Blinds Holder

thingiverse

I'm trying to hold my blinds together with this simple little part because my cat has decided that blinds make a perfectly good door if you walk through them forcefully enough. This works for the cheap garbage blinds that were in my apartment, and are likely in overpriced apartments all over the place. I included the SolidWorks files so you can adjust them to fit your application if your blinds are differently sized. They won't fix your blinds, but they might look slightly less bad once you attach them. As an additional tip, if your blinds hang crookedly when you have them half pulled up, it may be because you're pulling the cord at an angle away from the window, and one of the cords is not catching in the brake at the top. But if you pull the cord straight down, you can usually get both to catch so they hang straight.
