Looking for (3D printed maybe) saddles suggestions

I tried a Fizik for a while. It was very comfortable and seems to have noticeable effect dampening road buzz and bumpy trails. What i didn't care for was that it scuffed up the seat on my bibs. today i rode a new gravel bike. it's pretty stiff not a huge issue per se but after the ride I got to thinking that maybe I should consider a more comfortable saddle. For reference I'm on a Prologo Dimension carbon now. I have liked the saddle on other bikes.

I ride the same Form Cycling Throne RS saddle on both my road and gravel bike - https://formcycling.cc/collections/a...ucts/throne-rs

I bought a 3D printed carbon fiber Ryet saddle from Aliexpress for my trainer bike to try something new. It's good for 1 hour trainer rides, but doesn't fit me perfectly. Many people love the saddle and it's only about $50.

The new Specialized Power Expert has 3D inserts that are covered so it won’t tear up your bib shorts. I have not tried it myself. I am on a Power Mimic and like it.

I'm a big fan of the Ryet. Its exactly the same form factor as the Shimano Stealth, so if you are good with a short nosed saddle it'll work. There are 155 variants (the carbon rail/plastic shell ones) and 144 (the full carbon). I haven't noticed unusual shorts wear, but its one data point.
