This a set of six dummy switch covers for automobile dashboards.  They were sized for a 2015  Toyota Prius C, but I've looked at other dashboards from other late model Toyotas and it looks like they may work in those as well.  The size of the hole should be about 22 mm x 33 mm.

Each switch has graphical labels on them.  They include "Launch Missile", "Rear-Mounted Mini-Gun","Eject Passenger", "Deploy Road Tacks", "Smoke Screen" and "Flame Thrower".

Notes:

I used my Mosaic Palette+ to print these dummy switches.  In Simplify 3D, create three processes.  Import the three STL files, select them all and Align the Origins and then Group them.  Assign a different STL file to each of the processes.

If you only have two extruders, assign the switch and slot cover STLs to the same process or extruder.

I think the switches would have come out better in my print if I had used 0.1 or 0.05 mm resolution, but the Palette+ requires re-calibration whenever you switch resolutions and it's kind of a pain in the butt.

Post-Printing

Almost perfect but...

You might need to file the corners of each switch slightly after print so they will fit the hole in your dash better.

How I Designed This

Mostly from scratch using TinkerCAD.  I included a heavily modifed SCAD file from this thing, that I used to get the basic slot cover.

Thanks fmotta.

I got the basic rocker switch 3D model from:

I used this online converter to turn images into 3D objects that I could import into TinkerCAD:
