Shoe/Boot/Glove Dryer System

Have you ever had a pair of shoes or gloves soaked, and don't want to throw them in the clothes dryer?  If you have forced air vents/registers in your home, then this system is for you!

 

This is a reinforced register cover with threaded holes for various vent tubes.  The tubes have holes on the sides plus a large hole at the top to help promote convection within a shoe, boot, glove, or mitten.  3 sizes of tubes are included: a 100mm, 150mm, and 180mm tube.  Also included are two plugs: a full plug, and a passthrough plug.  The passthrough plug can be used in case your HVAC loops are short, and reduce backpressure into the HVAC.  Or it can be used for surface drying as well.

 

UPDATE: For those who don't have heat registers in the floor, don't fret!  I've added print profiles that include a riser that can be used with a set of fans that can be purchased separately.  The riser is designed to work with this set of fans that be purchased at Amazon here.  I've also included the STEP file for the riser in case you purchase different fans, and wish to adjust the base size.

 

All parts can be printed without supports.  Brims are recommended for the tubes.  All print settings are tuned for the easiest printing, and best strength to withstand heat if printed with PLA.  Profiles included are for both PLA and PETG.
