Portable Air Conditioner Quick-Connects

prusaprinters

<p>I was having problems with our portable air conditioner's exhaust hose popping off of the window cover. So, I designed a quick-connect to solve this problem. This should fit most portable A/C units with a hose diameter of about 144mm.</p> <p>-There is a bracket (clip, window side) that attaches to your window cover using M5 or equivalent screws<br/> -A connector that attaches to the A/C hose (clip, hose side) also using M5 or equivalent screws.<br/> -a cover that can be used to block the hole in your window cover when the A/C is not in use. Since all of the parts are designed to print easily with no support, there isn't a great seal between the cover and the window bracket.</p> <p>All parts are designed to be printed without support, and should work with just about any rigid material. You'll have to re-orient the parts to lay flat on your build platform. Use 25%+ fill density for sufficient strength.</p> <p>Solidworks files are included for your remixing fun.</p> <h3>Print instructions</h3><p>Unassociated tags: air conditioner</p> <h3>Category: Household Summary</h3> <p>I was having problems with our portable air conditioner's exhaust hose popping off of the window cover.
