I may be out of my area of expertise (which is really limited to teaching high school English) but could this product not be 3D printed? Just curious.

I'm not too crafty, but I'd throw some money at that.

Would anyone be willing to lend me their CNC screen, so I can make one? His posts indicate he's supportive of that. . . .

I dun dood it. I cut a template out of black foam board and trimmed it until it fit. A friend with a wood shop is cutting out for me. I bent a pair of rubber covered p-clips and bent and cut them to work. All that is left is to insert the screen material and Bobs yet uncle!

Here's my take I did last year. Parts are all 3d printed. I made it to fit my '84 Westy. When I made a couple extra for friends, I discovered that not all skylight operator covers are the same. I need to adjust my drawings to fit the newer/new covers.
I painted the cover and screen parts with Fusion Matte River Rock.

Here's mine. Two day project. 1/4" birch plywood, jigsaw, black nylon screen and VHB tape. The bottom side will be painted gray to match my interior. Easy peasy!
