PVC Pipe Curtain Holder

thingiverse

During this design project, I was asked to make a curtain for a window that is hard to reach and does not have a curtain. Once I started to design the holders I noticed the walls were brick, so I had to find a way to screw in the PVC holders without going into the brick. As I was looking at the room I noticed that the ceiling had a piece of wood coming down from it, so I designed the holder so that you screw in the screws going up. As I kept designing the pieces I ran into many problems with the fit of the PVC pipe being too tight or to lose. This curtain is supposed to be closed permanently due to lack of resources and time we have. As we started to put up the pieces in the wall the screws split the pieces in half, so we did not get to hang the curtain up. I have learned that making a simple curtain holder has many more parts than I thought like making one piece to connect two poles and how they will connect to the wall.
