Window Ventilation

Window Ventilation

Window ventilation for safer printing in enclosed areas for use with 3" tubing from an enclosed 3d printer. This model allows for multiple-sized panels to fit the window entirely and combine exhaust from multiple 3d printers.

Material to Use

For best results, consider using PETG for UV protection or ASA. If the window faces the sun or will be exposed to the elements, determine a suitable material to ensure it can endure.

Considerations

The P1S or X1C is ideal with an enclosure as the panels prevent the enclosure from being sucked into the print area. Additionally, the AMS allows for the enclosure to not interfere with the spools. Mounting a spool on the back with the enclosure and suction can cause issues.
