hi , i am trying to 3d print some air vent for my truck but i can't find any model outthere. any suggestion where i could go.
why i what to printed and not buy it, well i like to modify the 3d object and add some movible parts, the vents that will close when temp its hot or cold outside the vehicle. use a small motor to move the vents and use an arduino to control the temp.

It sounds like a perfect excuse to learn to use some CAD software. If you can handle the electronics and the 3D printing, you can definitely learn to use CAD. I suggest DesignSpark Mechanical. It is free, very easy to learn and use, and very powerful. It also produces very high quality STL files for 3D printing.
