Tbh I'm not so sure about the idea of printing the entire handle at home.
I wanted to do this at first, but my quick estimation is that (if you're going for realistic measurements) I'd need around 60 h of printing time and the material I used alone estimates around 9 €. Another concern would be that due to the formfactor and limitations of printing size you'd probably end up printing large amounts of support.
So what I did was just buying a defect controller for 10€ on ebay. Now I don't have the hassle to print and glue everything together at the same price + I got some nice electronics I might be able to use for free on top.
Since you asked how feasible it is: I guess you can go for it and it should work, but it might neither save you money nor give you better results. At least for the handle itself. For customization purposes it totally makes sense imo to 3d print the rest. (I'm going to do that since I want to build a force feedback yoke)
