[T3] Seat Guides

[Tony Rongey]

 The guides are a fairly hard vinyl or nylon.  I can't imagine anything I've printed with the usual 3D filaments holding up very long with the load that's on those rails.Of course the beauty of printing is that it wouldn't cost much to try.  The originals are pretty tight in the track so I'd probably print a couple millimeters undersized to help with assembly.

 I see that ISP has a set of seat guides for $50.

Now that I have access to a 3D printer at a local makerspace, these seem to
be very doable on a 3D printer.

Has anyone done this?
Has anyone scanned a set to get 3D models?
Scanning is really easy with a cell phone nowadays.

Thoughts?
