I built my ferris sweep using Gateron brown switches. a consequence of this is that they are really tall and look wierd just sitting on the pcb. I also needed a solution for tenting, so I made this model. It has three parts:

The bottom holds the pcb using only friction. it sits on a little ledge. there is a small cavity below the pcb but otherwise it is quite thin.

The top fits onto the bottom, again with friction. it hides the tall switches, and sort of molds around the keys.

There are holes for the TRRS and USB-C ports.

The tenting attachment is detachable and fits onto the bottom. I only modeled a 30 version but may make a 10 at some point. I actually decided after making this that I don't like tenting, but I know a lot of people do.

I printed at 0.2 layer height with Hatchox Matte white PLA, and a 04mm nozzle. The tolerances on this model are super tight so YMMV on the fit. The current gap between the theoretical vs slop-compensated fit is 0.1mm.
