While my dash is ripped apart due to a heater core issue I've had. I wanted to work on this project. I wanted to do this last winter when I got the car because my wife is one of those people who is always cold and that means when we drive together I am typically pretty warm. However, I didn't get to it. So, now is the perfect time. The solution is pretty easy, I wanted to 3d print some new ducting that has a damper in it so you can turn off the air flow to that vent. Almost every other vent in the car has this feature, why not the floor vents?
So, I removed the floor vent pieces during my dash tear down. Here are the 3 pieces we're looking to replace.
Driver's side vent.
Passenger side vent.
Rear foot vent.
So, these are the three pieces I'll be looking to recreate with a damper inserted into them. Right now, I am thinking of some way of manually actuating the damper. It'll click or pop into an open or closed position to keep things easy. I hope to try to make it somewhat easy to reach.
