I made a firm mark 3

Copes with its task. It's good, but not great. I mean it's a piece of plastic. The metal lining on the inside is pretty thin. They didn't even solder it or anything like that.

So I had to do a little surgery with pliers on the tube to allow it to slide in. Also, my old cap had an outer square flange that also fitted into a matching…

It works very well when I'm not using the screen. But my cousin bought the same one for four dollars with no screen. And it defeats the purpose of keeping things out of my dryer without a screen. With the screen, my hair dryer stopped drying, then I found it turned itself off, and then I found the screen was completely clogged with lint. So I took out all the blades and cleaned them (it's not designed for that). regularly). The next few times it was clogged again. Also, it was very difficult to
