Mounting bracket for Allen and Roth Cellular Shades

thingiverse

We purchased Allen & Roth Cellular Window shades at Lowes for our home. The shades come with clips that can be mounted inside the window frame if your windows are deep enough, or outside of the window frame if you have a flat surface around your windows. Our windows were not deep enough and had contoured moldings around them, which is not flat. I designed and printed these custom clips to allow an inside mount on our windows. Infill percentage is crucial on these clips, 25% allowed for sufficient flexibility to install the clip and hold the shade in place, more infill would make the part too rigid, and less may not hold as well. We printed two per window shade, but if you have extra wide shades, you might want to print more. They work great, but be aware that I designed them to stay securely in place and you will need to break the thin tab on the inside of the clips if you want to remove them once installed. The tab keeps the clips from shifting loose after installation. Please see the post-processing section for mounting instructions.
