Default Interest in 3D printed spark wire holders?

I'm having a friend 3D print the two fuel rail mounted plastic spark wire holders and the one on the front cam housing. I wanted to gage people's interest in buying these for less than you can find on pelican parts.

I'd be interested in a set.

Several sets, but what is estimated cost, and availability?

Only if they can withstand under hood temps and accept wire sizes 8mm or larger...

Mostly seeing how much interest there is (which determines cost via quantity).
It'll be ABS plastic I believe, and I'll test it out before I sell them, since I don't want to give anything that's going to fail.
As for wire size accommodations, it's going to be the exact same as the stock versions

Going to experiment with a couple different plastics actually, But we'd likely sell them as a set of 3 (the two on the fuel rail and the one on the cam housing). Probably around $15 for a set of 3 or $5 each.
$15 for a single piece from pelican seemed absurd to me.

Can you you double shot molding where a legend in white is embedded in black body?

Something great would be replacement buttons for the heater/air conditioning control unit.
