I’m still working on my prototypes to see if the model is viable, but before I go any further, I wanted to see if anyone else was interested.
I have both Tactile and Linear Hi-Tek switches, no Clicky.
Metal 3D printed:



These won’t be cheap. In simple steel versions, the price ranges from $30-35 just for the printing, not counting the switch, any included accessories, and shipping. It might get cheaper if multiple holders are made at the same time (it generally is), but I can’t say what kind of price difference it would be yet. I wouldn’t trust other plastic materials, but the ones that can print in acceptable tolerances are half the price if you wanted to give them a shot.
Laser Cut/Water Cut/CNCed



The cost of this is highly contingent upon material, cutting method, and finish (if applicable). Acrylic would be the cheapest while powder coated steel or anodized aluminum would add a bit to the cost even if the middle were to remain acrylic. If the middle isn’t acrylic, the middle piece would likely have to be waterjet cut or milled due to the thickness.
