Ok first test gear related 3DP done. 1740A feet.
Took four attempts to get what I wanted.
1. Printed beanflying's version. I printed the wrong one to start with though

. Fail

.
2. This time I decided to make my own because I've learned enough FreeCAD now. This is not a reflection on beanflying's design which is excellent but the fact that I need to do things the hard way. This time I fucked up by making the mounting hole too small

. I did however put an orientation nubbin on the top which works nicely.
3. This attempt I got the hole right but didn't fillet enough. I also removed the adhesion base as I didn't need it. Printed perfectly with no finishing required first time though.
4. Fixed those issues and printed 100% fill and it's sorted.

I'll upload the STL and FreeCAD files to Thingiverse when I get some time.
I will say at no point have I had to futz with the printer or argue with it. It just works. What you see is how it came out like unfinished other than on the left two, breaking the adhesion off.
Will print another three feet over tomorrow
