Summary

I'm happy to share my final modular and durable window aeration panels for Jeep Wrangler JLU (2020) with you, for non-commercial use only.

USE CASE
On our way building an overland vehicle, we needed an emergency sleeping solution in our Jeep Wrangler JLU (in case of storms and high winds). While sleeping in a car, it's important to have an air ventilation system. Since we have an auxiliary heating system, we wanted to be able to direct the produced heat into our roof top tent or into our awning tent (since we're mostly traveling in worlds northern hemisphere).

That's why I created this very modular window aeration panels, which works for it alone or in combination with my modular 74mm heating hose system with different adapters for the Eberspaecher auxiliary heating system in our Jeep.

TESTED & FINAL VERSION
This final version of my window aeration panel for Jeep Wrangler JLU is the result of many prototypes and a lot of learning regarding product engineering, 3d design, printing and filament constraints. This product is tested in the field in various conditions as e.g. on our trip to Iceland last summer and fully functionality is approved. The current version is a replacement for an early prototype (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4698348), which I already shared in December 2020 with the community.

MATERIAL
Initially I planned to print this aeration panels in ABS-S. But on the way to build some other heat exposed adapters for my hose and auxiliary heating system, I had to get the skills to print carbon enforced nylon filament. After some fails I finally got very nice results with Polymaker PolyMide PA6-CF and my Raise3D Pro2+ printer. In the mean time PA6-CF is my main filament for functional parts and I love the robust and heat resistant results.
That's why I also printed this aeration panels in nylon/carbon, even if ABS would absolutely work for this type of objects.

PRINTING ORIENTATION
I got the best results by printing the panels in vertical orientation. That's why I'm distributing the parts print-ready with a support structure, which has to be removed after printing the two element aeration panels.

FREE AND OPTIONAL TIP / DONATION
I decided to share the final version of my high quality product with you, the makers community, for non-commercial applications only. Maybe my product will inspire other makers, will improve your ability to build things by studying and learning from it or you enjoy the final product by just printing it for your own use.

If you feel generous to support my investment and effort, you're very welcome to tip or donate me through PayPal.me: https://paypal.me/schuli42

Have fun :-) and "just do it!"
