Could be promising as long as the print is water tight.
Plenty of plumbing is done with moulded plastic pipes and fittings, and I’ve 3D printed garden hose fittings (things like GHT to BSP adapters, which aren’t easy to buy) with success, so it’s not like moulding is the only way to make plastic good enough.
