Window AC Side Vent Redirect

thingiverse

I installed a window AC basically right in front of my face next to my monitor and didn't realize it would dry out my eyes. I looked up some DIY's but they usually involved taping up foam or cardboard and looked like a mess. This is my simple design for my particular AC, you may need to modify it slightly for your use, like length. It has a slight incline in the channel to help guide the air towards the opening. I made it in two pieces in case you have a smaller bed, but ended up printing it standing up the long way. I used 2 part epoxy to glue them together, its a tight fit I didn't add in any tolerance. Originally I was going to use velcro to attach it, but couldn't find it so I added holes to slot/glue in some magnets. It's enough to hold it in place and easily removable, but velcro would be stronger, as the vent can fall off it I bump it hard enough with magnets. I also added a bit of length to the top lip to get past the plastic front cover of the AC so the magnets can engage better. The only change I didn't have time to make is to round out the outer edges to make it look smoother.
