Mini Blinds Bottom String Plug

thingiverse

This all started when my wife asked me to fix the blinds. With a 1 year old and mini blinds in reach they tend to get ripped up. Anyways, when i took the blinds down I had noticed that the plug that goes into the bottom of the mini blinds was missing. Then the idea to make one of my own popped up. With my minimal knowledge of openscad and my moderate knowledge in cad i started drawing. The plan was to use linear extrude in openscad but i couldnt figure out how to difference with it, maybe there is a way but I just started getting examples for openscad wiki and started from scratch. I know there is probably a better way to code it and but it ended up working great. Original intention was to print in nylon but I had blue PLA in the printer and just went for it. There were a couple of iterations in between the very first one and this one but this one worked well enough i thought I could put it up. Instructions Printed with a Prusa i3 with a .5mm nozzle and kisslicer to slice. Nylon with a .35mm nozzle and a thinner wall on the tab would probably work even better.
