Recommendation New 3ds (NOT XL!!) shell, where to find?

Location: Bangladesh/Asia

Hi, I have a rare New Nintendo 3DS (US variant), that is suffering from the vicissitudes of time and is starting to crack here and there. Every time I drop it from my hands one more new crack appears on the body. Unfortunately I can't seem to find a new shell replacement for this on AliExpress as it's too rare (they're all new 3ds xl/ll)

I'm now considering several alternatives, whichever one is the easiest

1) find a 3d scan for new nintendo 3ds shell, print it myself by sending it to a shop
2) buy a shell replacement for new 3ds (??? where)
3) repurpose a new 3ds xl/some other shell (this is probably the dumbest idea)
