Ceiling fan chain redirecting pipe

thingiverse

My ceiling fan chains used to snap off when pulled straight down, but I found a solution that saves them from breaking. Now, you pull the chains sideways instead, preventing them from getting stuck and snapping off. Many guests have done this in my home! To fix this issue, I built a guide pipe for the chain to redirect the pulling force sideways. Make sure to resize it to fit your fan's chain hole, as these holes are non-standardized. To secure the pipe inside the fan housing, you can use a zip tie, some hot glue, or a computer case screw.
