Daisy 880 Front Sight

I'm interested in working with someone to print a front sight replacement for Daisy 880 that has either a globe sight, or a dove tail to mount a globe sight in place of the factory hooded front pin sight.
Was talking to a guy that teaches 3D printing at a local vo tech and he was very interested. The administration put a stop to it because we were working on manufacturing gun parts!
Would use this for 9 year old shooters in our club. These rifles are light and plenty accurate but with a crappy front pin.
Any advice appreciated!

do you have a file or do you need the CAD work done? if its just printing I can rattle a few off for you. I can do the cad work but I am backed up at the moment. I actually have a powerline 880 sitting in my garage as well.

Printing out the front sight piece now.
It's got a 3/8" dove tail replacing the sight. Pyramyd has the globes for around $20.00

Saw pictures of the 880 Dovetail I sent. Report says it eliminated the 'Tape Mod' and he's doing more testing.
I did see one area I want to adjust and just waiting for a measurement to correct it.

Part corrected for a better fit!
I'm now ready to print for anyone that has no 3D printer.
I run double inside and outside walls for extra strength with a 96 percent Grid infill.
There's reasons for that.
