This is a replacement hook for the plastic mounting brackets that tend to break over time. The brackets have a tiny “J” shaped hook that, once mounted, you hang the back edge of your blinds on before rotating them up into their spring clip. This “J” often snaps leaving you with a broken bracket. New blinds can be very expensive, so we just fixed the mounting brackets.
If you have broken brackets, you can fix them with this print and some glue.

Post Print
Once printed, line them up along the edge of the existing bracket where the J hook has broken. Medium super glue works great. Glue along both edges that touch the existing plastic for strength.
Usually, the J hook breaks but still leaves a protruding bit of plastic. This is nice because it helps carry the weight of the blinds. This print merely helps retention and acts as an assist with the weight. The real value here is that it gives you the hook again so you can rotate the blind header back into the snap without the bottom pulling foward.
