Exhaust Fan Sofit Vent

Most vents for sofits don't fit my old house. 3D printing to the rescue

Exhaust Fan Sofit Vent

Background

I have an older home and the bathroom vent fan uses a smaller diameter than they sell now. Not wanting to have to try to inline some kind of reducer in-line, I just designed one to fit.

Assembly

You need a ring clamp and ladder and it is still a PITA to get installed. Probably also some caulk.

Things I Learned

  1. Give your parts some gaps between them if they have to connect in the real world.
  2. A lot of small holes can slow down rendering of a part if you're designing on an iPad. Best to do that last.
