To be honest I may just take out the big guns and use nylon 😉 I have tons of it ( well, ish - 2 spools 1kg spools ) It's going to use a few dozen ... grams 😉Probably worth doing in PETG, or even ABS for a little more heat resistance.
Thanks again! Does this need to stay in there or just spacer for soldering? I had intended to remove the spacer - the idea was to get it off of the plate to solder and then I thought it would no longer be necessary or am I missing something?
If I go with nylon I seriously doubt leaving it there will be an issue. Its ... nylon 😉
With Randy's boards, you should go with that gap primarily if the rectifier case is metal/conductive. You just need a small gap. I'd probably pull out the 3D print just to be sure nothing melts (it probably won't anyway, but why not just remove it after soldering).
As @roboDNA said, his boards are a different design which includes the designed in risk mitigations he noted.
