I wanted to upgrade my switches. I found these 4 gang switches on amazon that I fell in love with. However, because they were 4 switches in a single gang space, I was left with big holes in the wall and a big gang box and wires. So I modeled these around those holes to cover them up but still have it accessible in case I need to work on them later. 

PS: It uses magnets that I also got on amazon (6x2mm)

I don't like the screw holes showing up, and I wanted a flush mount aesthetic where the switches are on the same level as the cover. Because these switches are smart switches, I have them controlled with home assistant and sensors around the house. I don't need to feel them or see them pop out of the palate for easy access. so I also made a magnetic cover thick enough that it is flush with the buttons/switches. 

Instead of plain/flat top covers, In the near future I intend to make more aesthetically pleasing magnetic covers with a bunch of designs, textures and overlays to make them look more modern and better cover the magnet holes.
