Kitchen Hood Air Deflector Grille

Joyce

Model Purpose:
Due to insects entering through the air deflector of the cooker hood, I designed a 3D-printed grille to prevent this issue. As the solution worked correctly, I decided to share the model with the Bambulab community.

Printing and Assembly Instructions:
The system comprises several parts to avoid using supports during printing. A 0.6 mm nozzle and Bambulab PLA WHITE filament are used.
The outer casing is fixed to the tube with a single self-tapping screw, usually included with the deflector. Parts can be glued or joined with 4 mm M4 screws.
The top hat is printed straight and, once finished, is heated about 10 cm away using a ceramic hob on both sides. When hot, it is placed on the deflector and manually molded if a rounded shape is desired.

Assembly Order:

1. Insert the ring into the tube.
2. Place the grille piece.
3. Install the deflector.
4. Assemble and attach the other parts.
5. Secure everything with a single screw.
6. Place the top hat.

See the plate where it indicates DO NOT PRINT to see how to assemble.

I hope this is useful, as I searched everywhere and no one had thought of something like this, or at least I didn't find it.
