Description

Should fit dashboard side vents for '97-'01 XJ Cherokee and '97-'06 TJ Wrangler. Inspired by an existing design that was floating around (which I can't find now), but re-modeled from scratch with more robust attachment clips. FreeCAD project file included.

Print face-down without support. Should probably be printed in ABS to cope with summer heat (and winter use of the heater), but I'm YOLO-ing it with PLA for now.

Remove the original vent by gently prying out at the top and bottom. Install this one by bending the top and bottom walls over the mounting posts. Note that the top and bottom mounting posts are different sizes - the vent can only go in one way up!

Pricing assumptions and exclusions

USD: ($6 setup + $3 finishing + filament weight × assumed spool cost × 1.25 waste allowance + print hours × $2.50 × material time factor) ÷ 0.65. Rounded up to the next $0.50.

Assumed spool costs per kg: PLA $25, PETG $30, ASA $40, ABS $30, TPU $45, Nylon $65, PA-CF $95. Time factors: PLA/PETG 1.0, ASA/ABS 1.2, TPU 1.6, Nylon 1.4, PA-CF 1.5. These are proposed shop rates, not measured production costs.

Design work, test fitting, hardware, shipping and tax are additional where needed. Multi-file sets may need several prints. Use actual sliced weight and time when available. Final pricing is confirmed in writing.
