In case you haven't spoken to Ronan (who has awesome products by the way!) I'd be happy to offer some assistance.
There are flexible materials you can 3D print in, the most readily available tend to have a grainy finish to them due to the fact they are created from a sintered powder material so would be hard to add small details like engraving but you could definitely design in cutouts.
They are readily available in black or an off white colour, though I have seen the white dyed successfully with Dylon in a range of colours . They are not like rubber , i.e when deformed they will not spring back immediately to the original shape, but more like a silicone phone case, which is one of the main things I've seen them used for. I think they would be ok for snapping round a top tube but may be a case of trying it and seeing if it works
If anyone's interested would be happy to CAD one up for you and get a price
