I'm not sure if anyone prints those but if you try posing your question here, you may get some replies;

What is the reason you want to raise the water level in the tank. When you do this it will change the water level in the rear and you will have to add water there. You then get in a situation where you could have a flood if the weir gets blocked for any reason.

well with the tank has like a 2in difference between the max water level and the top of the glass. 1-for aesthetic reasons 2- i can fit prob 1.5+ more gallons of water in the tank if I raise it an inch or so. more water is never a bad thing. i've done my share of research and have seen people raising the water level successfully, whether its using a 3d printed part or simply silicioning some plastic or acrylic on the back of the overflow gates.

I have the 40 gallon of this tank. I would not do it. But what do I know I have only been keeping fish for 55 years. [emoji3]
