Anyway, we found one design that prints the mount in layered pieces that then screw together (I added some glue) and it works pretty well.
For a home 3d PLA printer I would, too, be concerned about the durability of the locking mechanism and would integrate the stock molded lock mechanism in the design, since it can be conveniently taken out anyway.
