Has anyone tried 3d printing the rings from the Thenar Dry Glove system?

I wanted to see if it was possible to print a few glove side spares for the standard size thenar suit side rings that are on my suit.Is there a specific reason you want the thenars. I have a set of the xl thenars but they want fit on my suit with the way the wrist cuff is made. Without trying them I can't comment for sure on how good the system works but looking at them on the table unless you have larger hands that wont fit kubi 100 I'd look at a different design. The shape of thenars makes a ton of sense but I question how good they don/doff and stay on.
I have printed a larger rolock copy, they work BUT I had to modify my suit arms to glue on bigger cuff rings.
Right now I'm printing a heavier duty antares because they are the only thing my hand barely fits into and I have ovals on my suit.
Lastly what style printer filament or resin. Filament no way you will be filing for days, except for the glove spanner ring.
Resin ok but still finicky getting the perfect oring retention and sealing pressure.
