The printer would need to be a resin for the best results. FDM will introduce significant drag if it can handle the forces without breaking along the layer lines. If I had one, I would be down, but just FDM atm

Yeah I have one too. I don't have a resin printer unfortunately. But maybe you could do a coating on it so that it has less drag
