IKEA Fyrtur Blind Brackets - Automate Any Window Size

thingiverse

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". 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! More info in the ReadMe.txt file <p><a href="https://youtu.be/Yho7xPQL_3o">Blind Demo</a></p> https://youtu.be/Yho7xPQL_3o Materials needed: - Fyrtur Blind (All sizes use the same motor assembly, so no need to get bigger versions) - 1-1/4" PVC Sch40 pipe - Any fabric you want to use since you will need to cut it to fit your new window size. - Contact glue to attach the fabric to your PVC - Small dowel rod to sew into the bottom of your fabric (this is what stops the motor on the way up) - 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. - a 608 bearing - Basic screwdriver and drill for pre drilling your window frame and screwing in the frame brackets to hang the blinds. - 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.
