This is a weight holder to weigh down the drawstring for vertical blinds.

The plastic weight holder that came with the blinds to my place was so old and crumbly that I accidentally broke it the day I got the keys.  Now here I am 7 years later and I'm finally replacing it.

The coin sockets are sized for Canadian or American pennies, or any disk shaped thing 19 mm in diameter, up to 9.9 mm tall.  Each coin holder can fit 6 pennies without preventing the holder from closing.  It may fit 7, but it'll be close.

They fit together in either orientation.  Each half has 1 peg and 1 hole, and both ends have holes for the string to pass through.

If using coins, print the coin half and the empty half.

If you have differently shaped weights, print 2 copies of the empty half and put whatever weight you want into them.

The wheel helps the string roll through without rubbing on it.  It feels nice to use, but is optional.

The two halves just friction fit together, nothing fancy.

Included the FreeCAD file to modify for your needs.
