DIY/Miscellaneous Vent Adapters 

3DUPfitters has a wide variety of vents designed to meet your custom venting needs.  They 

are 

designed to work with standard 3” or 4” clothes dryer hose available in any hardware store.  

Adjust the hose clamp to be right next to the ridge for the best fit.

The adapters are intended to be flexible so you can design a configuration that’s best for your 
situation. Here’s an example setup with the CR-10/Taz6/Ender 5 Plus vent kit.  For this you'd 
need to order a hose, clamps, and dryer window vent from your hardware store.

The Prusa/Ender setup is a bit more complicated since window inserts are all 4", while the 
hose we recommend is 3".  This setup adds an 3"->4" hose adapter, and the 3" hose is small 
and doesn't overwhelm the small enclosure. Note that with this setup you need 2 3" clamps 
and 1 4" clamp.
