Anyone made a free 3D print design for the SE/30 programmer's switch?

Not mine... I'd recommend trying it with something like PETG or Nylon. PLA is exceptionally fragile at these thicknesses, even at 100% infill. I've tried several orientations and it's just as fragile, even the way the designer says to.

I have printed this one, it is OK but not durable. You definitely want to print on its side - if the layers are across the direction of flex it won't last long. Unfortunately there's no good orientation, when your buttons are printed for maximum strength the fingers that reach into the mainboard buttons are not and they break off easily. This is a good candidate for remixing to allow a piece of piano wire or plastic to be bonded in for strength in the direction you choose to have the print layers laid down in the short direction.
Maybe something other than PLA or PETG would be a better material here.
