Tesla Model 3 Vent Cover

thingiverse

This is a custom vent cover for the Tesla Model 3. Since it's not feasible to shut off fan air flow independently between driver and passenger, this cover lets you effectively block airflow for either side. The vent cover consists of five parts: left end cap, right end cap, and three middle sections. I used 2-56 threaded rods to hold everything together, then wrapped the cover with 3M brushed black vinyl. The cover can be slid behind the center display when not in use (the vents are closed in that section). It has a slight friction fit so it shouldn't move around. You can slide it to either the driver or passenger side, and it stops before the side mirror directional vent, which also has a friction fit to hold it in place. When the fan is on high settings (e.g., 7+), it may lift upward a little due to air pressure, but it should still stay put and block airflow. Print all parts vertically if possible, without supports needed. I printed using ABS, with 100% fill and raft. Other materials and settings can be used of course. Update: I fixed the left piece (it was missing a tab), and added a "long" version, which is a single long middle piece (if you have a large format printer). There are also end cap and two additional parts now.
