Nerdtronic Vent 4" Tubes (Original Version - See Notes)

thingiverse

This is Not the One I Printed in the YouTube Video I'm posting a ventilation box designed to pull fumes out of a 3D printer and send them outside. This unit can be mounted on the wall, feeding into a 4" dryer hose that goes outside. It features two intake tubes, allowing you to attach two 4" hoses. You can find this design on my YouTube channel: Nerdtronic Check out my latest video here: https://youtu.be/Lm73O-6UqcY However, I'm actually posting the First Version of the Vent Box that I Designed, Not the One I Printed in the Video. I never printed this version; instead, I redesigned it after realizing my hoses were 3 inches, not 4 inches. You can find the Redesigned Version here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4181012 For the outside vent hood, head over to Lowes: https://www.lowes.com/pd/Lambro-Dryer-Vent-... The fan I used is available on Amazon: https://amzn.to/2Se9TN7. I made a few tweaks to this design before posting it here: • I tweaked the tolerances slightly so that it would fit together better. • For example, I added more space for the fan so it should slide in easier. • I enlarged the counter sink chamfers to help the screws fit better. In the original version with the screws I used, they stuck out a little and made it difficult for the fan to slide in. • I added four more screw holes in the outer corners of the base plate. You can use either the inner screw holes or these outer ones; the outer ones should be stronger. I do recommend using anchors if you're putting it into drywall. Also, I used wood screws for this design, and it's intended for that. Please see the video to learn how to assemble it. Feel free to borrow the design and make modifications. However, I would appreciate it if you let me know if you do. If you print and install this send me a photo: michael@nerdtronic3d.com
