How to transfere a 2D Tamplate to a hemisphere?

Hey Guys *Austins voice*

 

I bought a used Zotac ZBox Sphere that I want to use as a low power Teamspeak Server.

The design of the ZBox is really nice but not nerdy enough for me. Thats why I want to do a case mod with it.

 

My problem is that I already have a specific idea and design in mind. I want to draw this design on one half of the sphere. But I want to make a tamplate so that i can easier transfere it on the case.

Later I will use a Dremel to mill some grooves.

 

Now my Question:

Does anyone have an idea how I can adapt my template, so that it is still correct on the round surface of the hemisphere?

 

Thank you for your help

The design needs to be made on a 3D model itself and then translated to a 2D template for the best accuracy, going from flat the round is going to leave you with wedge cutouts or inaccuracies to where it will not line up.
