Description
I have one of those classic 1" home barbells that's about 5' long and uses a silver knurled sleeve stuck between two red screw-down collars. I found that the plates were spaced too close together to do Sumo Deadlifts.
These are simple spacers that add 8" (4" x 2) to the effective width between the plates. This allows me to setup with a proper Sumo stance.
The Spacer is designed to allow the silver knurled sleeve to nest into it as well as nesting into the red collars.
If you follow my print instructions then your Spacers should each weigh about 1/4 lbs (so 1/2 lbs for a pair).

Infill:
50%
Notes:
Printing at 0.2mm layer thickness with a 0.4mm nozzle with 3 walls, 5 top/bottom shell layers, & approx 50% infill should get you a Spacer that weights about 4 oz (1/4 lbs).
You'll need supports and I recommend you orient the Spacer with the protruding part down (as shown in the Slicer image).
