Paper Blind Anchors - Side & Center Latch System

If you have ever used temporary paper blackout blinds on a wide window or sliding patio door, you know the tiny plastic clips they come with are completely useless for holding up the full weight of the bunched-up fabric.

This model is a clean, sturdy, and modular solution designed to anchor your paper blinds neatly at the top of your window or door frame. It features countersunk screw holes for a flush, secure mount and requires absolutely zero supports.

Features:

• Modular Design: Includes Left, Right, and Center latches. Use just the Left and Right for standard windows, or add the Center latch if you are running two blinds side-by-side on a wide sliding patio door.

• Heavy-Duty Hold: Deep enough to actually cradle the entire thickness of the folded-up blind.

• Print-Friendly: Optimized to print fast and flat on the bed with no support material needed.

Print Settings

• Material: PLA, PETG, or ABS/ASA (PETG or ASA recommended if exposed to intense, direct sunlight/heat).

• Supports: No

• Infill: 15% - 20% (Grid, Gyroid, or Rectilinear)

• Walls/Perimeters: 3 for extra strength around the screw holes.

Installation Steps

1. Measure & Align: Raise your paper blinds completely to determine the ideal mounting height near the top of your window or door frame.

2. Mark Holes: Place the Left and Right latches at the outer edges of your blind layout. If you are using two blinds side-by-side, place the Center latch directly where the two blinds meet.

3. Secure with Screws: Use countersunk screws to attach the latches to your frame. The flush design ensures the screws won't catch on or tear the paper blinds.

4. Operate: Simply fold your blinds up and rest them securely inside the brackets when you want to let the light in!
