Hello, I have been modelling a few 3d models of the most brittle components in the Venetian blind for a friend.
I was wondering if there is interest for such parts to either organize a small batch (if I can print them myself) or just make it available through Shapeways
The parts:

Re: Parts for the venetian blind
Presumably one could just add an ikea blind and pretty much have a working rear blind?

Re: Parts for the venetian blind
I don't think the blinds were very popular in the UK, probably not enough sun burning through the rear hatch to make it worth putting up with the rattling. We don't even see many on the French cars when we go to their meets.

Re: Parts for the venetian blind
The reason you don't see many is because all the abovementioned parts were broken. It gives a nice "1980s" touch to the car, though.
I would like to see how it works to adapt a cheap blind to the 480's rear window
(and then sell it to gullible people for hundreds of euros, muhahahahahahah )

Re: Parts for the venetian blind
I ordered mine from Shapeways and I am very happy with them.
It would be great if the intermediate ladder "rungs", that hold each slat in place could also get made...

Re: Parts for the venetian blind
Great to hear that they are working well. I do not have a complete blind, unfortunately, but if you could send me the part, even if broken, I can probably make a 3d model of that as well.
