I'm looking for a lens hood for my A 24mm f2.8 The filter ring is
seriously damaged, (interesting subject for a Macro, maybe I'll get
around to it), nothing will screw onto the it.
Besides, I don't have to worry about dropping it I already have.

IMHO a lens hood that doesn't screw on is dangerous. There is a
tendency to forget that the hood isn't a screw on and to unconsciously
rely on the hood to "catch" when holding your camera by the lens
(letting it slip through your hand). When the hood comes off in your
hand and you are picking up your camera from the concrete below,
you'll know what I mean.
If you can't use a screw-in hood, then one way to prevent that from
happening is to use something that doesn't LOOK like a "real" screw-on
hood:

Frankly, if your goal is simply to keep light off the lens elements,
printing your own lens hood is a darn good option.
