Curtain Rod

thingiverse

Create custom curtain rods using 1/2 inch steel electrical conduit that you cut to fit your window. You can find this conduit in the electrical department of big box stores like Home Depot at an affordable price. Avoid copper plumbing pipe as it is too expensive and heavy. To cut the rod, use a mini pipe cutter, such as the one available at Harbor Freight for $5. After cutting to length, clean and paint the rod to match your decor. Attach two brackets above (or beside) the window molding; additional brackets may be needed for heavier curtains. Ensure you use long screws and drywall inserts if mounting into drywall. To finish off, design and print finials for the ends of the rod! Share your designs with others. Note: Metric equivalent measurements are not yet available but will be added upon request.
