Description
Lastly, my Jeep didn't have the original vents and apparently there is a clip missing. The original design only has the pin on one side and seems to rely on a clip on the other end of the vent which is missing at least on my Jeep. So, I added a peg to have it snap in and work like the original vent would have. These work fine and look ok aside from matching the color of my interior.
My jeep has really hot heat and I had some sagging with PETG so I reprinted them in Polycarbonate. The original linkage isn't flexible enough to clip on the vanes without breaking if you print it with PC - so I thickened that part.
NOTE: This design fits both the left and right center vents...the direction you install the vanes in the body of the vent is important so that the handle faces down and provides a limit to how far the vent can be moved side to side.

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 | $28.50 | Indoor prototypes; not a default material for hot vehicle interiors. |
| PETG | $29.00 | General-purpose candidate; heat and creep need review. |
| ASA | $32.50 | Candidate for UV exposure; verify temperature and geometry. |
| ABS | $31.50 | Enclosed printing; review application and dimensions. |
| TPU | $37.50 | Flexible designs only; not a substitute for rigid materials. |
| Nylon | $37.50 | Moisture, tolerances and application require review. |
| PA-CF | $42.50 | 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.
