1)Buy a 3D printer
2)figure out how to create a software model of the existing panel
3)print it out with the 3D printer

At least it's an excuse to have a 3D printer.

When I got my HP 4P laser printer a decade ago for fifteen dollars,
one the way home I noticed the panel to access the memory slots was
missing.  Maybe I losted it as I carried it, but I wondered if it had
been missing and was thus donated to the Rotary Club as a result.  It
had a really low page count on it when I got it.

The panel was plastic, there were tabs to hold it in place.

The best I could do was find a scrap inkjet printer with enough flat
surface on the cover and cut out a piece of plastic the right size.
And then I had to tape it, too much work (assuming I could do it) to
create the tabs to hold it in place.
