Check out melevs reef. He makes polycarbonate overflow covers. I just got one for my tank. Not sure of your measurements but here is the link to check out

Hope this helps

I can print something for you, but the quality of the end product 100% depends on your able to take precise measurements. Like not using a ruler- preferably using a caliper and providing a drawing.

Ok thanks. PM sent.
 
I second this request but for an eshopps HOB pf300 overflow cover. Would need a hole placed for the overflow tube to snugly fit into as well. Let me know if interested and i can get measurements going on this too. I have digital calipers.

If you can draw if, I can print it. Or optionally someone could send me one to make a perfect lid for and then return it
 
Shoot, I stated I would be able to help on another post you had put out as well but my printer has a 9.5" platform... Only way I could help would be to split the print and glue together. (We do this a lot in the 3D Print world.)

Is this what you are thinking? How far should this hang over? I have it 1" deep at this point....

Send Measurements and I will see if I can get it put into Sketchup, from there we can see if we can print it...

Yes. That is perfect.

Anything to make sure snails can't go under weir? Maybe an 1/8 on bottom weir facing overflow.
 
Is this what you are thinking? Since we added the 1/8" I added an 1/8 to the back to extend the cover far enough to accommodate that lip... So from front to back is now

Lastly, please measure those corners again and get me as exact as you can for a measurement, are they really 3" on the button?
 
This is as exact as my computer can get... Let me know if it will work and I will put it into Cura and see how much plastic it will take to make.
