Exhaust Vent For Flashforge Dreamer to 4" dryer vent

thingiverse

While I encountered some issues getting this to print, it turned out very functional. Printing ABS on the Dreamer causes the fans to turn on intermittently, but I believe that will be enough to remove most of the fumes. I plan to install it through an exterior wall next week and see how well it actually works. You'll need to purchase (6) M4-.70 x 30mm and (2) M4-.70 x 35mm screws; my Lowe's only had the 35mm, so they stick out in the picture. I would also suggest buying extra M4-.70mm nuts or plan on spending time finding the one that got away. Outside screws go in as originally positioned, but the inner four have the nuts on the outside of the printer due to space limitations. Print Settings Printer: Flashforge Dreamer Rafts: Yes Supports: No Resolution: Standard Infill: 20% Notes: I used ABS. My part started curling up and I had to add white school glue to keep it down, so I suggest using a raft. When it's loaded into Flashprint, it comes out small; I simply moved the decimal point to the right in the scale setting (10.16 = 101.6). Outside measurements are Z 3.63" x 7.98". Post-Printing Final result: I no longer get headaches while printing ABS. It takes a while for the fans to start cycling on and off, but I'm not smelling hardly any fumes at all. After installing the dryer vent through my office wall, I decided that I needed a shroud to cover up where I butchered the cheap paneling; it also helps seal out any drafts. How I Designed This Why I designed this: While I have been designing for over 30 years and have only been 3D printing for four days, there may be a better method for printing this. Let me know if you have better results than I did. I'm very sensitive to smells; the candle section in stores tears me up to the point where I'll turn around and go down a different aisle when I see or smell them. The fumes from ABS were giving me headaches, and even PLA wasn't much better. This adapter was designed using AutoCAD Inventor. While the part fits okay, the hole distance between the two inner fan screws at the top is a little far apart (due to it pulling up, I think, since the bottom ones fit great).
