I purchased the little mechanical computer toy/game called "Turing Tumble" ( https://www.turingtumble.com ). It is a really cool toy, but the board for ours was warped enough so that the plastic pieces that connect the marble release to the flippers at the bottom were touching the pegs in certain places.

See these threads on the Turing Tumble Community web site for detailts:

This Thing is a small piece that clips onto the connector and spaces it far enough out from the board so that the pegs do not impact it.

As always, I've included the Fusion 360 (CAD) source file in case you would like to make changes to the design.

Notes:

I used 3 perimeters, 5 top/bottom layers. however, the number of top/bottom layers is not important as this thing prints as all perimeters and gap fill.rnrnI used PETG because it's flexible and a little sticky, which helps the part to snap onto the connector and then stay in place.
