Description

This is a telescopic A/C vent for NA or NB Mazda Miatas it will replace the eyeball in the stock A/C vents. All parts were modelled in Solidworks. I was tired of having vents that couldn't be closed when they weren't in use, so I decided to make new ones. If you have an NA, I recommend that you do NOT reinstall the two top screws of the tombstone - because these are printed, they are not strong enough for you to remove the entire assembly from the tombstone. I tried this and ended up breaking the shell piece. Now, I just leave the top two screws out of the tombstone so it can be removed if need be. Print this with ABS. I tested the parts with PLA, and they warped when I put the car's heat on. They would get even hotter if you left the car out in the sun. To make one vent, you will need to print: 1 x Pushrod (I recommend 100% infill for this part - poor layer adhesion makes it very fragile).
