This has taken me over a year to get manufactured.
My first order had seams in it, because it was glued together.
I was close to order from a guy in Denmark, but it turned out that those lids are also pieces glued together.
The factory said it was not possible to make this without seams. In this day and age it is not allowed to say that “No” doesn’t mean no, but I didn’t take no for an answer. I simply instructed them how to do it the way I meant it could be done.
So I present to you:

Very nice. Can you show some more photos that include the back part of it and the mounting to the dust cover hinge?-sonavor

Awaiting a better solution but quite sure you already think of it, I would try aluminium adhesive tape (for chimneys, you know?) and nowadays hard to find Letraset or Decadry at the right size (5 or 6 mm from memory). Helvetica regular or light: not spot on but the most approaching I've found.
Via silk screen.
Or maybe... don't Maker/DIY 3D-print shoppes do laser etching nowadays? The aluminum would have to be anodized, because it can't actually etch metal, only the surface coating. But this includes paint, so you could put on the clear coat and then etch that away, and wait a few years for it to show a bit more. (This is assuming you didn't mean the question humorously... You are so studly-DIY, one might imagine...)
Studly. (As previously stated.) Now all you have to do is make a hundred or so *before* your own, so it's fuzzed-up like the original got, during the factory run!
