Vertical Blinds Valence Brackets

thingiverse

This set of brackets enables a wooden trim valence to attach securely around a vertical blinds support rail. Brackets fit snugly over and lock onto valence clips that come standard with the blinds, utilizing flat head 1x10 wood screws to firmly secure the wooden trim in place. Designed for adjustment, these brackets can be set to determine the precise distance from the blinds where you want the valence to sit. This distance directly affects the length of the wooden side pieces, so plan carefully to avoid any issues. The holes for locking screws are self-tapping, but it's essential to drive them in slowly to prevent melting the plastic. For optimal results, it's highly recommended that you thermally calibrate your filament before printing these precision parts. Use one of two calibration clips available on Thingiverse to achieve accurate calibration.

When printing, orient the brackets for maximum strength around the clip and screws. Avoid reorienting them, as this can cause the layers to peel apart under stress. The prototype pieces have withstood over six months of installation without any signs of failure or stress.
