Dryer Vent Louver Slat

thingiverse

One of the slats in the louver for my dryer vent basically disintegrated. I really need to replace the whole thing, but when I bought a replacement, it wasn't the same size and wouldn't fit the way the one I currently have is installed. So temporarily, while I try to figure out where I bought this, who knows how many years ago, I decided to create a temporary replacement. I don't know the make or the model. If I end up figuring that out at some point, I will mention it here, but it is for some dryer vent cover that I probably bought at one of the home centers sometime in the last 20 years. I looked for models that other people had created, and even downloaded a couple, but they didn't seem to be quite the right size, or quite the right shape, so I just made my own. The original was curved front and back. I just curved the front to match the original and left the back flat for easy printing and then used a 10% infill so it would still be light enough that the air could push it open. It seems to be working. Would probably be best printed in white, but I didn't have any on hand.
