Vertical blind parts

thingiverse

The blinds in our conservatory have been up a while and the sunlight and heat have taken their toll of the plastic runners, causing several to simply disintegrate. So, either buy a new set of blinds or casually say to the wife 'If I print replacement parts, the 3d printer has actually saved us money.' These are replacement sliders for vertical blinds into which you pop the gears from the old, broken sliders. There's also a replacement hangar bit as these seem to suffer from the heat and sunlight too. Remember to draw out how the old strings, springs, gears, washers, connectors etc. were put together so you can easily reassemble everything at the end. All the sliders on all our blinds look the same, despite being from different manufacturers, so in my house at least these replacements are 'universal'. If they don't fit your blinds though, sorry!
