Hey there. I have an Ibanez AX-7221 (Japanese made version) that has a damaged nut. I need to replace it, but am financially locked but do have access to a 3d printer.
Are there materials that can be printed which would be ok for this task and stand up to the stresses?
Edit: <3 to everyone that has given advice here. Much better than the 3d printing community’s answers I got.
3D prints rarely fail in compression, so I suspect you’ll likely be fine. You can probably get away without glueing it down, so even if they have a finite life you could replace them as needed.
You will likely want something that’s on the durable side of the spectrum, vs hard and brittle. IMO best to worst: ASA/ABS, PETG, PLA+, PLA.
