Pre facelift HPE Sun Visor 'bushes
« on: July 09, 2026, 09:43:48 PM »
Hi

These plastic parts locate the sun visor on my HPE and fix it to the metal cutout in the roof (first photo is original). Both originals had broken bits and were cracked. These turned out to be the most challenging part yet due to main 'flat' part not being parallel on both sides. After many iterations (second photo is PLA final test part) I printed them in PETG (last photo) and they fit nicely, only question I have is if it is too rigid a plastic to last, but will not know that for a while!

Note the left and right are mirror images, ie they are handed to suit the contours of the roof.
