Jalousie holder, bead chain window blinds stopper with better grip

thingiverse

Jalousie holder designed specifically for 1mm chain cord and standard jalousie bead chains made from durable plastic with a 2.9 mm ball diameter. The original holder was failing to perform its function, succumbing to sun damage that weakened its structure. Aiming to create a more effective gripping system, I envisioned a three-ball design that would securely hold the chain in place. After testing, it's clear that this new design is successful, but one issue remains: the white cover plastic does not fit seamlessly onto the updated holder, requiring some force to secure it properly. Fabricated using PET and PETG materials with a 0.15 mm layer height, I made adjustments to the top portion of the holder to achieve a finer mesh pattern. The new jalousie holder functions smoothly right out of the box, although an initial push may be necessary to insert the chain cord securely.
