Hey there! I wanted to print a full set for my rings curtains and didn't really want to buy a full pack for only two gliders, so I just spent a full day designing and printing this :)

 

The set has the glider, hook and ring, which is suitable for heavy curtains and have been tested. It doesn't snap nor break, just make sure you don't apply continuous downward force onto the hooks when sliding the gliders.

 

Print suggestions:

  • Infill: 80-100%
  • Support: tree support for the glider
  • Nozzle head: 0.4 is proper, 0.2 is optimal.

 

How-to:

  1. Print the models.
  2. Remove the tree support from the glider.
  3. Connect the ring with proper force into the glider
  4. Push the ring connector (optional) into the ring open slots.
  5. Insert the glider into the curtain's rails.
  6. Insert the hook onto the ring and attach it to the curtain ring.

 

Usage suggestions:

  • Oil it up! The end result would not be optimal for use unless it's oiled a bit to avoid friction.
  • Avoid snapping it downwards, instead, pull it sideways.
  • Ring connector is not a must, but it does help in supporting the ring being stuck when dragged harshly.
  • Oil the rails slightly and clean afterwards to avoid messing up the curtains texture.
