Millard Blind End Cap
A broken blind end cap shouldn't sideline otherwise good Millard equipment, and with a decent sample to work from it usually doesn't have to. With your sample on the bench this is a realistic reproduction job.

Why these break
Roller blind end caps crack and the blind drops. The factory part is made from styrene-based plastic that loses its plasticisers over the years. It gets glassy, then one warm day it lets go under a load it used to handle easily.
How we reproduce them
Reproducing one is straightforward for us: we measure your sample (broken is fine, as long as most of it is there), match the profile, and print in a tougher modern material. Turnaround is usually within the week.
We print these in ABS. ABS matches the look and feel of the factory plastic, takes a sanded or textured finish well, and handles cabin temperatures without complaint.
Many plastic parts can be recreated, repaired, redesigned, or printed, depending on size, load, heat, material, and available samples. Bring in the damaged part or upload photos for assessment and we'll give you a straight answer before any work starts.
