Hi HN,

This is my attempt to fix groggy mornings by lowering my bedroom CO2 from 1700 ppm to ~900 ppm.

I designed a simple, 3D-printed fan duct that directs air under the door to improve air circulation.

A note on the design process: I used CadQuery, a Python library for creating parametric 3D models. I didn't know tools like this existed and highly recommend it if you can program; it turned out to be more convenient than manually iterating on prototypes in a GUI.

The project is open source and the post explains the full build. Happy to answer any questions.

Cool project. Will need to do similar soon at new place to deal with tech in a cupboard for heat.

900 is still quite high though - upper end of normal for indoor

Thanks! Yep, the goal is stable 500-600 ppm; now thinking about making it into a positive pressure setup (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44374107).
