Thank you, Mojo.
I had considered that. But it might need to be a silver tube to sound okay.
I would also need a way do describe it precisely in a way that could be converted to 3D printing instructions.
I appreciate you suggestion though. It is great to be thinking outside of the box.
I made a foil tracing of one, that I plan to take to my flute mechanic to see if he has any suggestions. He was able to improvise a Bb footjoint for me, so that is a possibility.
In the meantime, I am still open to purchasing a used Foster Extension.

Thank you, Gandalfe. That site is a good resource. I have been there before.
That site describes the Foster Extension, but does not list any for sale. It does have a list of flute websites. I will see if any of those have a forum.
Unfortunately, the Foster Extension is no longer manufactured. So the only ones for sale are used ones.
I can attest to its effectiveness. My flute coach has one, and I have convinced her to remove it when playing in a small room. It makes the flute loud enough to hurt my ears.
