T-track and hold down questions

CNC Machines Shapeoko Pro

I searched quite a bit but couldn’t quite find the info.

Does anybody know what size t-track is being used? Would normal Rockler t-track accessories work in these slots on the Pro?

Also has anybody had any luck with 3d printing hold downs like the Gator tooth clamps? I know they won’t have the rigidity of an aluminum version but I also think that if I’m not on good terms with my friend Clearance that day a piece of PLA catching a small endmill would be cheaper than a softwood feed speed collision.

and there are notes on the dimensions for the slots at:

Rockler t-track accessories do work but you have to replace the Rockler supplied tbolt on the bottom with a longer one to reach the depth of the Shapeoko Pro t-track.
