DIY Motorised Blind

thingiverse

I've found a simple DIY blind mount online that I'd like to share with you. This is my first iteration, and it definitely needs improvement, but it works perfectly! Just print out the two STL files or download the CAD files and customize them for yourself. No supports are required; simply change the orientation when you import the file into your slicer, though I'm not guaranteeing that it will fit your window ceiling or blind beads exactly. If you decide to make this project, please post a Make on the site. Here's what you'll need: 1. A 12V DC Metal Gear High Torque Worm Geared Reduction Motor (100RPM) - You can find one here: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/12V-DC-Metal-Gear-High-Torque-Turbine-Turbo-Worm-Geared-Reduction-Motor-2-100RPM/293030581370?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&var=591841483063&_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649 2. A DC 6-30V Motor Speed Controller Reversible PWM Control Forward / Reverse Switch - You can find one here: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/DC-6-30V-Motor-Speed-Controller-Reversible-PWM-Control-Forward-Reverse-switch/273819292889?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649 3. A 6mm Rigid Flange Coupling Motor Guide Shaft Steel Coupler Motor Connector - You can find one here: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/3-14mm-Rigid-Flange-Coupling-Motor-Guide-Shaft-Steel-Coupler-Motor-Connector/254348892689?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&var=553899392757&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649 4. An AC 240V to DC 24V 2A AU Plug Power Supply Adapter Transform Charger 5.5x2.1mm - You can find one here: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/264336186873 5. A 3M 12V DC POWER EXTENSION CABLE 5.5mm*2.1mm for CCTV CAMERA LED DVR LEAD - You can find one here: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/3M-12V-DC-POWER-EXTENSION-CABLE-5-5mm-2-1mm-for-CCTV-CAMERA-LED-DVR-LEAD/233260230535?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649 6. You will also need some M3 screws - both self-tapping and normal for mounting the wall mount, motor, and flange coupling. 10mm long should be fine.
