Where can I get this stackable header *cheaply*?

Does no-one actually read the posts in threads any more? ::)

And anyway, I don't wanna have to do that dozens and dozens of times, nor waste a bunch of male pin header strips. :--

Have you tried 3D printing some of the correct dimensions? Might take a few tries to get a snug fit, but the cost of material for such a small piece would be nearly nothing.

I don't have, nor have access to, a 3D printer.

Does it matter if the shroud pieces are a tiny bit loose? You push down the header, solder, it should hold it in place. And male header strips are incredibly cheap.
Your quantity is too low that the savings is not really worth it, $2*30pc is ~$60 in savings. Is it worth your time?
If you are really that cheap, you won't complain about having to do a bunch of extra steps  :D
