Description

This is a sliding air vent deflector that supports widths from ~18cm to 35cm. The left and right edges include a lip that can sit under the vent to help hold the deflector in place. I printed it in PETG for extra heat tolerance but PLA might also work depending on your heat output.

 

It holds together when placed on a surface because the larger piece grabs the front edge of the smaller piece while also wrapping / bracing it at the back. See the attached video.

This print was the MVP of my recent practical-print marathon. 😄 I live in the River Valley of Arkansas, where springtime likes to play a fun little game called “surprise humidity attack.” One minute everything feels pleasant, and the next minute the air has slapped you upside the head and vanished into the trees like a swamp cryptid. Several of my AC vents are under tables, under the bed, and under my desk, so the cold air was basically hiding under furniture while the rest of the house wondered why it was still sweating. This deflector fixed that immediately. Now the airflow actually gets pushed OUT into the room instead of creating a tiny arctic tundra under the furniture. Simple concept, huge difference in comfort. The print came out clean, sturdy, and fit perfectly. One of those practical prints where you install it and instantly think: “Oh. THAT’S how this was supposed to work.” 😂

I'm glad it's getting the cold air out from under the furniture and your print looks great in white!

Printed in ABS. Works great for a floor vent, though I would be worried if it was in a place that my kid could easily grab it because it falls apart easily.

Is one piece meant to slide inside the groove on the other and slide to adjust? It’s too tight to fit in the groove, am I missing something?

It slides but with tight tolerances that could be affected by your printer, filament etc. If you set the width without the smaller piece in the groove you may be able to then press it into the groove with a little pressure, fixing it at the desired width.
