So it's back to the drawing board. The problem is that one electrical pin that is already very close to the edge. That limits the thickness of the wall on that side. The 3D printed material flexes a little but when you bend it to much it will shatter. Not like a PVC that will not shatter.
I wonder what it takes to 3D print a mold and use some type of injection molding.
