Exomotive Exocet Hood Vent V1

thingiverse

This is a straightforward vent grill designed to fit the extractor hole I cut into the hood of my Exocet. Nothing on the market seemed suitable for my car's application, so I decided to design it myself. If you're looking for inspiration for your own project, feel free to take a look at this design. Keep in mind that the best location for an extractor vent on your vehicle may vary, and I make no recommendations. I'm providing two versions of this part: one without a leading edge lip intended to create a low-pressure area over the extractor hole, as I've installed an aluminum angle lip for that purpose in my own car. The second version features this lip. Since my printer isn't large enough to print the entire piece at once, I had to split the model into two parts and print the right and left sides separately before gluing them together post-printing. This approach works well. You'll find both monolithic and left/right STL files for each version of the extractor grill in this download. The prototype print shown in my photos was made using PLA, but I recommend printing with ABS, PETG, or nylon for durability and part longevity. My final print will be made from nylon. I wouldn't advise placing a plastic vent in areas exposed to extreme heat, such as over a turbocharger.
