The armrest you pictured is approximately 381mm in length & 133.5mm in width (15”x5 1/4”).

I did not include height because that (imo) would be user defined.

At this site, www.3ders.org listed under Assembled Build envelope (W x D x H mm), are sizes of most hobby 3d printers, where only a handful meet your specifications.

(otoh) One could design a 2 part armrest which could work and be (imo) more cost effective.

There are some user forums which list printing services that may be able to help with a more cost effective price: 3D Printing & Reprap Forum

I have thought about printing a few things for the Twins, but they would (imo) not be cost effective without making them 'for sale' and personally I prefer playing with hobbies rather than marketing.

(otoh) There are 2 (non-3d printed) armrests and 1 with an upgrade I have been looking at: TOM'S Armrest / OEM Armrest / Alcantara upgrades / OEM Armrest
