.5cm if it DOES help you out)
