bathroom exhaust fan to laser cutter exhaust

thingiverse

This is an adapter I made to allow my unused bathroom exhaust fan to act as an exhaust for my laser cutter. It is designed to be used with 4" dryer exhaust flex pipe. I live in north dakota, so having a vent out the window isnt an option in the winter. Two way tape was used to secure the object to the ceiling. I have included two files, one that fits large format printers like my FT-5, and a smaller 180X180 version that will fit most other common 3D printers, such as prusa I3 and clones. This file was printed with 4% rectilinear infill with 5 top solid layers, 3 bottom solid layers, and 3 outline/perimeter shells. If you find your printed part is too weak I recommenced increasing the number of outline/perimeter shells. Designed in fusion 360.
