3d printed nut? (lemmy.ca)

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.

Yeah, I have a new set ready to go. Either 57 or 59. (The B) I'm just hoping that printing can pull off the slot needed for the high E.
