The spacers were printed on a Fortus FDM 400mc (Large, not that it really maters) from ABS-M30 Material. Technically the machine is 'Production Grade', but I'd imagine just about any printer could knock these out. Worst case would be that the printer doesn't hit the required accuracy - IIRC, the spacers out of the Fortus ran something like +/- .002 - so you might need to sand or tweak the parts a bit for a good fit.
Not criticisizing you for choosing to 3d print these, but for teams reading wanting to make similar parts, they could easily be turned on a lathe out of plastic really fast.
