This is a DIY project requiring some electronics, soldering, Arduino IDE and basic knowledge uploading code to a compatible board

You can follow all the relevant step by step on my blog page here: http://www.candco.com.au/2019/03/10/diy-vertical-or-horizontal-blinds-automation-project/

You will require to source the following components:

5V Stepper Motor 28BYJ-48 With Drive Test Module Board ULN2003
WiFi Nodemcu CP2102 Development Board 2.4GHz
M2.5 Counter sunk screws x8
M4 Steel Hex Head Cup Point Grub screw x2
5.5mm x 2.1mm DC power plug
5v Power Supply with a 2.1mm DC plug
Total cost of build should be no more than $20-$25 AUD.

Print instructions

I have designed the base such that it can be printed, upright and without supports but that probably requires some level of 3D printing experience. The only component that I would print with supports is the chain cog. That is because of the dimples on the inside. Also you should print it on its largest flat surface. The top and bottom lid should be printed on their flat surfaces.

I used 3DFillies White PLA+, sliced with Prusa Slic3r at 0.15 layer height and 15% infill.
