Velux Blind retrofit adapter

thingiverse

If you need to convert older Velux blinds to newer model frames, this adapter is just what you're looking for. It has the attachment slot shape of the old blind and the pin layout of the new type, allowing you to reuse your old blinds and save a substantial amount of money. The 1mm slot in the pins makes it easy to reinforce with a nail or metal pin. In our case, the old blinds were five centimeters too short, so keep in mind that this solution isn't perfect but it's a cheap and free fix. This model is designed for use with DesignSpark Mechanical, making it easy to modify or extend as needed. To print the adapter, we recommend using the FlashForge Finder printer with no rafts or supports, and setting the infill to three lines so that the pins are strong enough.
