The reason you're replacing them is likely because the injection-molded original parts failed already, and injection-molded parts are a lot tougher than FDM 3D printed ones. You might want to look into more resilient materials and processes, like semi-flexible plastics and multi-jet printing.
    Thought about this though I do not know how strong the 3D Printed material really is.
    He could 3D Print some molds.

    He Could use a Strong molding material.
