By an unlikely chance has anyone CAD’ed the tank black covers?
I need some printed as some have cracked over time and Ive started to recoat the tanks and store them wisely once recoated.
Thanks!
They look to be vac-formed, so you could use one to make a plaster mould and vac form into it.
Definitely vacuum formed, but even hobby-grade vacuum forming processes are overkill to make just one part, it would be much easier to just print a 3 or 4 part piece.
Copying the exact same design may be a bit too cumbersome for some, but the function of this part is simple enough that a simple plate the shape of the tank with a ridge would suffice.
Yep, I dont have the skills nor equipment to vacuform, nor the ability to CAD myself…
If anyone wants to help, I’ll be eternally grateful! 
Or just use clingfilm?

Well the actual lids are easier to stack tanks with and way more durable than film…
I’d honestly love to see a tank cover that clips firmly into place a bit more firmly, maybe something that makes the whole thing un-spillable / leakproof when kept nice and level. It’d make it so much easier for storing the tanks that are not in use.
I’d also like to see a good spot on at least one side where you could put an index label as to the type of resin used with the tank. (I know, a sharpie or labelmaker would do the trick, but, something purpose built would be better.
