3d printing is easy to do in terms of the steps involved being quite simple but it takes a load of practice to be able to do it consistently and to a high standard. There are so many quirks and pitfalls to be learned. Its quite typical for somebody who is new to 3d printing to have ten failed prints for every successful one. That said, it really isn't complicated or difficult, it just takes a bit of experimenting and fiddling before you get it right. This is actually supposed to be an encouraging message, I just wanted to point out that its not as simple as clicking print and an object appearing.
If your housemate was happy to give you a jump start by giving you a crash course, I reckon you could be hammering out visor parts within a couple of hours and it sounds like the demand is still there.
