SxS windshield defroster diffuser (one piece)

Spreads the air from a round defroster hose into a wide, flat stream along the bottom of your windshield. The narrow round inlet flares out to a long slot with a row of small holes. Change the outlet width or the hole count to suit your glass.

Hardware

  • Hose clamp, ~3 in · goes just above the spigot bead

Assembly

  1. Slide the heater hose over the spigot past the bead and tighten the clamp.
  2. Screw the ears to the dash mount.

Good to know

  • The Studio's built-in bed check still uses the A1's 256 mm bed and flags the part as too large; choose the H2C on the Print tab. My own check puts it at 294 × 307 mm, inside the 300 × 320 plate.
  • PLA softens around 55 °C and SxS heater air can be hotter than that, so PETG or ASA is the safer choice for real use.
  • I took 2-7/8" as the spigot's outside diameter. If you meant the inside, change the Inlet spigot OD slider.
  • Printing a 208 mm tall part on a thin outlet rim is steady but slow; use a brim. The hose clamp and the mounting-ear screws are untested.
