Exhaust fan reacher.....VCarve Desktop

Post by Bjohnes »

My RV has exhaust fans in the bathrooms that you cannot reach without a step stool. As all RV'ers know space is a commodity. So I made these pieces to screw on to a dowel rod to reach and open the vent on the roof and flip the switch on the fan to turn it on. The black knob will screw back into the crank shaft of the exhaust fan. Took a picture of the knob and used the trace bitmap feature once imported to VCarve. Got her sized correctly and generated the tool paths.

I take a picture with a ruler and your part to make. It makes it easier to size correctly.
