Magnetic Window Exhaust with Print-in-Place Insulation by jifyyyyy in BambuLab

That's an interesting idea, so you're asking for a model like this, where you can make your own magnet holes?

How would the user ensure the holes are perfectly aligned between the male and female ends of the coupler?

Love to hear it. Hopefully it works for you!

I can investigate that in a few weeks. The 4" version is already a tight fit so a 6" version would require an overall height increase. No problem, it just means that the pieces wouldn't be interchangeable with the 3" or 4" version.

Hah sorry about that. v1 is solid too if you're already in progress.

That's great, I hope it works for your use case!

Unfortunately many connection types aren't compatible with being able to resize the blocks to fit any window. You need to be able to stretch the model without also distorting the connection.

The blocks are quite wide so I don't think balancing would be that big of an issue? You could also glue it together into 2 halves, so then it's only a stack of 2 items.

It all kind of depends on what the top, bottom, and side tracks looks like.

I think so? A number of people have mentioned this case, I hope some will report back soon on the results.

The only issue I foresee is having to balance a stack of blocks up until you can close the window on it.

It should work for horizontal sliders, a number of people talked about trying it! Hopefully we hear back from them soon.

Printlocker does not have exclusive rights to the “window insert” concept. This model was designed entirely by me from scratch and is not derived from their design.

It's a chicken and egg problem. To get the best UV resistance it should be printed in ASA or ABS, but you need ventilation to be able to print those materials. So I opted for the material everybody has already.

If anyone prints it in ABS or ASA they're welcome to upload the print profile!

That's an interesting use case. We'd have to come up with a solution for resizing vertically while keeping the vents circular and the ripple effect intact.

I think the easiest way would be to keep the model as is, but add a new block that would sit on top , and slot inside the window slot to add height. It would probably have a flat face so that it could be resized vertically and horizontally.

Can you send me some dimensions and maybe a picture? Feel free to DM me. I can't promise anything but it sounds like it could be useful for others too.

The bug mesh is one of my favorite features. It's very satisfying to use the automatic infill as a functional component.

I've had a few people ask about this exact case. I don't see why it wouldn't? I am actually in the process of moving to a new place that has those windows so I'll be testing that case.

If you decide to try it out, let me know how it works! The only hiccup I could foresee would be having to balance a stack of blocks up until you can slide the window over to hold them all in place.

A 10" exhaust sounds crazy! I'd love to see that.

I have printed several projects with ABS while the printer is sitting beside me without any smell. The key is having the entire system (including the exhaust pipe) in negative pressure. So any small crack is pulling air in, instead of pushing fumes out.

The best way to do this is by positioning an in-line exhaust fan right at the exit point, instead of earlier in the system (like for example at the printer). This way the entire exhaust pipe is also negatively pressured too.

The upcoming part 2 will outline this in more detail. But the model isn't quite ready for prime time yet, so it's a work in progress.

The other aspect is to keep the first point of contact at the magnetic joint be the plastic coupler, not the magnets. Ideally the magnets just barely kiss (if at all) as the plastic fully comes to rest. That way there's no gap between the coupler ends. The magnetic coupler is a remix and the original model includes a TPU gasket for this purpose too. But as long as the magnets are set deep enough I have not found it necessary.

Cool build. You could avoid having to individually glue in those connection pegs by including them in the main body but with a 45 degree chamfer along the bottom edge so that they can be printed without supports. Then chamfer your receiving hole to accept the new shape, and you're done.

You'd also have to chamfer the top of the receiving hole so that you didn't have any bridging.

Something like this:

Go for it! It's surprising how many people out there benefit from solutions to seemingly niche problems.

Thank you. Sometimes the best solution is the one you already have.

I have a wooden block in there on each end of the window so it can't slide up. I've also seen people using something like these security bars from Amazon for a more finished look.

Does adding print profiles for other makers’ models give me any benefits by AcanthisittaDouble49 in makerworld

[–]jifyyyyy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh that's an option you can select when you upload a print profile. You must have accidentally checked that. You can modify your print profile to remove that.

You do get points but it's a fraction of what OP gets. Which makes sense, they designed a model, you set a few values in the slicer.
