If you're going to make exactly what you could buy for SJGames - you're better off buying it. Injection molding is maybe 3 orders of magnitude cheaper than 3D printing (which charges by the gram - and is actually pretty hard to get right). Direct imitation of the existing high-quality line is wasting your money.
SJGames posts some guidelines for
sharing things on-line which certainly apply. I think there's some contact info if you want to share something broadly.
