SCAD File for BlindsBase #36

Closed dsandor closed 4 years ago

dsandor commented 4 years ago

It would be very helpful to have access to the OpenSCAD file for the BlindsBase.stl file. It would be useful for minor variations in blinds. For example by blinds need about 8mm trimmed off the top of the assembly.

Yes, please! Current design doesn't work with my blinds either and I was hoping not to have to design it from scratch.

I created one on my own. Mounted it in 2 blinds and it seems to work great. I had to put a tiny bolt through the metal to act as a backstop. The motor would work its way back and detach after about 20 cycles. The bolt was a super simple way to prevent that. I suppose you could make it wider to be a tight fit but this worked well for me.

Enjoy.
