Sun visor blanks. Interested?

Postby Tigger » Sun Jul 31, 2016 2:58 pm

Hi all.
One of my first posts, so forgive me if this is in the wrong section.
I have a 3d printer, and able to make sun visor blanks in white, tan, or black (painted). This was for my NB, but I have a feeling the NA is similar.
I'm just wondering if this is something anyone would be interested in. I know I was since removing the visors lol.

Ok cool, thanks guys. I'll get some photos tomorrow so you can get an idea of what they'll look like. I've ironically have misplaced my visor screws, so I'll be taping mine in for photographic purposes lol

Here is a sneak peek. Just waiting on new bearing sir the printer. I'm going to add more solid layers to the top for a smoother finish.
I also have some very stiff door bushes I've printed. Not as good as milled ones, but still do the job.

That is ludicrous. They are 3 pound for a pair from Moss.

The reason did it, because it was going to cost 20 something dollars just to ship them, let alone the cost of the actual unit.
Each pair takes about 4 hours to print. I'm thinking about $20 delivered and pained black if you want. The tan is the colour of the plastic. The black is a white plastic.
Thoughts?
