Ceiling fan chain redirecting pipe

thingiverse

My ceiling fan chains, when pulled straight down, snap off. Instead, you have to pull the chains sideways so they don't get stuck and break. I have had numerous guests do this! I built this pipe to guide the chain and redirect the pulling force sideways. Be sure to resize to fit the diameter of your fan's chain hole, as they are non-standardized. You can secure it inside of the fan housing with a zip tie, a bit of hot glue, or a computer case screw.
