The rollers were delrin, not the cage. Reverse prototyping via scanner is quite complicated and takes weeks to figure out for complex shapes if dimensions are critical. The rollers were delrin, not the printed cage. Rhino is still available for free download and use for 60 days or so. It can be

There was a guy on BW that 3D printed one of those nylon blocks (sliding jaws?) that the window regulator rides in on a W126. Had one break on him on a Saturday, so he drew it up in Autocad and went somewhere locally to print it. Turned out well and he offered the file up to anyone who wanted
