Looks like an easy part to machine. Seems like you could make it out of aluminum for extra durability as well. I usually source parts in the 5-10 range and would expect to pay 150-200 for that type of part in those low quantities. Probably in the 1/2 range for making 50 of them.
I think 3d printing would be fine and easy as well. I recently bought a $200 machine (creality ender 3 pro) and it makes surprisingly decent parts. Even being the lowest grade chinesium printer I think it could make suitable parts.
I think it is a pretty ideal part and quantity for 3 printing. You could fit 10 or so per print on a cheap machine and have them knocked out in a few evenings. Pretty cheap to sublet out the printing to shapeways or similar.
