Possibly, but I'd need accurate dimensions from the xB components.
I would avoid a 3D printed adapter, unless you're having it made by someone that specializes in functional components. I've seen too many projects where someone used an inexpensive printer, didn't understand how to setup the parameters, and got a result that mechanically failed in short order. If you're just testing fit and dimensions, I think you'd be OK, but for actual use you'd want something machined from a solid block. The mating surfaces have to be solid enough to seal with a gasket, otherwise you'll have AFR issues and rough idle.
