I made a thing for switches because the thing I wanted didn't exist.

    The three switch plate is up, but not for sale yet. Price will be a dollar more, slightly lower volume but larger surface area, don't know exactly how Shapeways calculates price from that. Also, it looks like there's something wonky in the model once uploaded, but I can't print it at home to check it because my printer is currently loaned out. I'm headed out of town for the weekend in about 15 minutes so I can't address it now, but when I get back I'll figure out what happened to the model and get the first one ordered. Once I have it in hand and verify that everything fits like it should it'll go up for sale on Shapeways. ~2 weeks from today.

    I didn't build it hoping for your approval, I built it because it meets mine!
    So this three switch plate should fit three of these Mictuning style switches? If so, I want one too!

    Didn't even realize these are 3D printed. I thought you crafted them and they were being injection molded. Awesome. Great job btw!

    Update on the 3 switch panel. First one is printed and in the mail. should have it in hand on Monday and test fit either that night or the following morning. If it fits like it should, or if fit needs adjustment that won't affect print quality, I'll have it up for sale no later than Tuesday night.

    What does actually take to pop the cubby out and put this new panel in? Do the original knock out plugs fit this 3 hole switch panel.
    I can see wanting this 3 hole panel and needing 2 or 3 filler plugs until you step up and fill it all with switches. Do you know the part numbers that will plug the holes? I am watching this closely for purchase.

    The small panel that the dash pocket attaches to can be pried out pretty easily with a plastic pry tool. If you must use a screwdriver, wrap it up to prevent scratching the dash.

    I would assume so, but don't have a knock out plug to try it with.

    I don't, but I bet @Jeff Lange could probably provide that with a little buttering up and a post mention.

    The 22mm x 33mm switch hole, same plug that would be found where a clutch start cancel button should be.
