I find the shroud on my Sapphire 480 Nitro pretty meh and I was wondering if I could 3D print a new one? Just the plastic not the metal heat sink. Thanks!

Nothing should be stopping you. You'll have to analyze the pcb and thermal design of your card though. Pcb analysis for mounting holes and thermal design to make sure you still are getting effective cooling. After that, you can start modelling.
