IKEA Fyrtur Blind Brackets - Automate Any Window Size

prusaprinters

<p>These parts allow anyone to put IKEA Fyrtur blinds into any size window you want! I bought 6 of the smallest Fyrtur blinds and installed them in our home windows ranging from 52" up to 70".</p> <p>This is a work in progress, but I finally have an iteration that is easy to print and assemble. I'd love to hear feedback on ways to improve these designs!</p> <p>More info in the ReadMe.txt file</p> <p><a href="https://youtu.be/Yho7xPQL_3o">Blind Demo</a></p> <p> <figure class="media"> <oembed url="https://youtu.be/Yho7xPQL_3o"></oembed> </figure> </p> <p>Materials needed:</p> <ul> <li>Fyrtur Blind (All sizes use the same motor assembly, so no need to get bigger versions)</li> <li>1-1/4" PVC Sch40 pipe</li> <li>Any fabric you want to use since you will need to cut it to fit your new window size.</li> <li>Contact glue to attach the fabric to your PVC</li> <li>Small dowel rod to sew into the bottom of your fabric (this is what stops the motor on the way up)</li> <li>Misc wood screws and a few small machine screws. I used regular wood screws (1.5" and 2" sizes). I also had to use two M3 (I think) machine screws on the 72" window since it utilizes the middle window support clasp.</li> <li>a 608 bearing</li> <li>Basic screwdriver and drill for pre drilling your window frame and screwing in the frame brackets to hang the blinds.</li> <li>A fabric knife makes cutting fabric square and straight MUCH easier. It's like a sharp pizza cutter and was worth the $10 on amazon.</li> </ul> Category: Household
