We love IKEA. We never have trouble with parts missing from our purchases, so we were really surprised to find an endcap missing from a räcka curtain rod.
I could have contacted IKEA. They have great customer service and probably could have sent me a replacement, but where's the sport in that? Much more interesting to design and print my own repair.
The endcap is a simple plug, with a threaded hole for the finial to attach. The plug has a small bump along the cylinder that helps hold it in place.
Of course, I forgot that every rod has two diameter rods -- an inner rod nests within the outer rod, so that the total length is adjustable. I was missing the cap for the larger rod, but the first time through I took measurements of the inside, smaller rod. So here are the replacement parts for both.
Next step: design and print some more interesting finials. Moose antlers, anyone?
