Hello,
My xcd 55v lens hood has a plastic ring to attach the lens hood to the lens and it broke, does anybody know where can I find a replacement or have the file to 3d print it?

I have now a +4000€ lens and can't use my lens hood because of a 10cent plastic piece  ;D

Thanks!

Repair! 
I had the very same problem, caused by putting the camera into my camera bag.
I used this "welding"-glue (Amazon) to reattach the plastic ring to the metal hood.  The glue provides a black powder and a glueing fluid which combine to a very hard compound.

The result is not pretty at all, but it works.  It did not break again.

But shame an Hasselblad! The hood's design is not made to be used in real world...

I guess its outside the warranty period?

my 907X with the 28P fell off my tripod when I was moving it and landed on the lens hood. It severely damaged the lens hood but there was no damage on the lens or camera(I could bend it back so it can be used for emergency).So having a sacrificial lens hood with a weak link is not a bad design decision, what is bad is that replacement hoods are not available for this lens and the ones which are available are largely overpriced. Lens hoods are not complex parts of engineering!
