Push out air vent

thingiverse

The Kawasaki Mule UTV I drive features an enclosed cab, boasting a fixed lexan windshield. With temperatures soaring above 100 degrees during the day, and stagnant air circulating inside the cab, I realized I needed to install air vents. These vents were inspired by those commonly used in small aircraft. They are designed to be flexible, allowing them to fit snugly into a hole in the window. Users can easily close or push them out to control airflow. A hole in the reinforcing rib provides added functionality. I designed these vents around the UniBit I have on hand, but they can be scaled up or down to accommodate different sizes. To ensure strength and heat resistance in sunny conditions, I printed these vents using PETG. When printing, it's essential to orient the largest flat side downwards. Support material will also be needed for the retaining lip.
