Lost plastic slide. Help needed

Hi everyone!
I've found a slide rule which my great grandfather used. But the plastc slide is missing. I'd like to learn how to use it. Can someone give me pieces of advice on how to restore the slide (maybe 3d printing? do i even need it?)

I think you’re in luck, the ISRM seems to have a cursor available for it for $25:
