Have you tried doing a search for makerspaces in your area? If you're in a reasonably sized city, there's a good chance you have a makerspace around you, and a chance that they may have a vacuum former for use. There's a makerspace in my city with a vacuum former that I'm planning to use for my build. In my case, you have to pay a monthly membership for 24/7 access, but they have open house nights once a week with free access to their equipment for the public. Might be worth looking into.
 
I mean, I caaaaaaaan, but it would be a lot of expenses for just the one visor. I suggest looking into making your own small former, it's actually not complicated !

how much would we be talking here? i dont mind paying a bit for high quality pieces. and like i said id be down for shipping my 3d printed visor with buck for it
 
Goodwill or second hand toaster oven. I got one for $5. Couple 2’ sheets of MDF. Couple screws with wing nuts and a shop vac.
Here’s my cheap former. Pretty simple and crude!

good luck! Helmet came out great as well!!

Honeslty the biggest expense will probably be shipping it here to Canada. Search Johnsonarmprops on facebook or insta, you'll probably save more money keeping this in the US :)
