Description
Looking into the issue I fount that there are mainly two root causes for this:
1) The vertical fins are stuck, rotates very hard due to high friction (due to dirt, leak of lubricant etc.) with the vent case;
2) The holder of the vertical fins knob is cracked as you can see in one of the attached pictures. This causes a lose of the vertical fins moving mechanism which loses mechanical contact to the vertical fins so they are not moving anymore.
Here is what I have done to fix the problem:
- Cleaned the vent grill of dirt and old lubricant;
- Enlarged the holes into which the vertical fins are fixed by about 0.2 mm (top and bottom as well, see attached pictures) so they will rotate more easily;
- mounted a fixing mechanism for the fins rotating mechanism so mechanical contact is tighten, see attacked .stl file for the fixing piece.
- The fixing fiece is mounted using an M3 screw and not, you will have to drill a 3.5 mm hole in the case of the vent grill as shown in the pictures.
- lucricate mechanism and job done!

Print price estimates
Planning prices for one print, not a final quote. Defaults use a size allowance inferred from the part name, not a measured or sliced model. Filament suitability must be confirmed.
| Filament | USD / print | Application notes |
|---|---|---|
| PLA | $57.50 | Indoor prototypes; not a default material for hot vehicle interiors. |
| PETG | $59.00 | General-purpose candidate; heat and creep need review. |
| ASA | $69.50 | Candidate for UV exposure; verify temperature and geometry. |
| ABS | $66.00 | Enclosed printing; review application and dimensions. |
| TPU | $85.00 | Flexible designs only; not a substitute for rigid materials. |
| Nylon | $85.00 | Moisture, tolerances and application require review. |
| PA-CF | $99.00 | Filled nylon; abrasive filament and fit need review. |
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.
