Has someone experienced with a 3D printed part? The original one is extremely expensive, the design is not the best one and so on...

Almost the final design. I'll check some dimensions after the last print is completed and I'll post the STL here.
Really, these 15-20 bucks, which traders ask for the original one are not so much. My motivation was raised because I want to have a little different top mount, with some boxes for small PCB's. The part is relatively big and is necessary to have a raft, to be not wrapped in the printing process. ABS is good as a final result but is difficult to use in 3D additive technologies. Walls are 1.5 mm, fill 20%, support. Some final tasks by hand are necessary.

For the concrete task, this is enough. Everyone can use it for free. If someone wants to sell it or want to have some additional feature in the model, let me say. A small tip will be welcome 
About printing tunes. The model is relatively sophisticated. A high-quality print is expected if you want to use it. Near the connector the things aren't the best, some rework by hand is expected. PLA is not suitable material in this case. 0.4 mm layer is OK for home use. For sale - better. No reason to order somewhere to print it if you don't want exactly this. The price for the service will be higher than the original top mount is.
