This is great Greg.. although I don't have the equipment or skillset to print them. I need to befriend a teenager with a 3d Printer. Also, should there be a half length label for the Aux Light button that just says "Nothing"

Fusion 360 on the other hand is one of the most unintuitive cad programs I have used...
But at the end of the day, some teenager with a printer would be the way to go like you say
