…Is there a "source" for these kinds of items?…

Have you looked at The Scenery Sourcelist?

Can't help with 3D printing if you have no clear picture or drawing with dimensions of what you want.

I would imagine my next step would be to find someone to 3-D print these if we can't find a suitable match.

Should not be necessary...

I scratchbuilt my GTW tower’s rigging in styrene a few years ago. I would definitely 3D print a lot of the gear now and lately I’m  leaning toward getting a laser cutter which I think would be helpful. Here’s an ancient thread that shows what I did to make reasonably ok-looking hardware:

Tichy makes nice chutes and other hardware in HO. You could probably use them as a pattern for O scale:

I used Plastruct ladders and stairs.
