The classic adapter is much more interesting for me, even the price is very high, I think. maybe someone publishes a 3D printer layout on the Shapeways shop?

It's more than cutting away the bridge. It's also cutting one of the slanted sides. And it's doing it carefully. But I don't mind if it's not worth it to you.

As to the classic adapter, I actually do print the plastic parts at Shapeways these days. Costs about $12. Then I have to cut and solder contacts from brass sheet, and glue assemble/glue the parts so the contacts are embedded inside the plastic frame.

It takes a couple hours to do one, plus there's the fact that I put all the time into figuring out how to make them and into designing the 3D model. It may be pricey to you, but I've made many people happy with them.
