Cellular shade pull for Home Depot brand Home Decorators Collection shades

thingiverse

Months ago, we purchased a couple of Home Depot brand Home Decorators Collection series cordless cellular shades. These are nice bottom-up/top-down shades that have handles at the top to pull the top of the shade down, but strangely, there are no handles provided to lift or pull down the bottom of the shade. One ends-up having to put weird stresses on the internal mechanism in order to lower the shade all the way down. We've have two internal cord breakages in two of the shades, but fortunately, we were able to exchange them under warranty. To mitigate the design deficiency, I decided to just design and print these handles, and they work well. Besides the STL, I've included the original Inventor part file, as well as an IGES file, so the solid can be modified if desired. When installing, hook the edge near the front of the handle first, then snap it on by pushing on the bottom with the palm of your hand (see included photos). It takes a little force push it on, but once they are on, they are very stable. There is also another pull handle design for Home Depot branded cordless cell shades by another Thingiverse member. It didn't fit my style shade, but if mine doesn't fit your shade type, perhaps the one below will work. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4266115
