I seriously doubt plastic printed ones will hold securely, which is why they are made from aluminum to start with. But if you have a 3D printer, search on thingverse.

You might find 3D-printable Tridaptor models on sites like Thingiverse, Printables, or GrabCAD. If nothing exact is available, you could modify a similar tripod adapter design in Fusion 360 or Tinkercad. What specific dimensions or mounting points do you need?

Do some research and form your own opinion about the structural integrity of 3D-Printed things... many printed items will hold up to more load/force than you can break without using a hammer/tool.
My 3D-printed stuff on my Harley has lasted more than 15 years and several thousand folks have download/printed some.
That said, searching Thingiverse for 'camera telescope mount' brings up this page...
screenshot from that linked page... and there are more pages to view (click pages at bottom of that page)
