I decided to find out what would happen if I stepped on a blemished replacement cover. Was surprised that it survived my 250 pound load. If you watch the shadows you can see that I lifted my left foot so all of my weight was on the cover. This can not be good for them so I do not recommend stepping on the cover.

 
Did you 3D print that cover?
