Kitchen stove fan "flap".
I have to replace the stove fan vent flap (or whatever it is called) on the exterior of the trailer which hinges at the top and is light enough to lift when the stove fan is activated and expels fumes...

I have a new toy that's perfect for your needs. A 3-D printer.
You can get a decent one for 200 bucks (often on sale for half that I think Micro Center is pushing 'em at $99 off just now)
And you carefully draw the flapper or scan it (Another toy I don't have)
And print it using one of the higher temp tougher plastics.
I'm printing with PLA (Good to around 120 F then it gets soft) but it's way stronger than I expected it to be.
And you can make signs. and toys, and parts (I have a collection of plastic parts for selected RV devices) Cost to print a part is about 2-3 cents per Gram and stuff takes very few grams as it turns out.
