Hey everyone! The time has come... Finally listing the sun visor extensions I designed and tested for use with both the left and right side factory sun visors. Installation is quite simple, just line it up and push to snap in place. Follow the post here, video demonstration here:

These sit solidly in place and block sunlight all the way to the B-Pillar of the car (behind the front door). They are made of high quality ASA which is resistant to high temperatures, UV light and environmental stress cracking. Perfect for automotive applications.

Cost: $17.99 for one side (either LH or RH) or $29.99 for both LH and RH sides + shipping (calculated through pirateship.com - I've had the best luck with their services). Starting out as US ONLY for now. I'm still working on how to deal with customs for international orders since I know there are people wanting them and I will hopefully have that figured out within the next week or so.

If you would like to place an order, please fill out the form here: Order Form then I'll create an invoice and send it back to you.

Orders will be processed FIFO and I can only produce about 2 vehicle sets per day so please bear with me if there are some delays initially.

Great, I will place an order to Australia as soon as you are ready. The darker charcoal colour Please.

 

Thank you all so much for your orders! I've been working nonstop since the first one and should have the first two orders ready to ship out today, with more ready tomorrow.

 

Ordered and paid. Thank you.

 

Your's is printing as I type this! Should finish around midnight and go out tomorrow.

Thanks so much!

 

I appreciate your efforts on this and for offering the fruits of your labors to the group. My order is in. Looking forward to receiving them when you're able.

 

Quick update - my wife and I have been working nonstop since listing and were able to get 5 more orders finished, pulling the final set off the printer now and then heading to the post office in hopes to beat the 5pm collection deadline.

Thanks again all for your orders and patience!

New shipment of filament arrives tomorrow (I already cleared out the local microcenter so I'm relying on amazon) and our Etsy listing is basically ready to go for the non-US folks. We're going to take the rest of today and tomorrow off then hit the ground running on Monday.

 

Thank you for your hard work. We appreciate it!

 

Alright I lied, we're back at it today. Performed some maintenance and cleaning to keep things tip top and already making the next batch. In case anyone's curious about our little production corner...

I also noticed that the ETA for the some of the first batches that went out is as early as Monday! Excited and nervous at the same time... Hope you all like them.

 

Will you share the print file (happy to pay for it) so we can print ourselves. I am in the UK so it'd be a lot easier and cheaper.

 

I'm planning on it, yes - just want a chance to get my own parts out first. I'll list the digital files for sale at some point in the near future.

 

@Sargnarg the Hardgeharg and @SteveCAZ we just added the digital file as an option in the Google forms. If you would like to purchase it, feel free to fill it out and I can send it to you via your preferred method.

 

I received the parts in the mail today! Well done. They simply look like those shown in your video so I didn't bother with photos. Thanks again for your efforts.

 

Heyyyy! First to comment that you received them. Thanks a ton, glad you like them.

Was the install ok? It was a very tricky balance between tight enough and too tight.

 

I must be missing a link somewhere? How do I order a pair?

 

No worries, I wrote a big long post so it can be hard to find haha. The link is in the below line, click "order form".

If you would like to place an order, please fill out the form here: Order Form then I'll create an invoice and send it back to you.

 

Are you intentionally not allowing ordering a complete set plus the digital file. Is it an OR situation?

 

Oh - I didn't think about that. We can change from radio buttons to check boxes. I'm at work but I'll update when I can. Thanks for the feedback!

I'm also now offering the digital file for both LH and RH sides, cost is $10. I'm offering this under a personal use only license. You may not distribute or sell the file or the printed model. Please please respect this as I've put tens if not hundreds of hours into this. I'm not trying to make money on this, just trying to recoup my costs.

Would love to buy a pair! Can you send me instructions to purchase?

 

Hey there! I'm not sure if you already sent your order but go ahead and click this link: Order Form

And fill it out based on what you'd like! We'll send an invoice based on your selection and shipping quote, then you can pay at your convenience. We'll ship out ASAP based on order number.

 

Got mine today, perfect fit! Well constructed too, thank you!!!

 

Mine arrived, as well. Very nicely made. Thanks!

 

Awesome, thanks so much all for the feedback!

I should have all the new orders (received before this post) out by tomorrow as well.

I have created the Etsy listing for international orders but want to get caught up on shipping out current orders first. I'll post the link tomorrow most likely.

 

@Ol Hobo @eGuru @RmK71 @Java @Dude tagging you all as you previously expressed interest and are outside of the US. I have now added an Etsy link for international orders (Polestar 2 Sun Visor Extender - Etsy) to the original listing. If you would like to place an order, feel free to do so there.

If you would like to order just the digital file ONLY, you can order through the normal US order page.

Since I am not in the US and would like to buy the digital file, what methods of payment are you supporting?

 

Ordered mine Saturday, came USPS today. They both, right and left, firmly/snugly snapped into place. It looks very professional. Thanks for the fast service.

 

Thanks everyone! You're all too kind, I really appreciate it.

I'm just happy I can help people. This is really the only thing that's bugged me with the car!

This is not a product I have found I have needed to date (combination of my driving style, windy routes- with terrain and built up city blocks to provide shade, dark window tints and fancy-pants RayBans), but I cannot commend you enough on doing this for your fellow owners. Realistically you are doing this for love, not money, as to compensate you for your time and effort appropriately would blow the unit price of these to astronomical levels. Although if you do end up being the Jeff Bezos of automotive sun shade add-ons, just remember all your start-up clients and offer them a free trip on your mega-yacht!

 

I wanted to get the files for the 3d-printing, but my phonenumber is from Czech Republic and it is not accepted. It is like this : +420 xxx yyyzzz without the spaces- Can you correct this in the Order Form please.

 

Hey there, so sorry! For now can you just put a random number (1234567890)?

We will consider how to fix in the future

 

For the next commercial revision of the product, I would suggest the following changes:
1. Make the stationary part longer so that it covers the ugly warning labels completely.
2. Change the notched out area to a curve that is the same shape as the visor profile (with a clearance offset)

 

Thanks for the feedback, unfortunately both are due to limitations of 3D printing.

1. This was my original intent, however, as the part got taller it also got less stable causing pretty awful surface finish issues due to the part wobbling more.
2. The overhangs have limitations and a curved overhang is extremely difficult to print. This causes it to curl, droop, etc and likely would cause failures. If I were printing in PLA it might be better, but with ASA in a hot chamber there's no chance.

 

item is showing as sold out on Etsy

 

Should be back up now!

 

Got mine today, satisfying click, nice fit. Thanks!

 

Hey all - quick update for the holiday weekend. We might have some processing delay for new orders after tonight but we will get to you by next Tuesday at the latest. Apologies for any delays and I hope everyone has a happy and safe 4th of July!

 

Hello @zswickliffe , in what measurement system are the sizes within the STL files. Inches/feet or millimeters/meters- i need that for 3D printing at a 3D printing shop.

 

Hey Abraham! They're in millimeters!

Also, please note that they might have to scale the height of the slider a bit depending on their machine's accuracy. If it's too difficult to insert it's likely due to it being slightly too tall (by 0.2-0.4mm)
