Added a V2 with some tweaks I made for greater durability. Tolerancing is still kept tight to the point you may need to heat the rod to deform the PLA but due to the nature of tolerancing across different machines I've opted to keep that as the process.
Replacement Spindle/Drum for horizontal blinds for controlling the tip/tilt of the blinds. This is for 1" blinds typical in apartments and homes on the low to moderate scale. Reverse engineered the part in CAD because my complex was going to try and charge me $40 to replace the blinds for a worn out plastic part and it wasn't worth going to court to fight $40. So I spent about an hour in design and print time this weekend to make a replacement. Hopefully this can save you some money as well.
