Curtain holders/ties

thingiverse

Is there a better name than "curtain tie"? I don't know. But I wanted to pull some curtains back from the window, so I iterated and designed this. There are two versions- one has a longer arm with a pincher, the other one is just straight across. I've used both. It's important to print the mirrored pieces, as they have a screw hole on the bottom. Print non-mirrored and you'll end up with an exposed screw on top of one. I installed them with #6 flat head square drive. YMMV. Designed in openscad, but it's actually really fussy- I had to wrap everything with intersections to get the smooth shapes I wanted. Please let me know if you make it more elegant.
