I made vent deflectors for the under seat vents that you can 3d print.


Recommended Posts

I didn’t even realize that my truck had vents for the back passengers. My fiancé’s boys always complain about how hot it gets back there & I usually run the AC super cold. After reading this thread I scooted my seat all the way forward to see that the vent seems squished in & is partially blocked by the Rear carpet. Do these extensions spread open the existing vents?

Dang, that’s dirty! I need to vacuum under there! 
And I watched the video which answered my question. No, these just slip on over the existing ducting & direct air over the carpet & up a bit. I’m thinking a quick fix could be a little cardboard or something until I come up with something more permanent.

I had a buddy make a set for me from the print you posted. My diver side went on with ease. The passenger side collapses the OEM vent when Input the deflector on. Should I take a slit out of the OEM vents so it doesn’t collapse or run it?

Hi Guys, I have noticed that a lot of the vents or air ducts under the seats of these trucks are covered or partially covered with carpet. Because of that I modeled up some adapters that you can print on a 3d printer and slide on the vents/ducts under the seats so the air is deflected upward and they keep the carpet from covering the vents. I made a video showing how they work and I put the link too the 3d printer files in the description so you can download and print your own.

I just got my 3D printer up and running and I was curious what 3D modeling software you are using to build these models?

 

I've been searching around and watching video's on different free version and just wondering what you have been using.

I'd take a set if you make some.

#3 - There is a mod that you can do, to further dim the Infotainment Screen.  I haven't done it yet, but it is near the top of my To Do List.  There is a pin that you can pull from the connector in the back of the unit to accomplish this, or you can cut it (don't advise this).  I'm going to pull the pin and either heat shrink a cover over the pin, or tape it.
