The file 'Cherry MX Style Switch Container 3D Printer Model' is (stl) file type, size is 516.4KB.
I wanted a container for my switches and decided I could design one having seen no designs like this. The original files were based off of this, https://grabcad.com/library/cherry-mx-1 I simply modified it to turn it into a container.
‎
Scaling:
At 100% scale do not expect to fit more than 100 switches.
At 90% scale do not expect to fit more than 70 switches.
If you need more or less than these quantities scale at your own guesstimate, feel free to share what scale and quantity worked for you in the comments and I may add it to this description.

How To Print: I suggest printing the Bottom Housing (BH.stl), Top Housing (TH.stl), then the Stem (STM.stl).
Bottom Housing (BH.stl): Print with 10-20% infill with supports.
Top Housing (TH.stl): Print with 10-20% infill with supports. Remember to flip the model so it is laying flat upside down.
Stem (STM.stl): Print with 10-20% infill with supports.
I simply glued the stem to the top housing to complete it. It may be a bit rough opening and closing so you'll have to work it in for it to be smoother.

UPDATE FOR FEBRUARY 7TH: I've updated all the files for better tolerances. The previous stem would not fit within the top housing, as it was too tight. The top and bottom housing are now tighter, as they were not to my liking. I'm currently reprinting the stem to test its fit and will update later. The newest files will always be the newest version.
EDIT: Do not print the newest stem as it will not fit (its too tight). Instead print the older first model.
