Made a couple of designs for my yacht, now sharing with the world: Portlight Flyscreen by Rain And Storm | Download free STL model | Printables.com https://www.printables.com/model/483203-portlight-flyscreen

The idea is simple: angled grill that guarantees privacy, and also keeps rain water out. Especially useful for heads.

I was only able to confirm the shape and size for Lewmar's Atlantic 32 — the ones I have on my yacht. The rest I created using measurements specified in this file:

So if you have Size 10/30/40/60, please let me know if I messed up and need to adjust the corner radius and overall size.

If you have macOS, please feel free to get ShapeScript and use the .shape file from the first link (printables.com). You can customize angle, dimensions, mesh hole size — it's kind of like a parameterized CAD file, except it spits out polygons (STL/3MF/etc) instead of STEP.
 
Useful, the portlights on my boat are the Lewmar Size 20 Ocean Series Hatches.
