This Invention Saved My Home Office (RENTER FRIENDLY)

So, my friend. It has been 2 months by now. Hows the draft in the room? Are you having issues opening the door?

why though

A fan?

Hey Morley I love the ingenuity. When I got to the part of you mounting the vent under the door, I was thinking that instead of re-printing, you could have adjusted the hinges. In theory loosing the screws and making the door flush to the ground would make a snug fit. Awesome work!

When the door was dragging, you just simply could have adjust the door hinges (twist the top one 1 or 2 round in, so the door won't sag down at the end), or just add a pair of washers to the hinge, so the door raises a bit and it won't drag on the floor. I would be so heartbroken wasting that much of material and time put into that duct.

Take the print that fits under the door, half it's length. Now air can vent between the two spaces more freely. Now flip it, and vent OUT the hot air in your room. The difference in pressure will draw in cold air at the ground to replace the hot air you've removed. Now you don't have to run tubing around your apartment, which is obviously upsetting your decor oriented girlfriend. Also get a HEPA filter for the space; it's probably not healthy to be around hot filament all day.

idc if that was the only solution, that is SO UGLY my god

Add a fan 🤯

Bruh you're so funny. I love your content but man, your solutions are often, not the best 😂

Dat sik bro

Bro could have just bought a fan. 😂

This has ti he the most stupid over engineerd 🤣 solution ive ever seen. A plug in tower fan would have fixed this immediately. He ended up using a fan anyway 😂😂

This is so cool, LOL. I love it and I love your skills. You’re an amazing guy. but just wondering, why does the fan work? Just putting fan in that room?

I’d be really curious to see what the CO2 levels in there were too! High CO2 can affect cognition, so not only are you hot but thinking and doing work gets harder too

Insert Brazil and Harry Tuttle reference here.

should've just made a hole at the top of the entrance to your room. that gap at the bottom would've helped with circulation.

Just put a fan in your room

The duct is so long you cooled it no cool air by the time it arrived at your studio closet. Just attach the fan to the door duct you printed, what you need is circulation from the rest of the apartment's air. Better yet swap with a Home Depot door adding a fan at the bottom of the door and a vent at the top for circulation.

Love the Methlab Aesthetic.

damp rid?

My printers add decent heat to my working area. Your two tests were different as one had a part printing in the background (heated print bed setting for PETG HF is 70C) and the new test did not have something printing. A possible consideration could be to add an enclosure for the printer or insulation blanket around the printer area. If you print often, this may help reduce the heat.

Great work. However, you could just move out of that tiny apartment..?

If you like tinkering with for example Arduino Boards or Arduino compatible Boards like an ESP32, then create a system that monitors if the AC is on, and if both vent doors are closed so it automatically turns on the blower and little fan in your "office".

I hope you get what I mean. 🙏

wait a second. does that mean that i am living in a closet for the last 5 years. 🥹

Do you have the AMS Lite?

A1 mini also I mean

Love the vids but you legit had 2 fans just get the adapter that give you extra plugs and then there’s a fan on your desk and if it’s loud in the recording just turn it off then turn it back on

I wonder if you can keep the humidity down just by building and adapter for that fan that hooks up to the door mat and pulls air just directly from outside the room

Why did you call the cord ugly😢

Use a fan.

I think calling 80° a successful air conditioner installing is pretty wild.
As others have said, you need room for return air.

ok you have a outlet pretty close to the door just put a fan inside the room

Please tell me there was no gap at all at top of door.. i mean if there was a slight gap the door could of been raised and no re print required.
Also you probably could of cut a tiny bit of bottom of door and land lord would be no wiser ..

Here’s an idea buy a fan😀

🇨🇦/🇺🇸... Exhaust ventilation?????? Now, I KNOW THAT you just made a very fun, monetizable video, however, I would just have either chatted with the landlord or I would have cut holes in either the door or EVEN the drywall and paid someone to repair either once you moved out. Was definitely fun to watch, though!!!

I believe you should also add a way of removing hot air from the PC and printer out from the top. This will keep circulation going on.

I love the spirit of this video and you as a creator, but oh boy, as someone in HVAC this got my goose. Here are some suggestions/ideas/thoughts (that echo other comments)
- You made a Linear Diffuser. Can look at Titus or Price as reference.
- Like others said, you need to get the air out as well.
* I would recommend just adding a room transfer grille (6"x6" or same area). That can be patched over w/gyp and paint at the end of your lease.
- If you are going to run duct more than 5', metal/plastic round duct would be better than flex. In-line fan is cool.

ur office is the same size as my bedroom i got the only small room in my house😭

So essentially a dehumidifier would have provided 80% of the results you were looking for? Then to improve the air flow you could have just built a door frame extension that leaves the door slightly ajar with vents at the top and bottom to allow circulation.

I don't own a 3d printer or anything but man what an entertaining watch

Hats off to your girlfriend or wife. I don't know of a single woman who have put up with all the hose running all over the place. Plus Dew Point is a bigger factor than humidity. I kind of got the sense that this was more of an ad for Bamboo Labs.

No way that would get the wife approval in my house

I love the video. This feels like the AC equivalent of of a struggle meal lol

noone thought of this before becasue there will be 0 ventilation, air in with no air out

So a dehumidifier may have worked better without all the holes 😮
