Hello, I have been modelling a few 3d models of the most brittle components in the Venetian blind for a friend.

The parts:

Presumably one could just add an ikea blind and pretty much have a working rear 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.

(and then sell it to gullible people for hundreds of euros, muhahahahahahah
)

It would be great if the intermediate ladder "rungs", that hold each slat in place could also get made...

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.
