I put the printed parts in! They were too large to go in, I had to scrape the edges with a blade removing a considerable amount. Maybe that is normal deburring, I don't know. Then I had to pound them up in there and they fit tight, which is good. The little end pieces broke off even with finger pressure, I guess the brittle material is not the same strength as the original PVC. If anyone has suggestions or improvements post it here.
