In practical #3dPrinting results, a friend was looking to replace a broken slat on an air vent.

It took about 5 minutes to learn enough OpenSCAD to model it, then only slightly longer than they to print it.

I only had ABS filament in a delightful purple shade so the vent is going to get a nice accent colour.

The slat has been fitted. Sadly it has been painted to blend in with its environment so the it won’t catch the eyes of the local children.
