Do you use 3d printed mounts?

Printing a clip like the one shown, for our team, would be much more expensive (filament isn't cheap) than the COTS part.

Not 100% sure what is or is not compatible, but the second page (tank) he linked states "A mounting bracket is available to order (am-2008), but is not included when ordering just this item."

We buy ABS at ~$12/lb, so the 0.066lb bracket should cost roughly $0.80 to print vs. the $2 list price (which is also very reasonable). While I wouldn't get in the business of printing them to save my team money, if I happened to need one and my options were to rush order one (and pay shipping on a single item) versus print one and have it in a few hours, I could see justifying printing one.
