@AlmosN8kd haha, we have the same "issue" and I've been saying "I'm making new ones next year" for 3 years now, lol.

Well, I'll probably take the time to design some of these things; they're likely pretty simple so shouldn't take much. I can send you the STL file when I'm done if you really want. Won't get started until after thanksgiving though (my wife has a thing about no Christmas stuff until after thanksgiving).

I picked up a cheap 3D printer 2nd hand recently; already used it to make some brackets for my Stealth but it's kinda handy to think of what it can be used for. My wife already wants me to make some remake some dividers for Christmas ornaments since the ones in the storage bin are cardboard/cardstock, falling apart, and can't be purchase separately (and, no one wants to take the time to cut out more).

What model printer do you have?
 
Something I've been working on. I've tried scanning the actual part a few times with a relatively inexpensive 3D scanner (Creality Ferret Pro). And, while I can get something that looks decent, I haven't been able to really work with the 3D models for various reasons. Part of it is my lack of familiarity with the processes to go from physical, to digital, and back to physical via printing. So, I took a break from trying another 3D scan in order to build the physical part in Fusion. The geometry is not perfect, it is close, potentially useable; but, when I took the .stl file and put it into Cura for slicing, I was somewhat shocked at the 2+ day build time. Admittedly, my 3D printer (AnyCubic Kobra Max) isn't state of the art, so I'm sure that is part of it, the rest is likely size as this part (an air duct for a side mount intercooler on a 99 3000GT VR-4) is pushing the bounds of what the printer can do with the space it has.

May I see the STL?

The K2 we have at work is huge and high speed -- I don't mind giving it a shot in there if you're game.
