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.

You mean from the end here as circled?

Yes, exactly!

On of the thing I was actually also considering was making small tabs that I could use to keep it from sliding side to side and still replaceable. Think that would be wise or just glue the bastard down?

Just use a tiny drop of superglue to hold it in place. It can still be carefully broken out and be replaced this way. The rest is done by string tension.
