chat I'm looking for keywords/solutions for something 3D printable.
I want to to make a panel with buttons, switches, connectors, ... but I don't want to design it from scratch.
what are these things called? what is already out there?
more details:
imagine the modularity an AV/server-rack, but instead of one <thing> per height, I'm looking at one HU that contains multiple <things>. "like keystone?" yes exactly! just more compact.
I imagine a box where 2 sides are just slots for custom covers
@jibi2k "button box" is the correct direction, it's just hard to find something modular
"macro pad"s are very specific
I need something more "here's a frame, slide in that cover*"
*sheet of plastic where I drilled 2 holes to insert switches
so then a blank faceplate where you can drill your holes and some printable rack which you slide those into like

There are gridfinity baseplates that you can probably modify for your purpose

Make it rectangular remove the center strut and then you can clip variable width faceplates top to bottom.
