Kitchen vent hood with mesh, external

The external vented part of my cooker range broke but the butterfly vent hinge was left intact.

I couldn't get a new one without having to remove the whole lot including messing with the through-wall parts so I made this one in TinkerCad.

It fits a 4" vent and is made to sit flush on the outer wall where the old vent exited and had enough room to allow for the butterfly hinge to move, open/close. It could be siliconed in place or screwed.

A piece of material mesh could be added to exclude smaller insects.

I used auto brim and 'thin tree' supports in Creality Printer. All the rest was standard K1 settings.

Fiddle with it, Im sure it can be improved upon.

Notes

The photos are before clean-up and, frankly, I think my KE would have produced a better print, possibly in white (I have found the Elegoo silver to be a bit messy although their same-box gold is great to use. It's just what happened to be on the printer at the time!)
