    How much did the printer and materials cost? Or the time to educate on cad and printing?

    Just saying, it was likely far more money and time/effort than merely 12 cents.

        Depends on the material. ABS would be a decent material for this application - as long as you have a decent enough setup to scrub / clean the air in the chamber / room.

        PLA would have a hard time in that position, PETG might be OK, Nylon may creep after too many heat cycles. Depending on how hot those parts get this is.
