He thinks it's cool.

Not ABS. Black cast acrylic.

Cool. What's your source? Have you looked at Tap plastics?

It's pretty easy. I've attached both the Batman plate file and a blank switch plate file you can model around for other things. Just take the blank one and put it into the center of whatever design you want then do all your extruding from there. Both are designed in MM. The Batman cover uses 1/8" stock. Keep in mind, the back will be flat and most switches will be mounted on the face of the wall so there will be a little gap. The solution is to remove a bit of drywall behind the switch so the metal fits flush with the face of the wall if the 1mm gap bothers you.
