    One option for this sort of thing is to get a full CT scan of the device (there are industrial CT scanning companies that do this). You can export the geometry as an STL and print it directly out of a clear material. Some SLA resins have very good optical properties and might work for your purpose here without having to reduce the geometry to 2D. I do think the 2D versions do help to make it easier to understand the concepts sometimes though.

      Lol...I have amblyopia bilaterally, and there's really seldom any 3D for me. Crossing my eyes gives me two well separated images that do not mesh, and as for the staring off into space...well, no.
      Unusually though, both eyes have full function and while they can work together even whilst wandering (ex, I can watch the road and the rearview simultaneously), it's a conscious thing. And since using a smartphone, it makes typing accurately very difficult; the responsive bit for H, for instance, isn't quite where my finger thinks it is, so I get a lot of Js instead.

It does give me a good idea of which image in double-vision to treat as the "false" image, as the one from my bad eye is far more transparent, and gradually disappears if I keep my gaze fixed. I do still sometimes have to "cheat" on [DMV] vision chart tests if I don't have a valid opt*ist note on hand, but my peripheral vision and depth perception are relatively good for someone with 20/100 vision on one eye, when that eye also tends to fade to black in a strictly-static gaze over 15-30 seconds. ;D ...

    It might help to use a 3D printer to produce wider versions. The water-tightness isn't perfect, but should be good enough, and you can always coat the parts in epoxy resin to seal the small gaps, relying on silicone for the seal between the printed parts and the acrylic.

      If you want to see more of that use, I'd highly recommend searching for cross-eye stereograms. There are even paintings that reveal an image only when cross-eyed!
      If you can "de-focus" your eyes so they're parallel (sometimes called a thousand-yard stare), there are also stereograms for that.
      VR headsets do something similar too. The lenses redirect light so that you can view parallel-eye stereograms without de-focusing your eyes, and the screen displays a constantly-updating parallel-eye stereogram!

      I found something curious. I am nearsighted so if I take my glasses off and de-focus my eyes I still see close things crystal clear (because my eye can't focus to distant things so it just gives up on it and stays in close focus). This way the image is so much bigger and much eaiser to focus. If I put my glasses on I can't do this since I become able to focus to the distance and the 3D picture becomes all blury. In the same way if I do it cross eyed without glasses for some reason I can't focus my eyes but glasses on cross eyeing it, it works perfectly.

      Actually it’s been used extensively in the past. There are artworks that have elements that can only be viewed stereoscopically and is the basis behind all of those magic eye gimmicks that was popular in the 80s and 90s. Additionally novelty devices called stereoscopes have been around since the late 1800s. They worked by having two photographs of the same image shot from slightly different angles placed inside and the user would then look through the viewfinder and see a 3D image.

Try to overlap the middle two video images (basically the left video in one with the right video in the other).

      I remember watching these "fake 3D effect" videos and images that can trick your brain into thinking it's looking at a 3D image, by just crossing your eyes and focusing both images with each eye at the same time.
      But I didn't know it was called "stereogram". Also, to me I found quite difficult to recreate this stereogram, as the image was spinning around, and when it got to the back part of the whistle, my eyes just moved with it and lost the focus to the 3D image.
