I’ve been looking at eBay and other sources for replacement sunvisors when I had the brilliant idea to check my 3-D printing site to see what they had.
Leading evidence: 'Check 3-d printing site' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion).

My new (to me) 2000 Carrera Cab Came in pretty clean shape.

I’m not sure if it’ll work but it’s certainly worth a try so tomorrow I am going to print out two lids and see if I can replace my broken OEM ones.

Honestly, the 3D material is pretty inexpensive and one sun visor cover maybe uses $1 of material.
These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

My new (to me) 2000 Carrera Cab Came in pretty clean shape. IMS and RMS were already done.
One minor issue to address is the broken sunvisor lids on both the passenger and driver side. I’ve been looking at eBay and other sources for replacement sunvisors when I had the brilliant idea to check my 3-D printing site to see what they had.
Some individual was kind enough to design and scan a sunvisor lid for the 996 and 986.
I’m not sure if it’ll work but it’s certainly worth a try so tomorrow I am going to print out two lids and see if I can replace my broken OEM ones. I will report back here once I’m done.
I’m all about what goes around comes around ….
There is a guy printing them on eBay for $30 a pair. Honestly, the 3D material is pretty inexpensive and one sun visor cover maybe uses $1 of material.
I’m playing with the settings. The guy on eBay puts a metal insert to strengthen the hinges.
I printed two yesterday, let me see how the install goes.

Update
: For some reason when I printed the sun visor lids at 100% size they came out smaller than the original OEM part.
Not a huge deal, you can size up or down your items to be printed, provided they still fit on your print platform. The sun visor part in question might be too big for my printer. I will attempt to reprint it at the correct size and report back. Hopefully it will fit.
In the meantime I have printed an extra cab latch mechanism cap.
I finally got my first decent “test print.”
Next time I will increase High Detail Setting and print density.
I’m skeptical about the hinges. . . I may see if I can reinforce them before installation.
Work in progress . . .
It is recommended to use ABS filament, more stable in heat.
The piece I printed fit great. . . but I couldn’t get it on the hinges. . . broke the tabs.
I’ll print another one and try again.
