Boosts are appreciated, they help me keeping developing and sharing my files.

We needed a no-drill solution to block excessive sunlight from a frosted glass door that caused annoying glare on the TV and during gaming. An IKEA Schottis blind worked well, but it couldn't be fully retracted when not in use. To solve this, I created a simple clamp-style holder that can be stored in place even when the blind is down.

I recommend using at least two clamps, one on each side of the blind

Important: Before installing the magnets, double-check their polarity to ensure they attract, not repel.

 

Requirements:

  • 15mm of clearance above and below the mounted blind.
  • Magnets (I used 8mm, but the design is customizable in Bambu Studio).
  • Double-sided tape.

How to edit the magnet hole for other magnet dimensions:

  1. Open the file in Bambu Studio, and delete the repeated pieces (to save the work of editing all holes)

  2. Select “objects” in the left menu, and look for the “magnet-hole” parts.

  3. On the top menu select scale, uncheck “uniform scale” and adjust the dimensions to the ones needed for the magnets you have (had some extra space so it's easier to fit the magnets). Repeat the process for all the holes and try to keep them the most centered possible so they are aligned when installing.

  4. When finished clone the objects for the quantities you need. Select each object and right click on your mouse. Choose “Clone” and insert the quantity you need. Repeat for each object.

  5. When finished arrange all objects manually as you please or simply use the automatic arrange (also available right clicking on your mouse)

  6. Slice and Print. :)
