This is the printer my guy used. I don't know too much about it. He said the program was around 5 hrs to run.

Looks good. That's a popular printer, so good input on the screw holes. I think the JB Weld is a good fix if that happens to others. JB is stronger than the plastic I'm sure -- a squirt of Elmers is probably more than enough.

For sure. I think this is a great tool, and project for that matter. My printer guy is actually an ex-student of mine, now a skilled machinist. He says it would be quite easy to CNC these out of aluminum as well.
Anyway, just want to thank you for this program file and the opportunity.

Definitely could be CNC'd, but I'm a big 3D printer so just went with it. Also wanted to put something out there people could make themselves for free

Agreed
