IKEA KADRILJ > FRIDANS Adapter-set

thingiverse

These models allow you to use the motor of the electric KADRILJ roller blinds on regular manual FRIDANS roller blinds. I designed them because I needed wider roller blinds that were only offered non-motorized (FRIDANS), so I could buy a cheap second-hand KADRILJ roller blinds and just re-use the electronics. The motor unit should be mounted to the wall using the printed motor-spacer, with the cog at the end replaced with the printed one. The FRIDANS roller-blind should have its spring removed by just sliding it out. The provided FRIDANS wall-mount (without the controlling-arm) can be repurposed and should be mounted with the printed Mount-spacer. Finally, a printed spacer-ring can be placed instead of the original plastic rim to force some distance between the motor-mount and the roller blind itself to prevent damaging the blinds. You will notice the motor is quite a tight fit, with only about a millimeter of clearance. However, this turned out to be just enough for a snug fit with a little bit of pressure. This setup has been working perfectly for a couple of days now. I'd recommend removing the motor (placed in the drive-shaft) from the battery-base, by detaching the small connector and then just sliding it off, and mounting the battery-base to the wall by itself initially. Then insert the drive-shaft in the FRIDANS-blinds, mount the blinds to the KADRILJ-mount on the opposite side of the motor, and finally reconnect the motor. The spacer-ring also prevents the blinds from detaching from the KADRILJ-mount.
