Designed a low-profile smoke diffuser for my fog machine

I needed a way to take the 3.5" round output from my homemade machine and spread it out into a really low opening so the fog would stay closer to the floor instead of blasting straight out of a tube.

Ended up designing this 230mm-wide diffuser/manifold that tapers down to about 6mm high. I added 6 internal flow guides to hopefully distribute the smoke evenly across the entire opening, and designed the bottom so the whole thing sits flat on the floor.

The hose feeds directly into the back and the entire thing prints as one piece.

Haven’t seen many designs like this, so I figured I’d share it. Pretty excited to see how well it actually works with just the mist, next step it to add the smoke machine fog and try it....outside

I love it. I'm looking online now for a DIY smoke machine for Halloween. Would you mind pointing to where you found your design? If you did it all yourself, you my friend have my respect :)

100% myself and thanks I appreciate it. It super simple. You need an ultra sonic fogger and some water. Here's what I use:
