Franklyn Panel Glide Blind Runner

This is a replacement part designed specifically for Franklyn brand blinds, but may also fit other types of blinds. For this part to work properly, you'll need to salvage the pin and wheel from the original runner and insert them into the new one, making sure they're securely friction-fitted in place. If necessary, use a hammer to tap them firmly into position. I had to replace 18 runners on my Franklyn blinds due to sun damage weakening the plastic over time. You can purchase replacement runners online at Blinds2go.com.au, but be prepared for a hefty price tag - $3.50 for a small piece of injection-molded plastic seems excessive. That's why I decided to create this part. When printing this model, make sure to use support material in the gap where the wheel goes. In my experience, using a 3mm brim helps prevent the ends from lifting during the printing process. I hope you find this replacement part helpful! P.S. Stay tuned for upcoming designs of other plastic parts, including the catchers.
