Description
This is a simple replacement retaining pin designed for small rod or window blind mechanisms. I originally lost the original plastic pin that locks the rod connection, so I designed this replacement to fix the mechanism without replacing the entire assembly. Specifications: • Diameter: 5 mm • Length: 15 mm • Head diameter: 6 mm • Head thickness: 2 mm The pin features a head (stopper) to prevent it from sliding through the hole. It can be inserted manually and holds by friction. Use case: • Window blind mechanisms • Rod connectors • Small mechanical linkages • General household repairs Printing recommendations: • Material: PETG (recommended) or PLA • Infill: 100% • Orientation: vertical • Slight tolerance included for easy insertion Note: Depending on your printer tolerance, you may need to slightly adjust the diameter (±0.1 mm).
