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.

    Yes, exactly!

    Cool, will do. Can’t be harder than the Ocarina I printed, lol.

    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.

    Gotcha. Here’s to hoping I don’t mess this up! Thanks for your advice!
