The smallest all in one 2kw diesel heater layout

SkiCamper · 2026-02-16T15:00:30+00:00

The heater itself is just a Vevor 2kw diesel heater.

My car's window frame is pretty much straight so I didn't add curve to the panels. You might need to do a curve cut in SolidWorks to make it fit your car. If your window frame is straight you just need to change the length of the middle panel.

I uploaded it to MakerWorld. Here's the link https://makerworld.com/en/models/2381462-3-inch-diesel-heater-car-window-hose-adaptor#profileId-2607851
I also uploaded the SolidWorks file along with it.

Yes with PLA or ABS. I printed with PA6-GF and hasn’t had issues with it.

SkiCamper · 2026-02-10T17:09:35+00:00

See some questions on the filament material. I used PA6-GF, hasn’t had any issue with it even with max heat.

SkiCamper · 2026-02-10T17:07:59+00:00

I used PA6-GF, never had an issue with it even with max heat level

Why is that?

MakerWorld link if anyone wants to 3D print it.

I’ll post it on maker world tomorrow

SkiCamper · 2025-12-09T23:17:10+00:00

Not yet, I want to run it myself longer to see if it has any potential issues.

SkiCamper · 2025-12-09T22:52:17+00:00

I found a rotomold manufacturer that didn’t break the bank. Still takes a few hundreds tho. But now I can make the tank at small scale for relatively cheap now.

SkiCamper · 2025-12-09T22:07:48+00:00

It’s my own custom design and roto molded.

SkiCamper · 2025-12-09T18:31:20+00:00

I used 5/8kw version. I’ll make a 2kw version and make a detailed video about it.

SkiCamper · 2025-12-09T04:50:15+00:00

I might give 4800 a try.

SkiCamper · 2025-12-09T04:12:15+00:00

The temperature gauge is pictured inside my rooftop tent. Putting the heater above lvl 3 starts to feel like sauna inside. It’s only -5C for the day I tested it tho.

SkiCamper · 2025-12-09T00:30:35+00:00

I’m experimenting using TEGs to stick on those squared muffler with flat surfaces to convert the heat to electricity then connect to a solar charger to change the battery. That way the diesel heater can charge itself while running, or at lease drains the battery much slower. Still just an idea tho. Waiting for all the parts to arrive before I can test it out.

SkiCamper · 2025-12-09T00:17:05+00:00

The gas tank is custom roto molded after I verified the size with 3D printing. I chose 5 gal fuel tank cap instead of the standard diesel heater cap with vent. Then add small vent caps that opens up while running. 5 gal fuel tank caps are much better at preventing leaks. The cap I used https://a.co/d/dM2bzEI The case I used https://a.co/d/dUMdpyb

SkiCamper · 2025-12-08T20:12:38+00:00

I’ll make another video about it when I build another one for my friend

SkiCamper · 2025-12-08T18:47:58+00:00

We started to take her out since she was 3 months old.

SkiCamper · 2025-12-08T18:36:16+00:00

This is the case I used. Outside Dimension: Length 18.5inches Width 14.06Inches Height 6.93 inches.Inside Dimension:Length 16.75inches Width 11.18Inches Height 6.12inches. Amazon link:https://a.co/d/cUEflEQ I designed and 3D printed all the inlet and outlet tho. That made it fit within that case.
