I remixed the model of @firstgizmo and made it 6mm wider to protect a UGREEN DXP 6800 Pro NAS power switch.

Features:
Is fully 3D printable. No extra hardware needed. Fits over UGREEN NAS power switches. Just use some superglue or VHB tape. The compliant spring gives the cover a satisfying snaping motion. The .STEP is available too if you have to make it fit for some weird switches or to customize for your own project.
Printing:
Best be done in the given orientation. Enable a brim and maybe organic support for the cap part. Spring needs support! Layerheights from 0.12-0.25mm are good to go. The mechanism works fine with all parts printed from PLA but i recommend higly to have at least the spring part made from PETG. Although i never had any issue with a spring made from PLA, a PETG spring should be more reliable on the long run.
Assembly:
1) Mount the spring to the cap. Use a piece of filament as axle. Pay attention to insert it the right way round. (See picture below)
2) Push the spring in the base parts recess. You might need some practice and some fine pliers to persuade the spring to go in its designated place. Please note that the spring is intended to “work/move” a little in the base in order to ensure its function. If you fix it with glue it is likely that the cap wont close fully anymore.
3) Fix the cap to the base. Use a piece of filament as axle
3a) If you use the cap with the pattern on top, use sharpy or a little nail polish to give it a nice coloring.
3b) If you are using the inverted pattern, you have to glue the inserts in place with a drop of superglue
4) Done! enjoy the awesome springiness!
