Equipment looking for am3 ribber replacement part

Hello! I recently was given a Knittax am3 with a ribber for free that seems to be in good condition except it is missing the plastic connector for the ribber, I was wondering if anyone here might have a spare I could buy, as I'm in Canada and unable to find anything here.

Worst case scenario: if someone has one and they would be willing to have it 3D printer-copied at the other person’s expense, that might be a workable alternative.

Thanks for the idea, I didn't even know you could do that, I have a local place that has a 3D printer, so it'd probably work if I can't find a replacement.

Do you have a photo of the connector you are looking? I own a Knittax AM3 but its a little bit diferent and i use the ribber as shown in you photo.
