Possible differentiation
Where a printed version could win, read off the price evidence rather than assumed.
Amazon's median filament guide product is $13.49. At that price a printed unit has very little room for filament, machine time and fees, so a differentiated or personalised version is the only version worth modelling.

Next validation step
