Front window screen vent and rear cooling exhaust faux radiator vent.
I cut the front vent body hole smaller than the vent itself so it looks more realistic to the body.
I made the mistake first, of cutting the body hole too large for the rear vent and it is on the exterior of the body. I used two washers and nylon lock nuts to secure both vents to the body.
After some moderate bashing, the PLA and attachment hardware seem to be holding up quite well thus far.
I redesigned the rear vent to more closely resemble the original image decal on the factory body compared to this image.
The front vent took less than 35 min or so. With Matthackers Blue PLA @ 205c Nozzle and 60c Bed.
The rear vent took about an hour with the exact same settings as the front vent.
NO SUPPORTS.
Printed with octoprint and octolapse enabled so your print times may vary.
I originally designed the parts to utilize 3mm button cap screws but realized that 2mm socket cap screws would look much more realistic, so that is what the screw hole size is intended to be with these models.
3mm screws will certainly work, however, the scale of the look gets diminished.
