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.

    Personally, I would measure the gap between strings as well as string with. Calipers work best when you can measure against something - not center to center distances. You’ll need string diameters anyway to make the indentations for them to ride in.

      Yeah, I have a new set ready to go. Either 57 or 59. (The B) I’m just hoping that printing can pull off the slot needed for the high E.
