I wouldn't do something like that with a "home" 3D printer because PLA (the most common "plastic" used for 3D printing) has a tendency to leave small microscopic particles all over the place, which could eventually be a problem for a mechanical keyboard. And printing something that big in ABS would require a very expensive printer. You may however have this kind of things printed by a professional service like Shapeways (I've never used them so this isn't a recommendation). Just keep in mind it's not always easy to get the dimension tolerances right on the first try so you may have to print 2 or 3 of them before getting the fit you want. Also it's not that easy to get precise measurement of something like the M100 (unless someone has a complete and accurate 3D model?). I personally don't own calipers large enough to accurately measure the exact size of the top rim but if someone could provide those dimensions I can probably make a 3D model so whoever is serious about getting one of those could have it printed professionally.
