"The smaller the usable parts, the smaller the shipping container, lower costs."
Just saw this thread this morning. To keep cost down and stay within the limits of your printer could you not build larger pieces from sub-assemblies that you epoxy together. This would also allow the piece parts to be of different colors. Doesn't help with the time required or the cost to produce the part but still a way to make larger pieces. I was thinking of the suggestion made earlier of the rail holder spanning both the ID slots and being one piece and you mentioned this was beyond the size limits of your printer.
