Welcome fellow prototypers! This communities' purpose is to help others and share functional 3D Printing related information. While other 3D Printing Communities are a good resource, sometimes too many help posts get buried under memes and fluff. This will remain technically focused and keep the fluff removed. Please help your fellow 3D Printer hobbyists as much as you can with their issues! and showcase your functional prints and how you use or created them.

Got a cheap mower missing the air filter cover, so I printed a replacement cover (imgur.com)

Neat, but hopefully the air gets in there from somewhere off camera?

Or don't you need to put some vent holes in the top?

Yep, you can't see it in the photo but the base is vented. With those vents and the slot for the throttle control that provides sufficient air for the mower (pretty sure the OEM part for this style was also solid).
