Extended windowblind valance clip for smart blinds
Print Profile(1)

Bill of Materials
Description
This is a modified version of the plastic clip which holds the valance (decorative slat) piece at the top of window blinds.
This part fits a 2.5 inch (about 6 cm) tall valance.
The space between the front of the blinds' casing and the back of the valance was increased from 9 mm to 26 mm to allow room for the Switchbot Blind Tilt smart blinds to be mounted.
I have tested it with Bambu PETG Translucent filament and the clip fits both the blind casing and the valance piece just like the original.
I also have a profile for the unmodified version of the valence clip for people who just need a normal clip. Link:

Hopefully this model is helpful for people who use the Switchbot Blind Tilt.
In order to install these, the blinds' casing must be removed at least partially from its mount. I got away with just sliding the casing out of the mount a half inch or so, without taking down the whole blind. This will allow the clip to fit over the casing's edge and seat in place. In PETG, the clip is flexible enough that it can take a little punishment while installing it.
