I printed one set with PLA+ to get sense for the printing and fitment. For final use, what would be the recommended filament, Nylon, ABS, other? Not so much worried about replacing if break, but would be more concerned about debris that could be left on the track if is did and the best to prevent if that makes sense.
Also any tips on printing specs, material, etc? Using Lulzbot Taz6.
What are people using to bond the two pieces, and would it be better to print one piece at a time vs 2?
Thanks in advance!

I’ve had good luck with ABS so far. I haven’t tried anything else because I leave it to the experts at work to do the printing. Debris is just plastic, and the one scoop I accidentally broke sheared off cleanly.
The two pieces need not be bonded together. In a brilliant bit of design engineering, the small circular piece is inserted inside the scoop and fits through the hole. Once you install the hose and clamp it to the smaller piece, the scoops can rotate independently of the hose and the clamp holds the whole thing together.
If your printer is small you may have to do one side at a time. Ours was big enough to handle both.
