Description
The rod is Printed in ABS at 90% infill. Original part appears to be ABS and other plastics just don't work right. I've had this in my car now for 6 months with no problems through winter and summer.
I tested PETG and PLA at multiple infill ratings and they turned out to be just too soft. After a few uses over a week the visor started to sag as the plastic smashed and flexed. Also, PETG will only hold the visor up in the stowed or 180 degree out position reliably. ABS with the same print has a smooth hold throughout the visor swing.
I used a raft with full supports to get this to print smoothly.
The slice cover was designed to slip over the cut and was printed in grey PETG with fuzzy skin setting. It has the added advantage of lightly dragging on the roof liner helping the visor stay at any angle like it is supposed to.
**IF yours is just falling a little and not totally flopping down the rod may still be in one piece and you may not need to cut it out. From trial and error, I found that it can be pulled out if you take it off the roof of the car so you can work with it, flip the visor so it is in the upright position (90 degree angle to rod elbow) then pull straight out. The flat part of the rod lines up with the retainer metal section that is supposed to pinch it and keep it up. It wont pull out in other orientations unless it is broken off inside.

Print price estimates
Planning prices for one print, not a final quote. Defaults use a size allowance inferred from the part name, not a measured or sliced model. Filament suitability must be confirmed.
| Filament | USD / print | Application notes |
|---|---|---|
| PLA | $28.50 | Indoor prototypes; not a default material for hot vehicle interiors. |
| PETG | $29.00 | General-purpose candidate; heat and creep need review. |
| ASA | $32.50 | Candidate for UV exposure; verify temperature and geometry. |
| ABS | $31.50 | Enclosed printing; review application and dimensions. |
| TPU | $37.50 | Flexible designs only; not a substitute for rigid materials. |
| Nylon | $37.50 | Moisture, tolerances and application require review. |
| PA-CF | $42.50 | Filled nylon; abrasive filament and fit need review. |
Pricing assumptions and exclusions
USD: ($6 setup + $3 finishing + filament weight × assumed spool cost × 1.25 waste allowance + print hours × $2.50 × material time factor) ÷ 0.65. Rounded up to the next $0.50.
Assumed spool costs per kg: PLA $25, PETG $30, ASA $40, ABS $30, TPU $45, Nylon $65, PA-CF $95. Time factors: PLA/PETG 1.0, ASA/ABS 1.2, TPU 1.6, Nylon 1.4, PA-CF 1.5. These are proposed shop rates, not measured production costs.
Design work, test fitting, hardware, shipping and tax are additional where needed. Multi-file sets may need several prints. Use actual sliced weight and time when available. Final pricing is confirmed in writing.
