About the Rockslide-style slide

Rockslide slides are known for their shape: a tapered bore, a cutaway for the knuckle and a little finger rest. This model isn't an exact copy, but it has those three features, and because it's parametric you set it to your own finger.

Edit the parameters in Fusion 360. The designer's one warning: Height must be greater than InnerTaperHeight plus TaperToBase, or the shape goes wrong. A printed slide sounds different from glass or brass, so treat it as a cheap one to try rather than a replacement.
