Is it possible to "print" these parts?

I don’t want to jump into someone else’s chili, it seems like you’ve got some experienced folks willing to help. But, if for whatever reason you need additional support, please let me know. I’ve got ‘some’ experience with 3D, CAD, illustration, and general technical drawing, and like to help when I can.

Again, I’m not trying to get into other folks chili, but I highly recommend that whoever does your final CAD drawing does so by taking measurements off the physical part and not the photos alone. Photos are fine for a reference, but unless you have a lot of experience with photography (correct lens, lighting, and setup), there will always be some distortion.

Lastly, I agree that based on your photos, the original looks like phenolic board/sheet (paper and resin). I have a CNC and laser cutter, personally, I’d try laser cutting them.

Looking forward to seeing the end product. Best of luck. ?

Yeah, this is definitely the route I am taking.

Right now the primary goal with using the photo for modeling is just to get an idea for what it would cost to get these laser or water jet cut by one of the many online places.

Assuming these don't end up costing $10 each I would want to get my hands on an actual part to refine the model. I'd then plan on cutting a couple samples on my CNC to verify that it is dimensioned properly. At that point I'd be confident that the model could be used for production.
