Update 9/15/12: v0.69 includes mounting holes, trace output, snap-on Prusa Mendel brackets, and "debug" methods.
This is a fully parametric, fully printable switch panel. Currently 26 parameters can be tweaked to change everything from the size of number of switches and panel to the number of throws and throw angle. By adding just a bit of old network cable wire and piece of a brass fastener, the switches can be wired in a number of different configurations, including SPST, SPDT, SPTT. (I'll be adding DPST, DPDT, DPTT configurations next.)
Most of these tests I've printed have two switches, but it's very easy to render only one or even more than two. For example, for six switches arranged in two rows of three, just set the switches parameter to [3,2].

The code is fully commented, and all the parameters are described in the code file.
