Description

Parametric Window Vent System

This is a fully customizable window vent system designed to solve the "one size fits none" issue with static models. Inspired by community designs on MakerWorld and Printables, this version is built to be adjusted for your specific window frame and printer bed size. V2 uses a dovetail joint to connect the pieces instead of dowels and tape in v1.

How to Customize

Click the Customize button (located below the print profiles) to generate your 3MF.

Key Parameters:

Window Lip Thickness & Window Size: Ensures a snug fit in your specific frame.
Hole Size: Adjust this to match your AC hose or fan diameter.
Section Count: Split the model into multiple parts so it fits on your specific build plate.
Advanced Settings: Additional parameters are available for fine-tuning the geometry.

Assembly & Sealing

Slide each piece together on the dovetail joints to connect them together. Depending on your tolerances you may need to use some pressure or a mallet to seat them flat.

For the best results I recommend to apply foam stripping at the outer edges to create an airtight seal against the window frame. I used 1 inch foam tape on either side.

Suggested Components

I designed this to be modular. In my final setup, I combined this vent with the following models using the Bambu Studio "Assemble" feature:

hi. I’m having trouble deciphering what each of the parameters are. here’s a photo of my window. Thinking of putting the vent on the very outside pane.

@Doudnikov

I updated all of the comments for each parameter in the customizer. When I am able I will make a diagram and add it to the images of this models post. I would suggest you start with the parameters below: window lip thickness - you can use the thickness of the part of the window that will rest on the top hole size - depends on what kind of vent/duct size you will be using total length - this is how long the entire model will be when assembled (left to right) amount of parts - depending on the printer you have, you will need to separate the total length into sections that fit on your print bed (total length / bed size = amount of parts, round up the number you get to have the actual part count) There is a bug where a dovetail is improperly placed when you change the amount of parts, this can be fixed by doing some splitting and merging in the slicer. I will fix this when I am able, but for now please see the comment thread from @user_1023338544 and I on this model.

Replying to @Doudnikov :

Sounds great! Thank you for the quick response. BTW, I think the parametric model code is broken. Nothing is loading now

@Doudnikov

Replying to @lumaphotos :

Does nothing load when you click generate? Perhaps one measurement is too small, which may break it. I can’t constrict ranges for the values. Could you please share a screenshot of the generate page with the parameters you’ve changed visible so I can debug it?

@user_1023338544

Love the parametric model! Great work and thanks. Ideally this would have another smooth side piece (without the hose hole). That is, the filler pieces all have tongue and grooves, so you end up with a tongue without a matching groove on the left side of the window.

The designer has replied

@Doudnikov

This would be an error in my parametric design. It should end with a flat piece with no dove tail. Could you share the parameters you used so I can recreate and fix it?

@Doudnikov

As a quick fix, you can cut the dovetail off your second piece (yellow left side in your image) and use the last piece as the spacer in its place.

Replying to @Doudnikov :

Thanks for the quick response. I did just chop off an extra tongue from one piece; no big deal. Just wanted to let you know in case you wanted to fix the model. Like I said before, great work on it!

@PurpleDragonLLC

some measurements are using mm what is used for the height as not all are posted on the customize

The designer has replied

@Doudnikov

All should be mm, I will update next versions comments to be clearer.

@Doudnikov

They are now updated in the customizer.

Awesome job with the parametric. The fit is perfect and exact and the quality of the model overall cannot be beat! Thanks again!

@user_360978023

I am trying to figure out on the top where the window comes down onto the vent, why is their drain holes on the inside of the window? If it's raining, wouldn't you want all the water to drain outwards?

The designer has replied

@Doudnikov

My window bottom has a seal strip built in which has kept the water outside

@user_3929678405

would you happen to have a dual opening version? i'm trying to find a solution for a dual hose ac unit 5" hoses similar to this

The designer has replied

@Doudnikov

After customizing, you could subtract another hole from the model using a cylinder primitive shape in Bambu studio

Cheers thanks

Well deserved boost. Still working on merging the other parts to your model but it works great alone as well. Thanks again

@MDotSnow

This looks fantastic. I’ve got a resin printer and an airbrush booth that I’m trying to set up with permanent exhaust vents, and so far this is the best design I’ve come across. My window opening is 533.4 mm long—what would you recommend if I want to adapt this design to fit two vent holes?

(Edited)

The designer has replied

@Doudnikov

You can use the customize button to modify things like hole size and length. For putting two holes into it, you could subtract a cylinder primitive shape into whatever you generate for the second hole. You can also consider using one output vent and some kind of Y combiner to combine the two ventilation systems into one exhaust hole, but you may need some form of back draft on each line so gasses don’t back flow.

@Mjapo

My window opens horizontally, is there a way to adjust it for my window in the customization menu?

The designer has replied

@Doudnikov

You should be able to install it horizontally or vertically. The customizer lets you change the dimensions to fit your window. Could you share a photo of the window? It would help me understand what changes you’d need.
