That's a Sharkguard isn't it?Im also interested in hearing how stiff/durable parts made from 3d printing can be? I know there is a wide range of filements that can be used, and have heard of 'carbon fiber' filament recently.
The part in question is a bracket that bolts under the cast table of a wood Tablesaw and holds a 'splitter'. Eg:

The orange level and stainless 'splitter' it holds are attached to the 'part' I illustrate in my first post above.
My pics are of a sharkguard bracket for a Unisaw, yes. My second post above was a generic sharkguard photo that is not related to the bracket in my first post. I added the generic sharkguard photo to allow people to visualize what the bracket might be for.That's a Sharkguard isn't it?
What make and model saw?
To answer part B of your original question, I don't think I would trust a 3D printed part for this. It will work for a while, until it doesn't. And that would be during a cut of course.My pics are of a sharkguard bracket for a Unisaw, yes.

Fusion360 has a Canvas import feature. Put your part on a scanner, take a jpg image of it. Or take some digital photos perpendicular to the face you need to model. Import a jpg into Fusion as a Canvas, then use the Calibrate function to calibrate the photo to an actual dimension.
I am totally one of those people. it's really about peace of mind, I don't have to worry that the 14 hour print I'm going to start is going to have adhesion issues 4 hours in. In the end l, it's all up to personal preference though.Ppl will tell you to go Auto bed level but frankly with the stronger springs I only re-level once every few weeks.
