My first thought was to just make a larger cover. I know someone with a 3d printer so might see if he can knock something up.Hey thread; I'll share the cost of a 3d printed cover if anyone has the skills and equipment to make it happen.

Unfortunately it's not just about the shape. Material will be important too. This is a structural part because it acts as your top cap, so it needs to be able to take the force required to preload the headset. 3D printed plastic is not going to cut it. 3D printed metal, maybe.
FYI - there are 3D printers for composite structural grade materials. I've seen a large industrial sized one a a 3D printer show a number of years back that printed an entire "electric" car during the show from scratch. The surface finish was horrible but both functional along with structural. The "car" was the sized of a large go-kart/small dune buggy in reality.
