I needed to vent the exhaust from my Centauri Carbon out though a basement window above where it sits. I have 4 inch (100mm) dryer duct material and I wanted some flexibility as to how the vent was angled. Therefore I designed a two piece exhaust vent that can be freely rotated. The two pieces, base and elbow, interlock via 3 tabs that allow the pieces to slide together when aligned at a 30 degree angle. I did not make any "snap-in" functionality, therefore the pieces can still be easily separated if desired. The elbow portion freely rotates to any position (but will separate at a 30 degree angle, since that is the angle at which the pieces connect). There is a fairly sturdy grooved flange on the elbow for attaching ducting material. This design used the two most convenient machine screw positions on the back of the CC to hold this in place (plus an optional 8x2mm magnet, if desired. You'll need to replace the existing machine screws with longer ones (M3 x 8mm).
The base prints easily without supports, whereas the elbow requires supports. I printed with the "connector" end of the elbow flat to the build plate to ensure a good connector fit.
